Ok. Think. What do you first imagine when you hear the word “lion”? A tremendously huge, frightening beast that hunts harmoniously with others of its species? WRONG! Now, what about cheetahs? Easy enough, you think. Not exactly titanic, yet their amber fur, which is dotted with charcoal-black spots, helps them blend into the grass, which gives them the element of surprise as well as speed! These cheetahs would never fight with each other, right? Again, WRONG! This movie, which takes place in Africa, will teach you all you need to know…
My favourite character (character? More like animal) is Sita, the cheetah. The main reason I like her is simply because she is a lone wolf cheetah. Probably abandoned by her gang, this animal is burdened with five hectic, playful cubs. Will they all make it?
I would recommend this picture to those who like nature documentaries (umm… David Attenborough?) So stop reading and watch African Cats!
