From the African Savannah to the Great Plains, the animals have had enough of Man’s greed, corruption and immorality. Enough is enough. Under the leadership of Nietzsche, an enlightened lion, the animal philosophers of the world have a plan that might just correct the injustices of the past, but will all the humans meekly agree to the new order?

    Background

    Nietzsche, the good old Samaritan Katanga lion, leader of a pride of fifty individuals, looked for a shadowed patch of land to lie on while the sun was fiercely burning. The sunburnt land had not seen more than a few droplets of rain in three months, the heat fiercer than any other heat Nietzsche had witnessed before.

    On this day, the twenty-year-old lion wanted to be far away from Salomé—his longtime friend and faithful companion—and his other mates. He craved a bit of solitude, to think, to ponder life, memories and what the future might bring forth. It was time for change; the animals could not just sit and watch how the humans followed the path of self-destruction anymore.

    Nietzsche slowly made his way towards the fringe of the forest, watching how a column of giant ants he had spotted beforehand was heading towards the lions’ den, in the opposite direction to where he was heading now.

    Some of the ant leaders of the tribe were being carried away by ants from a different species, a much smaller one, in their short yet very strong mandibles. Slavery had not been abolished throughout the ant empires yet.

    The lion slowed down his pace, his attention aimed at one particular member of the colony who had strayed away from the rest of the ants and was struggling to join his comrades; presently he was crawling five feet away from the long moving line, with little chances to catch up with his fellows. He had two bad legs he had to deal with. A large predator had accidentally disturbed the ants’ nest three days prior to their ongoing march and he was one of the victims.

    ‘Poor guy,’ Nietzsche said and carefully placed one of his large sharp claws in front of the tiny ant so that he could climb on it. Reluctant at first, the ant finally ascended the lion’s huge claw.

    He knew Nietzsche—everyone knew Nietzsche—but he didn’t expect that such a magnificent creature would ever help him, the tiny, humble one. The poor fellow held tight onto the unexpected help, before he would be returned safely to his brothers and sisters. No one had seemed disturbed by his absence. They were too many and he was too little.

    Nietzsche was still strolling towards the forest when he saw that the entire column of ants stopped their march, communicating with each other through their tiny antennas that kept moving back and forth. Word went out that Nietzsche had helped one stray member of their kind. Even the great chief, Agamemnon, who was carried on a dewless leaf by no less than ten ants, had been lowered to the ground and now, on his rear legs, was gazing at the awe-inspiring lion. One small flag made from remnants of a tiny twig and a blade of grass, its blazon an imposing, crowned Agamemnon, had already been lifted up, a group of ten ants waving it frantically above their heads. It seemed that the chief of the ants wanted to have a word with Nietzsche.

    The lion stopped and sat quietly on his rear legs, his appearance that of a statue. And indeed, in the eyes of the ants that is exactly what he looked like—a gigantic statue.

    ‘You’ve helped one of our comrades,’ Agamemnon addressed Nietzsche in a grave voice. ‘Can I be of any help to you?’

    ‘Yes, you can,’ said Nietzsche, his face very serious. ‘Tomorrow after dawn,
