00:00Previously, on Kingdom, there were devastating floods.
00:30Tento the hyena, together with her twin cubs, managed to survive, but now she has to re-establish
00:41her family's position.
00:44The lions, however, lost their cubs.
00:58Can their family recover?
01:04All the wild dogs, led by Storm, retreated from Nsefu.
01:12But now the lion pride has been seriously weakened.
01:18Can Storm manage to return?
01:24And Olimba the leopard has competition for her territory.
01:31From her own daughter.
01:39Only one can prevail.
01:46Mutima can either flee, or turn, and fight.
01:55Five years, four families.
02:17Who will rule this kingdom?
02:29Who will rule this kingdom?
02:45Who will rule this kingdom?
02:57Who will rule this kingdom?
03:03Who will rule this kingdom?
03:26Mutima is forced to concede.
03:30She must leave her mother's territory.
03:35The only home she's ever known.
03:49She will now start a new life as a solitary leopard.
03:56She will now start a new life.
04:03The top line of an island never goes to the sky in the sky.
04:08The top line of an island, the sky, the sky, the sky, the sky, the sky, the sky, the sun.
04:24In a secluded corner of Nsefu, almost hidden from sight...
04:33a den.
04:47Storm, the leader of the wild dogs, has been hiding here.
04:54And she's been busy.
05:02She has 11 new puppies.
05:10Storm's largest litter ever.
05:16To keep the pack fed, the adults must hunt twice a day.
05:23But one dog is struggling to keep up.
05:31This is Flint, Storm's oldest son.
05:39He has been injured in a poacher's trap.
05:44Unable to hunt for himself, Flint has rejoined his mother's pack.
05:52Even though he is the last to arrive at the kill,
06:03he won't go hungry.
06:04Wild dogs care for pack members who are weak or injured.
06:17And when it's time to head for home,
06:29they all go a little slower.
06:31And when they're going to get older,
06:33they're going to get slower.
06:34And when it's time to get older,
06:35they're going to get slower.
06:36MUSIC PLAYS
06:54Few animals have stronger bonds than wild dogs.
07:06Storm is waiting for the patch return.
07:13Her puppies are hungry.
07:19They're still too young to leave the safety of home.
07:25So the pack bring back food for them.
07:41Even Flint shares what he has.
07:46Old or injured wild dogs can still be valuable members of the pack.
08:00Flint's experience makes him acutely aware of dangers that might threaten the pups.
08:15And that is a great help to Storm as she tries to raise a litter as large as this.
08:22Tenta's hyena clan are slowly getting back together.
08:29Tenta's hyena clan are slowly getting back together.
08:42Tenta's hyena clan are slowly getting back together.
08:48Tenta's hyena clan are slowly getting back together.
09:01And at last, Tandala has found her way back to her family.
09:10But she has lost her only cub.
09:17Tenta's twins may offer some comfort.
09:29Play strengthens the clan's bonds.
09:48And it seems no one wants to miss out.
09:54But this isn't just fun and games.
10:15Amongst hyenas, clan unity brings power.
10:33Evening.
10:37As the light fades, Tenta leads her family in search of food.
10:53The lionesses have made a kill.
11:03It could feed many hungry hyenas.
11:10But there are not enough of the clan here to challenge the lions.
11:27So Tenta calls for reinforcements.
11:33Her whooping calls are amplified by the ground.
11:48They can be heard from far and wide.
11:53The other members of the clan respond immediately.
11:57Let's go and find RBIrick and visit them together.
12:21With these numbers, the hyenas are now more powerful
12:50than the lions.
13:20The
13:49strength of the reunited hyena clan could have consequences throughout Nsefu.
14:19After losing the fight with her mother, Mutima the leopard is searching for a territory
14:34of her own.
14:49But almost immediately, she runs into danger.
14:56Mutima is no match for Storm's pack.
15:03It's no match for Storm's pack.
15:10Mutima is now on unfamiliar ground.
15:17Mutima is now on unfamiliar ground.
15:24Mutima is now on unfamiliar ground.
15:39Mutima is now on unfamiliar ground.
15:46What is more, this is the territory of leopards she doesn't know.
15:53And this female has her own problems.
16:00What is more, this is the territory of leopards she doesn't know.
16:17And this female has her own problems.
16:38Mutima is now on.
16:39Mutima is now on.
16:45Mutima is now on.
16:52There are no signs of leopards here.
16:58Perhaps this is a place where she could settle.
17:14But wherever she tries, other animals have got there first.
17:30Baboons don't tolerate predators of any kind in their trees.
17:35Mutima is now on.
17:54But it's my place.
18:00I'm very happy.
18:03No!
18:33A leopard can take only so much harassment.
19:03She must keep searching.
19:33A leopard can take over the top of her,
19:40which is a very difficult time.
19:43A leopard can be the same.
19:48A leopard can be the same.
19:53A leopard can be the same.
19:57A leopard can be the same.
20:01Wild dogs live in families which have their own affectionate rituals.
20:13Every day, as soon as they wake, storms pack get together
20:23and reaffirm their kinship.
20:31Everyone joins in, old and young.
20:40.
20:57The puppies are not yet big enough to join in an actual hunt.
21:03So, Storm and Flint stay behind to watch over them.
21:19Babysitting is a job Flint manages to do lying down.
21:24The pups, meanwhile, practice the skills needed for a wild dog's life.
21:37Courtesy of the local vultures.
21:40Stealth.
21:50Persistence.
21:56Persistence.
22:01And working together.
22:16As a team.
22:17Teamwork is particularly important when it comes to hunting for food.
22:31A kill.
22:32But, unfortunately, a hyena.
22:42And a big male leopard.
22:44Have also spotted it.
22:49With so many pups to feed, the dogs won't abandon this opportunity.
22:55Ahhhhh!
23:12Ahhhhhhh!
23:13I'm not going to die.
23:43Now the dogs must take on the leopard.
24:13Success!
24:43But other hyenas have discovered Storm's den.
25:04Flint stands guard while Storm tries to lead the pucks away.
25:13Flint has a little chance alone.
25:22But the pack are back.
25:41Together they manage to drive off the hyenas.
25:53The wild dogs have shown their strength is back.
26:42The power has been slipping away.
26:49The lionesses have no cubs and they've been beaten by their rivals.
26:55And they have no males to protect them.
27:08But there are two new males in Nsefu.
27:13The lionesses have no more than the sea.
27:23The lionesses have no more than the dragon.
27:29Male lions are often hostile and aggressive.
27:53But their power is just what the lionesses need.
27:59So, they attempt to recruit the males as allies and potential mates by flirting with them.
28:15And gradually...
28:22And gradually, day by day, they become regular companions.
28:52The lionesses now have two strong protectors, and with them there is a chance their fortunes
29:04may change.
29:20In the centre of Nsefu, the streams and gullies have run dry and are now an excellent site
29:30for an ambush, not for a baboon, but for Olimba.
29:54After pushing her daughter away, she once again has this territory to herself.
30:03Normally, she makes a meal out of any trespasses.
30:08But she's not quite as fast as she used to be.
30:33And perhaps she doesn't command the respect she once did.
30:40Even hammer cops don't leave her in peace.
31:33Life is getting hard for Olimba.
31:40But she's not quite the same thing.
31:43If she doesn't come, she's going to kill her.
31:49But she's not too late.
31:51But she's not too late.
31:52But she's not too late.
31:53She's not too late.
31:55But she doesn't have to be dangerous.
31:58¶¶
32:28She's now nearly 13.
32:34And that's old for a leopard.
32:42Although she mated several months ago, she's not yet produced any cubs.
32:54Mutima will probably be her last.
32:58She is on the far side of Nsefru, many miles from her mother.
33:13At last, she has found a potential territory.
33:22But she doesn't yet know whether it can provide enough food for her.
33:27She's not yet.
33:28She's not yet.
33:29She's not yet.
33:30She's not yet.
33:32She's not yet.
33:33She's not yet.
33:34She's not yet.
33:36She's not yet.
33:38She's only used to live with her.
34:11A troop of baboons.
34:32They have got the better of her before.
34:41But now, at night, Mutima has an advantage.
34:49Her eyes are extremely sensitive and can detect even the tiniest glimmer of light.
34:56The baboons can't see her coming.
35:03But as she gets closer, they can hear her.
35:11Oh, my God.
35:41Some of the baboons stay out of reach by clinging to the far ends of the smallest branches.
35:50On the sturdier limbs, Mutima can move with extraordinary speed.
36:03Get out of reach.
36:06Ah!
36:10Ah!
36:14Ah!
36:15This place can certainly provide food.
36:42But there is a problem.
37:01Another leopard is already here.
37:12By climbing higher, Mutima finds a position where she can defend herself.
37:31But she is not welcome here.
37:38The rival has made that very clear indeed.
37:45Mutima is left licking her wounds.
37:52The rival female has a young cub.
38:11That is why she is protecting this place so fiercely.
38:18Mutima cannot stay here.
38:43So where can she find a home?
38:55Where can she find a home?
39:14And Sefu's last remaining pools attract animals from all around.
39:21This water hole...
39:49...is already taken.
39:56And the hippo is not willing to share.
39:58The dogs must find somewhere else to drink.
40:19But they need to be careful.
40:32They need to be careful.
40:39They need to be careful.
40:40It's Flint.
41:00It's Flint.
41:30In spite of the danger, Storm and Flint's brother risk trying to pull him to safety.
41:43But the crocodile's grip is unbreakable.
42:13Flint's only chance is that the water may be too shallow for the crocodile to drag him under.
42:43Astonishingly, Flint finds the strength to escape.
42:56And his brother continues to protect him.
43:08But Flint has been gravely injured.
43:29He wants to escape from the camp.
43:58The family don't leave Flint's side.
44:10Until he has taken his final breath.
44:28The family don't leave.
44:34The family don't leave.
44:39The family don't leave.
44:44On the left, the family will be saved.
44:52No.
44:58The rains return.
45:12And a new chapter begins for all four families.
45:28At the very edge of Nsefu, far away from their rivals,
45:42a litter of tiny cubs has been born.
45:58Ow!
46:28They're just a few days old.
46:58And they are only one part of a baby boom in the lion pride.
47:12Five of the lionesses have produced cubs.
47:21These youngsters have the protection of the whole family.
47:28The Lionesses have the protection of the lioness.
47:31They have the protection of the lioness.
47:43The lioness, for the first time in the world,
47:48they have the protection of the lioness.
47:53The lioness,
47:57for the first time in years,
47:59seem likely to regain their full strength.
48:05And this will surely bring change throughout Nseful.
48:22But even these most powerful creatures...
48:27will have to cope with dangers that are beyond their control.
