Part of the Pride: My Life Among the Big Cats of Africa ReviewLike many, I've followed Kevin Richardson on YouTube with the various videos featuring him and his lions and hyenas. This book expands on the downloads and the documentary Dangerous Companions.
Kevin co-exists with his lions, cheetahs, hyenas and other animals in his protected South African animal park. He rules with love and respect combining science and psychology in the process. The animals in the park are the lions, the hyenas and others that can't be released into the wild for one reason or another.
The book is written with humor, compassion and understanding. As you follow Kevin through his childhood love with animals, his brushes and fascination with danger, and his maturity as he becomes the man he is--you come away with the sense that sometimes a person is predestined to do whatever it is they are doing. Richardson began his journey with the pride with two lion cubs ten years ago.
His lions Tau, Napoleon, Meg, Amy and Pelokyhale take on personalities as do the hyenas Trelli, Geena and the rest of the crew. He manages each animal with a knowledge of species behavior and also knowledge of the personality of each animal. For instance, pack structure is extremely important in hyena hierarchy. The more important your status, the more you can basically get away with. His hyena pack is led by the feisty Geena who constantly challenges and tests his ability to be in her presence. Richardson combines his knowledge of how hyenas interact based on scientific knowledge and how his Geena reacts within those guidelines.
If you have seen the videos on YouTube, it is amazing to see him wrestling with his lion pride members. The book expands on the personalities of the lions and Kevin's interaction with them. Your understanding of why Kevin takes the controlled risks that he does (especially having been attacked by a lion early on) will have you thanking fate that someone cares enough to do what he does. Your understanding of hyenas who are often maligned and lions who are often thought of as indiscriminate attackers--increases.
In the last decade the lion population worldwide has gone from over 300,000 individuals to less than 23,000. Poaching and encroachment are decimating the population. It is very possible that any future lion interactions will be in a protected animal park like the one Kevin is with. The more people like Kevin can help others understand the species that make up our earth, the better chance they will have at long term survival. Kevin and Tony Parks, his co-author have done an admirable job furthering this understanding.Part of the Pride: My Life Among the Big Cats of Africa Overview
