for the combined forces

of the mighty Mhahlwa.

The young males

fled for their lives.

The Mhahlwa would kill them

if they offered up

any resistance.

And you can only imagine

how difficult it was

for Misava to say good-bye

to her only surviving cub.

Now Letsatsi's only option

was to join his older cousins.

By joining the group,

he would have a better chance

of survival.

But it was not meant to be.

Without Mogolo

to protect him,

Letsatsi, who had always

been seen as an outsider,

was cast out.

Gisani had learned

of the Mhahlwa takeover

and knew that the well-being

of his people

depended on him

watching over this lion,

now more than ever.

Frightened by the sounds

of the night,

Letsatsi pushed deeper

and deeper into the mountains.

Letsatsi had gone without food

for many days,

but one thing he couldn't

go without was water,

and there below him

was the answer

to his burning thirst.

But even here

in these peaceful surroundings,

danger was everywhere.

Lucky to be alive,

Letsatsi had crossed the border

of his old pride's territory.

Letsatsi was moving quickly,

and Gisani was already

a day or two behind.

He could not afford

to lose track of him now.

Letsatsi was now

in unknown territory.

What was that?

I'm going to take a look.

You stay, now.

And in this territory

lived the most dangerous

creature in all the land...

man.

Gisani, now not far behind,

was getting to know

Letsatsi's tracks by heart.

He was also getting better

at reading

other animal tracks.

Had Letsatsi fallen prey

to a vicious crocodile?

Was he even still alive?

The only way

to answer these questions

was to cross the river.

After his failed attempt

to make a meal

of a tortoise

and his painful encounter

with the porcupine,

choosing the right prey

was proving to be

quite a challenge

for young Letsatsi.

Now, vast

as the African bush seemed,

it wasn't long before Letsatsi

encountered another lion.

With a roar that sounded

like thunder...

This lion was known

as Ku Dzindza.

He pressed on,

up and up the great mountain.

And as the day's events

caught up with Letsatsi,

he was finally overcome

by exhaustion.

With the new day

came new hope.

Below him

was an unexplored valley

teeming with life.

Surely there was something

down there

to provide a meal

for a hungry young lion.

At last, Letsatsi's tracks

led Gisani to a clue

that he was still alive.

But he also quickly realized

that Letsatsi

was moving into an area

where game was hunted by man.

After avoiding Ku Dzindza,

you would think

that Letsatsi was crazy

following another lion.

But he sensed that something

was different about this one.
