A revolutionary thermal camera reveals the secret world of nocturnal predators. Follow along as one of the oldest-known leopards struggles to survive her fearsome neighbours: a pride of scavenging lions.
A wise, old leopard reigns over the Luangwa Valley in Zambia. She holds her own against lions, but is about to face her most serious challenge-the arrival of a younger, nomadic female leopard. Witness the bitter battle of experience versus vitality.
Dry season in Zambia means new life for the Nsefu pride of lions along the Luangwa River. From their first day on earth to the playful days of youth, see how new cubs rely on the strong bond of the entire pride for their survival.
In an extraordinary story of love and betrayal, a young lion cub is cast out from the pride for being the runt of the litter. To survive, he must conquer overwhelming hardships. In this part of Zambia, that is no easy feat.
Adolescence isn’t easy for lions. Learning how to hunt and establishing one’s place amongst the pride are just two of the challenges young felines have to face. And when an encounter with water buffalo turns deadly, the entire pride is affected.
In clans of spotted hyenas, larger females call the shots while smaller males live peripheral lives. Meet a family suffering through drought, a mother struggling to provide for her cubs, and an orphan at the bottom of the social pile.
