For ten years Kamuti, a wise old leopard, has reigned over two square miles of prime hunting ground in the Luangwa Valley. She's held her own against the lions who steal her kills and survived to be thirteen years old, one of the oldest leopards in the African bush. But she's not as quick as she used to be - life is getting tougher. And now she's about to face the most serious challenge of her life. A younger, fitter and stronger female leopard is after her territory and is prepared to fight her for it. This will be a battle of age and experience versus youth and vitality.
