"Life is difficult for Legadema, a little leopard who must learn to survive in the big world. She'll need lots of courage, and some help from her mother, to overcome challenges and gain the skills she needs to strike out on her own, as every leopard must do."--Back cover.

"A symbol of mythic potency, the African lion has ruled the human imagination for millennia. But in Botswana's Okavango Delta, the world's most awe-inspiring hunters are challenged not only by their waterlogged territory, but also by their formidable prey--the buffalo--who wield their massive horns with deadly accuracy. Pulsing with ancient rhythms of wild Africa, this harsh and eternal struggle is compelling, powerful, and poignant. Award-winning filmmakers and National Geographic Explorers-in-Residence Beverly and Dereck Joubert, give us an unforgettable glimpse of this iconic drama in the official companion book to their feature film, 'The Last Lions', and warn that due to declining numbers of lions in the wild, it may soon end forever..."--P.
