The Lion Queen: Manyari queen of her pride

She’s a hunter, killer, sister, but above all a selfless mother. Soon after you meet Manyari, queen of her pride, she does something both unusual and bold. She leaves the sanctuary of her family with her young cubs and takes them on a dangerous odyssey. She makes a bid to escape because two young bloods are sniffing around and, if they take over the pride, they will kill her cubs. Out in the wilderness, away from the protection of the pride male and without her sister to help her hunt, Manyari is forced to take huge risks. When her cubs are starving they wander back dangerously close to the young princes; as Manyari fights for her cubs’ very survival, her every move is shadowed by the marauding nomads. They know she’s out there and they want her back. Witness the terrifying hazards this mother takes to give her cubs a few more precious months of life.
