To answer the question of how the lion fits into the confines of man-restricted areas, the author and his team developed ground-breaking methods to count the lion population of the Kruger National Park. Previously the numerical extent of the lion population in the park was unknown. James Clarke, in his review for The Star newspaper, writes of the book "Butch Smuts proves that research in the bush is an adventure. Here are the facts about big-game management in the Kruger Park wrapped up in a highly readable story."
