New Beginnings

Greg is with some of the young Xudum pride lionesses, including new lion mum Serami and her two tiny cubs. Their rest is broken by elephants — who do not like to share any space with lions. The lionesses are no match for the elephants, which leaves the cubs exposed and in danger.

Leopard mother Lediba is out hunting after stashing her cub. As Brad follows her, Lediba appears to be using noise created by elephants to stalk something. It becomes clear that she’s after vervet monkeys. Scaling a tall cluster of trees, Lediba shows her incredible agility as she leaps from branch to branch.

The core of the Xudum Pride has fled south, but a group of its young females surprises the team in the north. Meanwhile, tragedy strikes the cheetah mother, Pobe, and Lediba, the leopard, struggles to provide for her ever-growing cub.
