History: (Kamandi #5, 6) - In the aftermath of the nuclear Great Disaster most of humanity perished, and the majority of survivors devolved into feral savages, while animals evolved intelligence. Flower and a herd of humans were imprisoned by the Gorilla-Men to serve as cattle. Kamandi, the last boy on Earth, freed them, and Flower instantly fell for him. She followed Kamandi, but they were both soon captured by the Tiger-Men. Kamandi averted a war between the tigers and gorillas, and the tiger leader Great Caesar told him he could ask for anything. He asked for a vehicle and the return of Flower, and together they drove off. Driving through the desert Kamandi and Flower encountered Lion-Men on motorcycles. The lions were rangers in charge of preserving the endangered human species from poachers. They worried Kamandi would kill himself driving a vehicle, so they subdued him and Flower, bringing them to Sanctuary, a wooded human preserve. The newcomers were attacked by their fellow humans, but Kamandi used his fighting skills to beat them off. Flower was proud of him, telling him that his dominant display now made him leader of the herd. Kamandi saw no honor in that, but Flower suggested he teach them to be more like him, and he liked that idea. Poachers of Puma-Men attacked,  and Kamandi fought them off, but they promised to return. Kamandi and Flower set themselves up in an abandoned house, and Flower slept soundly, saying she felt safe with her new brave friend. The pumas returned, catching them unaware, and shooting Flower when she fought back. The lions tracking the poachers made their move, arresting the pumas. Their leader Sultin commented that it was heartbreaking seeing the animal Kamandi mourn his lost companion.
