FULI: Yeah shes pretty Nifty if I do say so myself.

ZAINABU: (Blushes a lil) Thanks.

ONO: I've heard of a White Tiger before but I've never seen one until now.

ANGA: Tell me about it.

ZAINABU: To be fair me an my cubs are the only White Tigers left.

KION: What happened to the rest?

ZAINABU: Lets just say a drought wiped most of out.

ANGA: How'd a drought wipe White Tigers out?

ONO: Hmmm, Nawaza, Nawaza, Nawaza (gasps) of course.

KION: What is it Ono?

ONO: It's pretty obvious really. When there's a drought nothin can survive. Wanna take it from here Zainabu?

BUNGA: What's a drought?

ZAINABU: Hang on I'm gettin there.

BUNGA: Okay.

KION: Tell us what you know.

ZAINABU: A drought is when you don't get any rain sn everythin dries up.

FULI: So it's like a dry season.

ZAINABU: Yeah kinda but not exactly.

FULI: Really?

ZAINABU: Yeah, The dry season usually lasts for a few months but a drought can last for a year or years. Durin a drought tempuratures can reach up to over 100 degrees an that can be a problem.

ONO: Exactly, things like trees water an grass can dry up an wildfires will have a higher percentage of startin up.

ZAINABU: Exactly, an when a wildfire starts up it can easily spread out an make it impossible to put out.

ONO: Exactly, Wildfires can burn acres of land very fast.

ZAINABU: Yeah, an when the land is burnt up an water is dried up it can cause aloda animals to die from starvation an thrist or move somewhere else. Preditors like me won't be able to eat so we end up dyin from thrist an starvation or hunters will come an kill us off.

ONO: Yeah.

ZAINABU: I was just lucky enough to survive through that drought.

FULI: Wow a drought sound very deadly.

ZAINABU: Oh trust me it is.
