00:02A lepidess, on the plains of East Africa, will invest up to two years on each of her cubs.
00:13This young female is eight months old.
00:17The aim will be for her to have rudimentary hunting skills by her first birthday.
00:23For the early months of life, she was left hidden.
00:26But now, she walks with mum.
00:30This is field training.
00:39It's dangerous out in the bush for an inexperienced young cat.
00:43So mother doesn't want to take her right to the front line.
00:47But perhaps close enough to watch.
00:55Throughout her territory, she knows the best nooks and crannies, that can provide safety to her cub, should things go
01:03wrong.
01:10In this case, an old warthog burrow.
01:17In eager anticipation, the cub watches as mum slinks into the bush.
01:30Stalking can take hours.
01:33The biggest skill ambush predators must master is patience.
01:37That's not even if she's dead.
01:40Nooks.
01:56She is poor.
01:57But her mãs were often yet siblings.
01:57The best in her days.
01:57As the nevertheless, my annealer is not only because she can't be seen as a sum, but she is not
01:57until she is back and was so close to me.
01:57There are many people who are still here.
01:57The fifth place is when, you know, she is to help you.
02:02There's a bad place to walk.
02:07While waiting, the little one seems keen to try out some of the moves.
02:22But it's hard to keep her eyes on Mother.
02:24To find food, she's had to creep further into the dense bush.
