00:03We've picked up the rogue boys intruding to the max.
00:10Oh my gosh, they are making a racket.
00:14We're right in the center of the Kudum Pride territory,
00:17and I can't exaggerate that enough.
00:21Four intruding male lions,
00:24the rogue boys are advancing towards the Kudum Pride.
00:29This is the greatest threat so far.
00:32These boys could very easily kill all the cubs.
00:42The Okavango Delta in Botswana.
00:45We are in a pristine environment right now.
00:48One of Africa's last wildernesses.
00:51The magnitude of life here is unparalleled.
00:54And it's a haven for Africa's big cats.
00:59Lion, cheetah and leopard.
01:04Big cat country.
01:07Armed with the latest filming technology,
01:10the Big Cats 2417 is following individual big cats for six months.
01:17This is a unique opportunity to follow these cats round the clock.
01:22Through the day.
01:24I used to think I'd have a fair fight with a lion.
01:28Not so sure now.
01:30And the night.
01:31We've got the most sophisticated thermal imaging technologies.
01:37Capturing their behavior 24 hours a day.
01:41I have never seen anything like this.
01:45Output!
01:56Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead.
01:59The intruder males are roaring and causing so much raucous and just full on drama.
02:07The rogue boys are asserting their presence in the Kudum Pride territory.
02:13OK, we've just been looking for the cubs.
02:16Gordon is searching for the pride's most vulnerable members.
02:20It's young cubs.
02:23We've got some lions up ahead.
02:26The rogue boys' roars travel five miles.
02:30When they hear these rogue males and intruder males calling,
02:34there's concern, there's threat and there's danger.
02:37The females with cubs, they are moving out of the core part of the territory.
02:42This is the furthest south that I've seen them.
02:48It's unusual at this time of day for any lion to be wandering around.
02:57Separating from the rest of the pride and keeping so many cubs on the move is dangerous.
03:06It stopped.
03:08But these mums with young cubs have no choice.
03:13At a good position, they're up on this termite mound here.
03:17Probably you can see about two kilometres in that direction,
03:20one in that direction, another kilometre in that direction.
03:23So anything that is coming through this area,
03:26what they're going to see.
03:30You're just doing a little count.
03:34And we've got nine, nine cubs.
03:41I first saw these cubs when they were a week to ten days old.
03:46They were tiny little bundles of fur.
03:50A guinea pig size maybe, very fluffy.
03:53Their eyes hadn't even opened.
03:57And now they've got a lot more life about them.
04:03These eight-month-old cubs belong to just three Cudum Pride mothers.
04:10Naledi, Sebe and Matto.
04:17They are all hanging out together because they've all got cubs of the same ages.
04:22My respect goes to these females because they're doing all the hard work,
04:27keeping these cubs alive.
04:29While Bigto and Madumo, the heads of the Cudum Pride,
04:34they are the dominant males.
04:37They are nowhere to be seen.
04:40It's been a week since I've seen Madumo.
04:43And for Bigto, that's three weeks since anyone has seen them.
04:50So when it comes to invading males like the Rogue Boys,
04:53the burden of protecting the cubs
04:56just lands on the shoulders of the females.
05:01Right.
05:02They're on the move.
05:06The best thing we can do is just stick with them.
05:12Water levels are now at their lowest in this 150 square miles of the Okavango Delta.
05:23The annual flood will soon arrive,
05:27making it harder for Matto, Naledi, Sebe and their cubs to move freely.
05:36Every single one of them walking in the same direction.
05:41They must put distance between themselves and the Rogue Boys,
05:46who are just three miles to their north,
05:49while they still can.
05:52Greg, Greg for Gordon.
05:54Go ahead.
05:55All those cubs are still alive and well.
05:58That is amazing.
06:00We're going to stick with the Rogue Boys.
06:10Setz is joining Greg to keep track of the Rogue Boys.
06:15Oh my goodness, they are on a buffalo kill.
06:18Three sub-adults.
06:19And the big male is right here in front of me.
06:24Oh my gosh.
06:27Really interesting update.
06:30They've killed the buffalo in the center of the Kodum Lion territory.
06:37It means they are willing to challenge Begtone, Mudumo, our dominant males.
06:43They really shouldn't be this brazen to have the nerve to make a large kill.
06:50They really seem to be making themselves at home.
06:55The Rogue Boys are staking a claim to Kodum Pride territory.
07:00And everything in it.
07:06Dude, what is going on?
07:07I have no idea.
07:08This is truly insane.
07:10They're not even trying to hide.
07:11No, they're not.
07:13They're made a kill to prove a point.
07:16Yeah.
07:17They're a very interesting coalition of one huge male with three sub-adults.
07:25Adult male lions form coalitions.
07:29Lifetime partnerships for protection and strength.
07:34Typically you don't find coalitions like this.
07:39With vastly different age in the same coalition.
07:42I wonder if it's a father and sons potentially.
07:47They've got a huge coalition leader.
07:50He's in his prime.
07:53We decided to call him Demo.
07:55Demo just means a giant.
07:58He is probably the biggest male lion I've ever seen.
08:03Looks scary as.
08:09This coalition looks like it's been fighting quite a lot.
08:13Can take example of this youngster here.
08:16He has a lot of battle scars on his face.
08:21With no pride of their own.
08:23The rogue boys are looking for one to take over.
08:28These rogue boys.
08:29They're going to want to mate with the females.
08:32And that'll mean killing cubs.
08:34They want those mothers to come back into Easter so that they can have their own cubs.
08:41And no one is defending this territory.
08:45It's crazy, eh?
08:46It's going to be really hard to fight off these rogue boys.
08:51X Groves!
09:00Tristan, Tristan!
09:02Yeah, Brad.
09:07Leopard specialists Brad and Tristan have found new mum Lediva.
09:28Just too cute.
09:31The Deepa has two cubs, three and a half months old.
09:37Really quite sweet.
09:40They've got this whole nursery area that the mother's put them into and she'll walk
09:46in and call and then they'll reveal themselves to her.
09:51La Deepa's cubs are too young to go with her when she hunts, so the nursery keeps them
09:57hidden.
09:59It's the perfect nursery here, it's thick, thick sage, there's a lot of places these
10:06cubs can learn, play and run around, there's nowhere really better suited to a leopard
10:15raising her cubs than an area quite like this.
10:23I love that interaction between a mum and a cub.
10:28Something so gentle and beautiful about it.
10:33The Deepa is suckling this one cub.
10:36It's a pretty little thing.
10:40It's a busy time for a mum, two cubs that are highly mobile and needing to be fed.
10:46She'll have a good session of feeding and then she'll do her long hunting forays.
10:54The Deepa must hunt every two to three days, travelling miles from the nursery.
11:02She can't be there all the time.
11:05Leopard cubs have very high mortality rates.
11:08They don't have somebody else to look after them.
11:14This is one of the most vulnerable times in a leopard cub's life.
11:27Sun's just stepping behind the tree line and the Deepa's now on the move.
11:36She's heading off on another hunt.
11:43As Brad follows La Deepa away from the nursery, she hides in some bushes.
11:51There's a male sitting here on the road.
11:57Tris Trisp is a male right in the heart of La Deepa's territory.
12:01He's a big boy.
12:02Okay, copy that.
12:03Yeah, that's not great news.
12:05He's picking up herself.
12:07He's definitely interested.
12:14Male leopards are notorious for killing cubs.
12:20We were just so happy with her having cubs in this area because there's very little male traffic through here.
12:29And just when you say that, a big male rocks up.
12:53They growling.
13:01He can see the way his tail is twitching.
13:05He's definitely on her scent.
13:07I just hope that she doesn't lead him back to where she's keeping those cubs.
13:20He's letting the Deepa know that he's here.
13:29We're going to sleep easy tonight.
13:43The lion mums are still moving their young cubs south.
13:49To their north, the intruding rogue boys have left their buffalo carcass unguarded.
14:04Oh, this is ballsy.
14:08Some other members of the Kudum Pride have found it.
14:13These two boys are enjoying a free meal.
14:17It's the Pride's two sub-adult males.
14:22This is really bold of him.
14:26The rogue boys, they are heading to have a drink at a nearby waterhole, not far from here, about 500
14:33metres.
14:36He's quite nervous looking around because he knows when those males come back it is not going to be pretty.
14:46These two youngsters might look almost fully grown.
14:51This I'm guaranteeing.
14:58That's Demo.
15:00But the rogue boy's leader, Demo, is almost twice their weight.
15:08The big boy, he's about 50 metres behind me.
15:12He's advancing.
15:24You can see how massive he is.
15:27He is showing signs of aggression.
15:30His body posture.
15:36Oh, he's chasing.
15:37He's chasing.
15:39Ah, the lions have run off.
15:43They ran like hell out of there.
15:45Hopefully they're safe.
15:48Demo.
15:59Demo is victorious.
16:01He is going to feel a sense of pride and accomplishments.
16:06Two sub-adults are no match for Demo.
16:11the absence of big toe and madumo is leaving the pride defenseless it just
16:23shows how bold he is it's a clear challenge
16:34demo and the rogue boys are now taking more ground moving south towards the mums and young cubs
16:46just begs the question where i'm determined when all of this is happening
17:00so
17:12cheetah team cheetah team got bobby and the cubs
17:17excellent i will be there asap
17:39it's pretty cool to watch these guys i mean when we're following them every single day
17:44you literally see their development it's like having your own baby going from crawling to
17:50walking it's a feel of accomplishment watching your little children grow up
17:55the cubs now ray and anna know the cubs they've named them kia and bo
18:05only a few weeks ago they were reliant on their mum's milk but now they are full-blown carnivores
18:19cubs are looking pretty hungry they've uh their bellies are concave kia and bo must now eat at least
18:27half a kilo of meat today
18:33cubs are really far in the distance
18:38this could be a moment for bobby to get a successful hunt in
18:41without her cubs distracting her
19:08she went she went she went she went for them they should be coming out to your side
19:30she's done it well done bobby what an absolute genius
19:38guys she's got one she's got one she's got one my hands are shaking everything is shaking
19:46but it was incredible and you know she's done that for her cubs and i can see them coming in
19:59this is going to be an absolute feast for these two
20:05what kia and bo need is for mummy to open up this carcass so they can have a meal
20:11the cub's teeth won't be sharp enough to tear through skin for another two months
20:19bobby needs to catch her breath a little bit
20:22but cheetahs need to cool down before they can eat
20:29cheetah's main tactic for hunting is a full-on sprint
20:34sometimes being able to go up over 100 kilometers per hour
20:38very hard for cheetahs they are not really able to sweat properly you can see her right now she's having
20:42a
20:43very heavy pant that's just to help with cooling
20:53this is a really dangerous time for a cheetah because there was quite a lot of commotion when
20:59that all went down a lot of alarm calls what pobre really doesn't want now is
21:05the vote is coming in in huge numbers they are like a beacon in the sky to other predators
21:11it's like dropping a pin here's your food packets just below
21:20cheetahs lose one in ten of their meals to other predators
21:25pretty much every single predator can chase our lovely cheetahs off this kill
21:32sadly for them amongst all our big cats they are the underdogs being such a small cat like a cheetah
21:39you really are down the pecking order
21:43the challenge for pobe now is keeping hold of their meal
21:49best case scenario really is that pobe and kia and bo get through this kill as fast as possible
22:08you girls we have run into the mums and cubs greg has found the pride's mums and young cubs
22:18that's naledi sebe and mato with their crew of cubs at the southern limit of kudum pride territory
22:29the lionesses are all very much on edge about male lions and there's just you know anxiety and
22:35stress and built up tension
22:37the lionesses are all very much on edge of the lionesses are all very much on edge of the lion
22:44hold on i think we have another lion there
22:51oh it's big male
22:56who is this
22:59here comes mato
23:04my door is approaching as if this could be one of the intruders
23:15oh she's upset
23:17oh wait a minute i think that this is maduma
23:32they don't seem to recognize each other very well
23:35maybe because he has been mia for a while
23:46i'm so pleased to see maduma back looking strong and healthy
23:51at a time when we've had so much upheaval from the rogue boys
23:59mato looked so angry she was ready for battle
24:05she was just assuming that every male that approaches her is about to go after her cubs
24:10that was amazing just aggression from her even maduma has to approach with caution
24:19now that the mums including mato have calmed down everyone's approaching maduma
24:30oh it's a snuggle with dad the cubs are so excited that's so sweet
24:40that's so sweet
24:40go then go then for good hey greg go
24:43maduma is back in town wow
24:49okay see you as soon as i can
24:59where have you been last time i saw him he was severely skinny look at him
25:06he's put on a lot more weight
25:12one question i always have whenever i see
25:15maduma on his own is is with his big toe
25:20lately maduma has been seen with the pride from time to time
25:25but his coalition partner big toe has now been missing for almost a month
25:32since we've been following the pride i've never had it that the big boys have been separated for so long
25:40they were practically inseparable last year
25:45they ate together they walked together they patrolled together they were joined at the hip
25:51the power that madumo has is the power that comes from being in this this partnership
26:01alone madumo is no match for the four advancing rogue boys
26:08no matter how determined and how strong and how big he is he's not going to win against multiple lines
26:15so until we find big toe
26:19it's still a very precarious moment for the pride
26:32philip
26:33brother for the first three
26:36the diva's cubs disappeared
26:40Tristan and Brad are checking in on Ladiba.
26:45What I hope is it's not the male she bumped into.
26:49After finding a male leopard close to her nursery.
26:54Ladiba's back in the nursery area.
26:57One cub's showed up.
26:59Looks like mum might be trying to pick up the second one now.
27:03And she seems to be getting a little bit concerned.
27:20She's calling, searching, broadcasting her presence.
27:34The male cub is missing.
27:44I've never seen this amount of vocalisation coming from a single leopard in such a short
27:51space of time.
28:01She's just desperate for a response.
28:04And she's just not getting it.
28:12She's soaring.
28:21This call, known as sawing, is unique to each individual leopard, and can travel nearly
28:29two miles.
28:32The fact that she's trying this hard really starts to scare me, to be honest.
28:38It's not a good sign.
28:44The longer it's missing, the lower its chances drop.
28:53Less than 50% actually survive.
28:56Because they do get left alone, they do have to fend for themselves.
29:03Now she's high up, she's increasing her, the throw of her core.
29:08She's throwing caution to the wind now.
29:11She may draw other predators in.
29:13And I think what we're seeing is a very desperate mother.
29:29It's looking more and more likely that we've lost a cabaret.
29:55Life for all the big cats of the Okavango Delta is about to change.
30:07The annual flood has arrived.
30:11We're expecting it to be here within the next week, but it's here now.
30:16This is now.
30:19Oh yeah, look at that.
30:27This is beautiful.
30:32This is the first time seeing the flood come in, in real time.
30:39This is exciting.
30:40I'm so excited.
30:49Gordon, Gordon, do you copy?
30:51Yeah, go set.
30:53Hey, Gordon.
30:54I have something amazing to show you.
31:07The waters of the Okavango have come a long way, close to 600 kilometres from the highlands of Angola through
31:19three countries, finally ending up in Botswana.
31:24It goes from a dry flood plain to a flowing river, nothing a matter of a house.
31:32To create a spectacle that's beyond words.
31:40Whoa, whoa, whoa.
31:46I don't need to ask what you've got to show me.
31:48Oh yeah, you can see it already.
31:50The speed.
31:52Listen, I was here yesterday, it was just bone dry.
31:54Yeah, it was completely dry.
31:56Yeah, it's really going to affect the lions.
31:59It really is.
32:01And the territory is going to shrink.
32:02These waters, they are dangerous for them.
32:05Yeah.
32:06For the mums and smaller cubs, they'll be restricted.
32:11They can't really move around as freely as they used to before the flood has arrived.
32:16Hmm.
32:16There's less dry ground.
32:18Yeah.
32:23The rising flood waters mean the mums and cubs are running out of safe space.
32:31And the rogue boys are now just a mile away.
32:36I don't know if anyone else heard that, but I heard some roaring.
32:40It's demon.
32:41This is a sign that these boys mean business.
32:49The mums and cubs can't rest.
32:55On a still night like this,
32:58demons roar will carry throughout this whole territory.
33:02What he's saying is,
33:04be afraid, be very afraid.
33:19This is when it all starts to get a little bit scary for cheaters, especially when they're on a fresh
33:25kill.
33:28Anna is with Pobbe and her cubs.
33:33They still have the kill.
33:35Nothing's coming to take it.
33:37I think that could be something to do with her smart tactics, which involve basically covering the carcass with dust.
33:46She's trying to cover the scent.
33:48Because when it turns to night, things start to get a little bit dangerous around here.
33:56At this vital growth stage,
33:59It's essential that the cubs eat as much as possible.
34:27It's important to hear that the cubs are...
34:29It's important to keep it in the way.
34:32out of there. This is quite creepy.
34:45Ooh, jackal. The cubs are essentially learning how to guard their food against animals. And
34:54level one is the lovely jackal. Jackal doesn't really pose much of a threat for these cubs.
35:19Running, running, running.
35:37I am super chuffed that Bobby and the cubs have managed to keep hold of this meal. Looks
35:46like they've got pretty full bellies. But it's when the big things come in, like lions
35:51and leopards, that's when it's going to get really real for these cubs.
36:15The flood is making it harder for the mums with young cubs to escape. We're going to head
36:17through the bush for a long, long way.
36:21The flood is making it harder for the mums with young cubs to escape.
36:30I think quite like crashing through a floodplain.
36:34To stop the advancing rogue boys, the pride needs both of its dominant males.
36:42Loads of vultures here. What's going on?
36:44So Greg is searching for big toe.
36:51We've looked in all the regular spots for big toe and come up completely short. So we're
36:57starting to get a little bit desperate and we're going to look in areas that we would never
37:02normally go.
37:21I think we've got big toe tracks.
37:24Yes! Finally!
37:33He must be not far from here. Let's go and find him.
37:48Somebody's up ahead of us.
37:51This is a big male lion just in front of me.
37:57Who is this?
38:02Oh, gosh.
38:06Please, please, please, please, please, please.
38:14Come on! It's big toe! Yes!
38:19Finally! What?
38:28The mighty big toe, he's back in the game.
38:36This is an area where I've, in fact, never seen any of the kudum pride before. And it begs the
38:43question, you know, where has big toe been this whole time that he's been missing?
38:53He's had some food recently.
38:56He's looking healthy. He's looking strong.
38:58Not even a scratch on him, so he hasn't gotten anywhere near any of the intruders.
39:04But he's definitely on some sort of mission here.
39:10Looks like he's about across the water.
39:14I haven't seen him for weeks, and it seems like I'm only going to have him for a few minutes.
39:26Come on, big toe, don't do this to me now. Please.
39:33I'm just not sure how I'm going to follow him. Because I don't want to get stuck.
39:41All right, we're going to have to do a big water crossing here. All in the name of following the
39:48mighty big toe.
39:51I'm going to have to get my feet wet. Oh, that's not ideal.
40:08It's flowing.
40:13Not too bad.
40:15We're through.
40:17This is wild.
40:18Trying to keep up with big toe through the fresh flood.
40:22This is not for the faint hearted.
40:31He's just picked up a scent and is following it very intently.
40:37He's sniffing, sniffing, sniffing. He's trying to find another lion.
40:52Oh, okay. We've just got visual of other lions now.
41:01Who are these lions?
41:03What's going on here?
41:07It's very, very strange.
41:18I can't believe this. This is not the Kudam pride.
41:26This is a whole different pride.
41:28It appears the big toe has another pride.
41:34Well, that was unexpected.
41:38At a time when the Kudam pride, you know, needs them the most.
41:43That is a problem.
41:46That is a big problem.
41:50Gordon, Gordon for Greg.
41:53Go, Greg.
41:53Gordon, you are not going to believe this, but I finally found big toe.
41:58He's busy fooling around with other lionesses.
42:01You are kidding me.
42:03Not good.
42:04Not good at all.
42:13Wait a minute.
42:16Looks like there's actually another male here as well.
42:21No, no.
42:23This is, in fact, Maduma.
42:33That is unbelievable.
42:39The dominant males have been dividing their time between the Kudam pride and this new pride.
42:48What's happening is our big males are mating with other lions and that's why we don't see them very often.
42:58While Maduma has been coming and going, big toe has been here.
43:06What's potentially at play here is the fact that amongst the Kudam pride lionesses, all the older lionesses have cubs
43:13at the moment.
43:14And there's a fair chance that all the younger lionesses are related to Maduma and big toe.
43:20In fact, they could be their daughters.
43:22So the mating opportunities within the pride are limited.
43:27That might explain why the boys have gone outside to look for the chance of siring more cubs.
43:37The problem is if they're paying so much attention to other lionesses, they're neglecting the Kudam pride.
43:43And that's why we've had so much drama and chaos.
43:48And that is going to be a very serious risk to those cubs.
43:58The Kudam pride mums have been left to defend their cubs alone from the advancing rogue boys.
44:27Ledeba the leopard has been searching for her missing cub for almost two days.
44:40Well, she's led us back to one cub.
44:58She is entirely, that one's wild.
45:23Just one.
45:26I think she's moving it to a new space.
45:32Yeah, no.
45:33Darn a cub.
45:39What the result I was hoping for.
45:47I just hope now with all her attention focused on a single individual, that cub stands a better chance of
45:54staying alive.
45:57It's still a miracle in itself that she has one healthy, surviving and thriving really.
46:04And it's a testament to her abilities as a mother.
46:09Ladiba's surviving cub will soon pass this most vulnerable age and leave the nursery with her when she hunts.
46:26We're going to do our best to follow and watch how her and her cub develop.
46:32She's a proven mother and more than ready for the challenge.
46:47We hit her.
46:48Wow.
46:50I don't think she's going to go.
47:08Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
47:19Yep, she's done it again.
47:22Pobbe, Pobbe, Pobbe.
47:26These two cubs are insanely lucky that they've got Pobbe as their mum.
47:35Cheetah mom Pobbe has secured her cubs another meal.
47:43As long as she can keep it through another night.
48:01I am really, really chuffed for Pobbe and the cubs.
48:05She's doing an incredible job at feeding them.
48:12What is that?
48:13Wait a second.
48:15What has she seen?
48:21Pobbe looks like she's getting into like a weird stalk bird.
48:25She's seen something.
48:32There is something.
48:37One thing sat about 100 metres from that.
48:43That is big.
48:48Oh, God, I think that's a leopard. That is a male leopard.
48:59It's running in. It's running in.
49:20I think she's trying to lure this leopard away from the cubs.
49:24This feels like a mad move from Pobbe.
49:30This male leopard is one and a half times Pobbe's weight.
49:35If he catches her, he could easily kill her.
49:47She just jumped at it. She just jumped on the floor to try and make a sound to lure it
49:53away.
49:54She's so, so clever.
49:59Pobbe's night vision is not as good as a leopard's.
50:06But she has one clear advantage.
50:10Pobbe is not at her max effort in terms of speed, but that leopard is really struggling to keep up
50:16with her.
50:16This is crazy.
50:17.ha
50:50Pobe has diverted the leopard's attention from the cubs.
50:57OK, this leopard is going to the kill.
51:00But not from her meal.
51:06Couldn't catch anything yourself?
51:08You're stealing from a mum and two kids.
51:14He's almost tripping on it as he drags it.
51:18I mean, that is the image of greed right there, tripping on his food.
51:25Off he goes.
51:33That's so annoying.
51:37That must have been terrifying for those cubs.
51:42But what we've seen tonight, Pobe is capable of essentially fighting off a male leopard to protect her cubs.
51:54These are the lengths that a mother cheetah will go to.
52:00What an incredible cat she is.
52:18OK, up ahead we have a cluster of lions.
52:27Gordon is also on the night shift.
52:30We can put the drone up.
52:32Hopefully spot it from the air.
52:35The rogue boys are closing in on the Cudum Pride mums and cubs.
52:43Madumo and Big Toe, they're out of the equation, hanging out with a second pride.
52:50And at some point, these rogue boys, they are going to push towards these cubs.
52:56And that could be tonight.
53:00So wherever Demo goes, I'm just going to keep up with him as best I can.
53:10He's on the trail.
53:13The rogue boys are now close enough to be picking up the female's scent.
53:20Now things are serious.
53:23Demo is making his presence known in sound and in scent.
53:38Yeah, he's belting it out with all his might.
53:50Whoa.
53:54A roar like that just gets you in the belly.
54:02Things are going to escalate.
54:13They're running.
54:16Oi, oi, oi.
54:18I don't want to lose them.
54:22Where have we gone, pals?
54:25Demo just ran off into this forest.
54:31So at the moment, I've lost them.
54:37The rogue boys have vanished.
54:39Just 500 meters from the mums and young cubs.
54:45I think they've disappeared into the forest.
54:50This is really bad.
55:11It's so close to that.
55:11Isn't that close to that?
55:13It all belongs to the enemy.
55:20If you want to lose the tigers.
55:21It is a little cramp.
55:22It's not close to that.
55:23Anna has found the mums and young cubs okay we're all safe I can't believe it
55:32what incredible mums
55:44okay it's coming to say hi
55:50morning Saba hi gorgeous girl well beautiful well done for keeping your club safe

56:46the rogue boys are heading straight towards mums and cubs and this is exactly what we don't want to
56:53happen this is really really dangerous
56:58they're trying to pick up scent you can see them right now with their noses their mouth and then
57:05they put their head up and go
57:10there's absolutely no chance that these lionesses with this amount of cubs are going to be able to
57:17outrun the rogue boys there's no way
