Big Cat Country

When the all-female Hollywood pride encounters the Nomads, a new pride of rival males, they might have found the answer to their mating dry spell.

An attack leaves matriarch Ava incapacitated; Sam finds a tiny hyena cub all alone; the hyenas and the MK pride battle over a buffalo; Nathan discovers the MKs are hiding more cubs.

A group of four young lions search for a pride to take over on the western bank of the Luangwa River.

After the dry season lowers the waters, siblings Kimba and Maya risk crossing the river to search for their parents; they run the gauntlet of the densest populations of crocs and hippos in Africa.

The dry season is approaching its end, and the MK pride faces its toughest moment yet; their matriarch and best hunter, Surabi, is gored by a buffalo and her survival hangs in the balance; one of the youngest members of the pride is lost and alone.
