Landlords | Big Cats, Small World

Lion, leopard and cheetah parents attempt to co-exist and raise their cubs on the shores of Botswana’s Gomoti River. Narrated by David Oyelowo.

This mother cheetah's name Phefo means 'wind,' and you'll know why when you see her run. In seconds, she can go from zero to one of the fastest creatures on land.

The lionesses synchronized their pregnancies, which may have seemed like a good idea at the time. But now they are swamped with a dozen demanding cubs.

One female leopard seeks an uninterested mate, while another navigates the challenges of pregnancy.

John Neelo, a researcher with Botswana Predator Conservation, explores the challenges Africa's big cats and top predators face in shared landscapes, highlighting the urgent need for conservation to sustain balanced ecosystems.
