“Her life was not easy. Not by any measure.
(...) She was treed by lions more times than anyone could count. She was involved in a serious fight with her neice the Nhlanguleni Female, escaping with scratches beneath her eye that could easily have cost her half her vision. She endured all of it and returned, each time, to patrol her territory, to hunt, to try again.”
