Heart of a Lioness

A documentary film on a lioness in Samburu:

Kamunyak is her name, means the blessed one
She adopted a baby oryx.
They stayed together for more than 16 days,
without food for both of them.
She didn't let oryx out of her sight,
but the little one couldn't live without mom's milk.
But once, Kamunyak had a rest and let oryx wander around.
The male lion ate the oryx,
sadly Kamunyak could only watch them,
and smell the blood on the grass afterward.
Kamunyak had her first meal after oryx's death,
and soon after she adopted other one, five all together.
But never like the first one.
She disappeared ...
Someone said she will appear as a sun
when the world is born again.
