Lions The Kings of the Beasts Documentary movie trailer - “LIONS: THE KING OF THE BEASTS” follows a pride of lions in the austere desert areas in the Kalahari read sand dunes as well as along the banks of the Chobe river. How can they survive in such a stretch of land? They are almost as ghosts. You can search them for weeks without seeing a glimpse of them. And then they show up – well fed and in perfect shape.
