Disney Nature: African Cats: The Story Behind the Film (Disney Editions Deluxe (Film))

By Keith Scholey and Amanda Barrett

Book Overview

In the heart of Africa, the Masai Mara Game Reserve is a place where, in place of justice and fairness, raw power rules the day, and to survive means to fight. Lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, buffalo, gazelles, and other large mammals roam the vast, rolling plains of the reserve, and with so many species competing for space and food, the stakes are high, and danger looms at every turn. In African Cats: Kingdom of Courage , filmmakers Keith Scholey and Amanda Barrett follow the lives of some of the Masai Mara's big cats, focusing on two lionesses and a cheetah and her adorable cubs. This companion book to their incredible film offers a fascinating exploration of the unique, yet interwoven, stories of each cat. Filled with stunning photographs of the Kenyan plains and the remarkable animals that reside on them, this book will take you on an unforgettable journey chronicling the struggle to survive.
