Kuti

Whelped 18 July 2014.
Full name: Funmilayo Ransome Kuti

A tribute to Funmilayo Ransome Kuti (1900-1978), a teacher, political campaigner, women's rights activist and traditional aristocrat, described as the doyen of female rights activists in Nigeria. She advocated for the Nigerian woman's right to vote. In 1947, she was described as the "Lioness of Lisabi" for her leadership of the women of the Egba clan that she belonged to on a campaign against their arbitrary taxation, which led to the abdication of the then Egba high king. She was also the mother of Fela Anikulapo Kuti, a musician, Beko Ransome-Kuti, a doctor, and Prof. Olikoye Ransome-Kuti, a doctor and former health minister of Nigeria.

Kuti has a very distinctive coat that looks like dark chocolate at 7 days old. I'm curious to see how it'll evolve.
