Beliefs
The color of a pelt holds little sway in how the pride feels about individuals. Rather, they value what is in an individual's heart. Will they help to nurture and grow the pride or will they bring fire and pain to the pride? Some of the noble families of the pride have certain colors because of the members who started the pride long ago. While they tend to favor certain colors, none are turned away. No member is seen as truly more important than another. Even the Chief must, at times, bow and listen to the guards for the good of the pride.
Nature is an intricate part of the Boabab pride, everything from the tree where they make their home to the creatures they kill in order to survive. Nature is to be respected and punishment is dealt out to any in the pride who disrespect nature. If the offense is bad enough or there have been too many offenses the offender will be exiled from the pride.
Those living in the pride make their dens in caves in hills in the surrounding area, while leopards tend to claim the branches of the tree for their own. Dens among the roots of the tree are reserved for expecting mothers, mothers and their cubs, the elders, and the ill and weak.
The Boabab pride take death as it comes. They bury their dead at the base of a young tree in the area. Many families have their own cemetery groves where they lay their clan or family members to rest to rejoin the earth and to be reborn as seeds to start life once more.
New life is celebrated by the entire pride. They have parties and celebrations to welcome the new cubs, warmly welcoming them and congratulating the parents. To the pride, each life is to be celebrated and welcomed in the pride. Every member of the tribe is expected to help the tribe prosper and grow. There are no nannies in the pride since everyone in the pride is around to help out with new cubs. Even the hunters get babysitting duty.
