An elite team of wildlife filmmakers returns to Botswana’s Okavango Delta to follow the dramatic lives of its lions, leopards and cheetahs. Following the cats day and night, the team reveals brand-new insights into their lives.
Each episode of this six-part series will be available to stream for 30 days on the PBS app starting September 10.
Episode 6 – Succession
A new generation of big cats rises in the Okavango Delta. First-time lion mum Serami protects her cubs while Mathata steps up to feed the pride. Pobe and Bo return, and as Lediba’s cub grows in confidence, she vanishes.
Episode 5 – New Beginnings
The core of the Xudum Pride has fled south, but a group of its young females surprises the team in the north. Meanwhile, tragedy strikes the cheetah mother, Pobe, and Lediba, the leopard, struggles to provide for her ever-growing cub.
Episode 4 – Reunion
Reunited, the Xudum Pride lionesses struggle to feed their young — one cub is starving. As male leopards are pushed closer together by rising floodwaters, leopard mom Lediba and cheetah mom Pobe each fight to keep their cubs alive.
Episode 3- A Pride Divided
Under attack from a growing number of intruder male lions, the mums with young cubs must find the rest of the pride. Leopard mum Lediba risks it all for a meal, and the cheetah cubs face danger during a vital lesson in survival.
Episode 2 – Under Siege
With the dominant males gone, trouble looms as intruder lions close in on the Xudum pride’s young cubs. Leopard Lediba searches for her missing cub after a tense encounter, while Pobe the cheetah must defend her family’s food from bigger cats.
