The Last Lions (Paperback)

The kingly lion, long a symbol of power is today, threatened with extinction. Award-winning filmmakers and National Geographic Explorers-in-Residence Beverly and Dereck Jourbert, give us an unforgettable glimpse into the beautiful and dangerous world of Africa's big cats in the official companion book to their feature film, The Last Lions. Featuring more than 100 stunning photographs from their decades of living among the wildlife in Botswana's Okavango Delta, this book tells the dramatic and scientifically revealing story of an embattled yet resourceful African lioness and her cubs as they struggle for territory and fight to survive. Their intimate story is universal -- that of a dauntless mother protecting her young. The Jouberts bring to life the wild kingdom and the creatures who rule it - a world that will soon vanish if we do not act now to protect it.
