Fulani	...	The Cub

Comments: 10 stars on a 5 star scale. No humans. The story centers around a lion cub, Fulani, and nothing is more adorable than a lion cub, especially one that's got a great personality and gets lost in a swamp

As is common practice in the lion kingdom Fulani's mother travels a great distance from the main pride to give birth. Imagine this: Fulani is born like almost all cats on earth with an instinctual hatred of water. Then at six weeks old she has to swim about two miles to be introduced to her cousins, aunts and uncles, and grandparents. Talk about jumping in the deep end

This is also a fine introduction to the wonders of the Okavango Delta. In late fall/early winter it's thousands of square miles of parched grasslands and dried, cracked mud. Then almost overnight it's a swamp, completely flooded with rainwater that began 1,000 miles away in the highlands of Angola four months earlier. The water never reaches the sea. It spills out into the Kalahari Desert and dries up

Too bad this only ever aired as an episode of BBC Natural World and Big Cat Week. Never got a Digital release that I know of. It's a thoroughly engaging and enjoyable dramocumentary. ATF

Thank you mvgroup
