Episode Four

The Xudum Pride finds itself in a tough spot when it gets stuck between a large herd of buffalo and a river channel. Lions may eat buffalo, but a herd of this size has the upper hand. When a bull charges, the lions flee into the water. Panic drives the cubs into deeper water, and the risk of attracting crocodiles increases. Even dominant male, Big Toe, is in jeopardy.

A male leopard moves onto the floodplain, heading straight toward Xudum. This poses a great risk to the female leopard, who is close to giving birth to cubs. But Metsi isn’t on Xudum’s trail. Instead, he’s picked up the scent of a young lechwe lamb – and his hunting style takes everyone by surprise.
