Reunion

The number of male leopards moving through Lediba’s territory is a concern for her cub's safety, and right on cue, dominant male Bongwe appears. Lediba meets him head-on, standing her ground and is closely followed by her cub. But Bongwe doesn’t react — he must be the cub’s father.

Sets is called in to follow Pobe and her cubs and witnesses the cheetah bring down an impala in spectacular fashion. But she lets the impala go. It’s a test for her cubs — she is allowing them to put into practice what they have witnessed their mother do on many occasions.

Reunited, the Xudum Pride lionesses struggle to feed their young — one cub is starving. As male leopards are pushed closer together by rising floodwaters, leopard mum Lediba and cheetah mum Pobe each fight to keep their cubs alive.
