KING of the JUNGLE??!!
Educational film about the life of lions and their keepers. I had NO CLUE that the KING? of the JUNGLE was more into GTL than the female, how on earth did this instinctual(?)behavior evolve? Queen Bee I comprehend, but Hunt, Kill, Have Kids, Raise Kids, Defer to KINGY until he is satisfied, I was shocked, understand a human male desiring this lazy existence but a phenomenal animal worthy of great physical feats of challenging duels with other comparable animals and yet, nada??? Loved the story and could not believe that lioness just jumped up on the diminuitive female trainer like a lab retriever and she held her own!! More impressive was the relationship portrayed in the film between the humans, Mom n Dad. In the middle of the desert for years, rather alone with each other 24/7 and it looks soooo easy like clockwork and what a delightful existence and feeling sad for my contentious relationships ONLY to discover they drove each other crazy!!! sigh, feel better now.... Great film for animal lovers and this one especially for the magnificent scenery and accomplishments of reverting tame to wild for survival.
