The Lions Rule

The Glade is a paradise in the desiccated plains of Ruaha. Water is here all year round. This bounty spawns strange relationships, like the pact that exists between a baboon and a lion family who, against all natural instincts, live in harmony.

As the dry season continues in Ruaha, herds of elephants arrive in the Glade. They dig deep into the sand with their trunks to tap the cleanest water. The Glade pride copy the elephants - unusual behavior, but not in the Glade.

An adult male arrives at the Glade to resume his positions as leader and father. The cubs grow quickly - there is one male among them. When the cub reaches adolescence, he begins to play dangerous games, trying to mate with female members of the pride.
