Lions of the African Night Narrated by Martin Jarvis The lion, the king of beasts, is a nocturnal prowler. He lazes away the day, and most of his activity is hidden behind a cloak of darkness. But now the award-winning wildlife camera-team of David and Carol Hughes reveals the night-shift in the Kruger National Park. Their film, which took over three years to make, follows the fortunes of a large pride of 30 lionesses and cubs in their nightly quest for food. The lions' encounters with wart hog, porcupine, wildebeest and zebra in the velvet blackness of the Bushveld are set against a cast of lesser creatures - an orgy of foam-nesting frogs, a frog-eating spider, a cricket which uses leaves as 'loud speakers' and a ferocious ant-lion.
