begging them to wait for her.

But the pride must leave

in search of food.

They cannot jeopardize themselves

and the other cubs.

The pride moves

further and further away.

Layla forces herself to try and follow.

Mara stays with Layla,

but is in danger now.

Mother and daughter

have lost the protection of the pride.

Layla must find the strength

to catch up,

For the sake of her daughter.

Sita's cubs are growing in leaps

and bounds.

In their minds,

they're the fiercest hunters in the land.

Enemies approach.

Three cheetah brothers.

They may be fellow cheetahs,

but these brothers can be dangerous

for Sita's cubs.

They are the one foe

she cannot outrun.

The brothers back down,

but they have separated Sita

from her young.

Male cheetahs

will sometimes attack small cubs.

Incredibly, the cubs hold their ground.

They have their mother's spirit.

In this land, even bullies get bullied.

The lionesses are tired

After their long journey.

But cubs will be cubs

and siesta time is soon over.

New playmates are always welcome.

Luckily, he can't get the lid off.

Layla and Mara have braved

the long journey and finally caught up.

But their timing couldn't be worse.

The river has fallen.

The pride's protective moat has gone.

Kali sees his chance

to invade the southern kingdom.

Kali and his largest son cross

the crocodile-infested waters.

Fang senses the danger.

Sounding strong might deter an attack.

But Kali is not fooled.

Fang sees it's two against one.

His chances are slim.

Kali attacks.

Fang has no answer.

Kali's son threatens, too.

Fang deserts his pride,

leaving them unprotected.

Kali is poised for takeover.

Mara may be killed.

But a mother will do anything

to save her cub.

Layla is the lionesses leader.

Despite her injury,

she puts herself between the invaders

and the precious cubs.

Inspired by Layla,

the other lionesses attack.

Layla and the lionesses have saved

the pride and their precious cubs.

Kali has lost this battle,

but next time

he may bring reinforcements.

Fang has also been saved

by the lionesses.

But for how long?

The attack has taken a terrible toll.

This little cub is badly hurt

and lucky to be alive,

but Mara is nowhere to be found.

Layla has taken

Another devastating blow in the fight.

It takes all her strength

just to get to her feet.

She must find her Mara.

With a mother's desperate hope,

she calls for her cub.

Mara has survived.

Her mother's bravery has saved her.

There is no greater bond

than that between a lioness

and her cub.

The rains have returned,

but the herds are still far away.

Hunting is never easy.

Now, it's dangerous for Sita as well.
