TV Show · Biography · Documentary

`Into the Pride' follows zoologist, animal trainer and large-predator expert Dave Salmoni on a tenuous journey inside a private game reserve in Africa. His mission? To help a pride of `problem lions' learn to accept humans in order to support the growing eco-tourism in the area. Transplanted from the largest national park in Namibia, the cats' aggression toward humans has become too dangerous, and if Salmoni can't get them to calm down - from Brutus, the dominant male, to Rough and Tumble, the youngest cubs - they'll be destroyed.
