Inspired by the real life story of Dan Fastuca and his beloved lion, Vatani.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDan writes of the real Vatani. \"When I first met Vatani as a young cub, he was being bred in captivity to be utilized as an animal ambassador at a public conservation center. However it became clear quite quickly that this beautiful, young lion was probably not the best choice for this role. Even at 5 weeks, Vatani exhibited inordinate self-confidence, unwavering fearlessness and an independent spirit. These traits, although admirable in many circumstances, did not bode well for Vatani finding his \"forever home\" and living a happy, healthy life. And so I realized there was only one clear choice...I must raise Vatani myself. Since I had worked with Apex predators for over 20 years prior, I knew (or thought I knew) I was prepared to take on this daunting challenge.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Regent Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47575704961175,"sku":"9781587907197","price":2243.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781587907197.webp?v=1774898815","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/vatani-me-9781587907197","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
