00:07 By September, the dry season took hold.
00:12 Three months since the last rains.
00:16 Life got tough for everyone.
00:24 The only water was miles away.
00:29 (gentle music)
00:32 Animals left the lion's territory by the herd.
00:37 The mother and aunts were forced
00:40 to spend more time out hunting.
00:42 More time away from the cubs.
00:46 Even the father had to abandon his line of defense
00:53 to help the hunt.
00:54 Too young to join them,
00:58 all the cubs could do was sit tight
01:01 and hope they return successful.
01:03 The desire to explore made this cub move on its own.
01:08 They say curiosity killed the cat,
01:16 but this time it saved his life.
01:26 By the time the mother and father returned,
01:29 it was too late.
01:31 Only his brother was still alive.
01:36 No point in chasing, the damage was done.
01:40 For one animal to thrive, others must die.
01:46 Days have passed with no food or drink,
01:50 but then a glimmer appears.
01:53 A baby cub has just been born.
01:56 (gentle music)
01:57 That night, a once in a lifetime chance comes their way.
02:01 A lost wildebeest might fill the entire pride's stomach.
02:07 The pride moves into position.
02:11 (cub grunting)
02:15 Everyone eats, even the littlest.
02:25 Abuse of fresh meat travels quickly.
02:27 When you're a successful subuti predator,
02:32 hyenas are your constant rivals.
02:34 Despite lions being bigger and stronger,
02:40 the hyenas have numbers.
02:42 They also have an unparalleled sense of smell.
02:48 The cubs were close to their pride,
02:52 but the newborn could not do so.
02:54 (cub crying)
02:57 This mother protected her meat
03:02 and her cubs with great courage.
03:04 But the whole pride paid a huge price for the victory here.
03:11 (birds chirping)
