Hello. I am Amani. Expecting someone else? Well, you got me. I am pretty high up. Pridelands fastest, right here. My mom had this same role once. But enough about me and mom. This is dad's story. You're in my world now...
Oh, uh, I mean that you actually have to be in the Pridelands to be hearing this. I was not trying to be scary.
Dad was raised the same way all cheetahs are raised as cubs. By his mom. Once he was old enough to hunt, though, everything changed. Training! Find your own food! Get away from my gazelle!
One day he left, the way all male cheetahs do, for a coalition. (Coalitions are groups of male cheetahs) Finding one, he introduced himself and expected immediate acceptance. Instead, he was asked to prove he could hunt. He got food, but "some flamingo" stole it for literally no reason. (Flamingos don't east zebra, they eat shrimp and algae)
The coalition turned him down.
Dad had gone back to square one. No group, no friends, separated from his family. This is the start of his solo life. And the thought that cheetahs did not have friends. Everybody knows what came next: Fuli, deep friendship, love, mating, cubs. (like me!)
What is not known is what mom did just after I was born. She left. It has always been me and dad. I was supposed to go with her! Dad taught me about that, and how I could never trust females.
Yet, here I am, in an almost all-girl Lion Guard. There is even a girl leader! What is wrong with me?
