This is Nsefu,

00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,480
in the heart of Zambia...

4
00:00:19,240 --> 00:00:21,480
..part of a national park

5
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,960
on the banks of the Luangwa River.

HIGH-PITCHED YELPING

7
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,280
Here, for five years,

8
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,600
we've been following the remarkable
story

9
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,720
of four rival families.

10
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,480
They're all striving to make this
place a home...

11
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,160
..but this is a land full of
challenges.

12
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:06,520
THUNDER CRACKS

13
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,480
BIRDS HONK

14
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,600
And the greatest challenge

15
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,800
comes from each other.

16
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,960
LION GROWLS

17
00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:20,440
In this series,

18
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,240
we will see these rivals compete to
stake their claim

19
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:25,360
on this land.

20
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,240
THEY BARK AND SNARL

21
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,280
Some will rise...

22
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,320
..others will fall.

23
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:42,320
Who will succeed in ruling this
precious kingdom?

24
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,320
For over a decade,

25
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,480
Nsefu has been home to a remarkable
leopard.

26
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,600
This is Olimba.

27
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,600
She controls one of the richest
leopard territories

28
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,560
for miles around.

29
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,840
It's an excellent place...

00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:08,880
CUB YOWLS

31
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,040
..to bring up the next generation.

32
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,080
She has a son and a daughter.

33
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,400
Even here, it's rare for a leopard

34
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,640
to succeed in raising two cubs.

35
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,200
CUB YOWLS

36
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,520
Olimba is a single mother

37
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,600
with a tough job ahead of her.

38
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,480
Her territory is very crowded.

39
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,560
The first critical lesson for her cubs
is what is safe...

40
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,560
..and what, and who, should be
avoided.

41
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:24,640
The best way to learn is through
first-hand experience.

42
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,480
Olimba's son, Moyo, is bold.

43
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,120
MOYO SNIFFS

44
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,000
MUD SQUELCHES

45
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,280
His sister, Mutima,

46
00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:54,640
is more cautious...

47
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:58,400
..and seems happy

48
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,280
to let her brother push the
boundaries.

49
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,600
That is a threat.

HIPPO BELLOWS

52
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,480
It's time to lead the cubs away.

53
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,760
But there is another danger,

54
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,360
and Olimba has no idea that it's
coming.

55
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,680
Five miles away,

56
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,440
a wild dog is crossing into Nsefu.

57
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,040
She is known as Storm.

58
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,240
And with her comes her pack.

59
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,840
They're searching for a new home.

60
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,520
Wild dogs haven't settled here for
years.

61
00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:35,880
Their sudden arrival catches everyone
by surprise.

And the rest of the pack support her.

Faced by the power of this pack,

77
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,600
even elephants back down.

Storm's calls bring everyone to her
side...

80
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,640
..before she leads them deeper into
Nsefu...

81
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,720
..and right towards Olimba's
territory.

82
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,200
A leopard mother must not only protect
her cubs...

83
00:08:56,680 --> 00:09:00,040
Day in, day out, they're always
hungry,

84
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,400
so Olimba must hunt frequently.

85
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,600
The cubs would be more of a hindrance
than a help,

86
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,160
so Moyo and Mutima stay behind.

87
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,200
Leopards are ambush predators...

88
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,080
..and, to be successful,

89
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,200
she must get to within ten metres of
her prey.

90
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,680
Striking distance.

00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,080

where they WON'T follow.

101
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,800
This hunt is over.

102
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,720
But now they have spotted Olimba,

103
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,080
a rival.

104
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,160

Storm and her pack,

110
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,120
like everyone here,

111
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,800
have been drawn into this rich
territory

112
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,480
by one thing...

113
00:13:33,680 --> 00:13:34,880
..water.

114
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,080
In the heart of Nsefu

115
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,400
is the Luangwa River.

116
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,440
It never runs dry.

117
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,400
This river sustains

118
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,160
an extraordinary variety of life.

The twisting, turning stretch of land

along the eastern bank is particularly
rich.

122
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,040
Critically, it's full of prey.

123
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,520
An excellent home for Olimba.

124
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,840
But now she has the dogs to worry
about...

125
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,280
..she's spending more time in the
trees.

126
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,760
It's the safest place for her cubs.

00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,400

130
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:14,240
Today they're focused on becoming...

131
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,240
..agile hunters.

132
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,440
One day, these cubs will be able

133
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,160
to leap six metres...

134
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,040
..and ambush their prey.

135
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,560
But that day is a long way into the
future.

136
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,320
Leopards hunt

137
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:53,040
over 100 different kinds of prey,

138
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,600
anything from wildebeest to
porcupines.

139
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:09,400
How hard can it be to catch a bush
squirrel?

140
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,680
Quite hard!

154
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:17,120
They've detected the kill from over a
mile away.

155
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,320
Stealing from someone else is what
they do best.

156

THEY BARK

157
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,320

00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,120
They split into groups
SCREECHING AND GROWLING

161

..but here they've met their match.

165
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:41,880
The super-strength of wild dogs is
their unity.

Storm is not only a leader - she's

00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,880
And this is her family.

169
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,920
They will support her, no matter what.

170
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,480
A few miles south of the dogs

171
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,320
stands a grove of ebony trees.

172
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,400
They are over 20 metres tall and
create shade,

173
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,720
that makes this a popular place

174
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,080

00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,520
She has stayed at home

179
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,680
while her clan are out looking for
food.

180
00:20:01,120 --> 00:20:03,640
Baboons would usually raise the alarm

181
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,880
at the sight of a predator,

182
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,320
but when a hyena is taking it this
easy,

183
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,280
there is no threat.

184
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:25,120
Tandala is about to become a mother
for the first time.

185
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,920
This cooling mud-bath is particularly
welcome.

186
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,280

Being pregnant,

192
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,480
Tandala needs to eat as much as she
can.

193
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,520
Sniffing out scraps is the safest
strategy.

194
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:21,120
An abandoned carcass - a rare find.

195
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,280
The rest of Tandala's clan are back
and still hungry.

196
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,480
She needs to protect her food.

197
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,800
Hiding it in the water conceals its
smell.

198
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,120
"Nothing much to see here.

199
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,080
"Just having a drink."

200
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:29,360
That fooled them.

201
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,440
With her unborn cub to provide for,

202
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,560
she has to be a bit selfish.

In the dry season,

208
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,440
fallen flowers are a welcome treat for
grazers.

209
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,080
This hasn't gone unnoticed by Olimba.

210
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,280
Again, she has left her cubs behind,

211
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:28,520
because this is going to need real
concentration.

212
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,400
One mistake could be fatal -

213
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,720

Each failure puts her under ever

Back at this dry gully, her favourite

Mutima and Moyo can leave the safety

Female leopards are small,

and that puts them at the bottom

233
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,120

234
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,440

00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,800

238
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,560
Mutima is staying well clear of it.

There's plenty left for the family,

246
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,280

00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,920
PUPPIES YAP

374
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:02,880
Their excitement is infectious.

375
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:18,440
They're still under Storm's watchful
eye.

376
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,280
To keep safe, they must stay together,

377
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:33,200
and close to the adults.

378
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:46,240
The male lion is back...

379
00:46:46,240 --> 00:46:47,640
DOG YELPS

380
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:51,360
..and he's not alone.

381
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:07,400
WHINING

382
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:16,280
Lions are the major killers of wild
dog puppies.

383
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:20,160
LION GROWLS

384
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:23,280
PUPPY HOOTS

385
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:32,120
PUPPY YELPS

386
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:39,200
STORM BARKS

387
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:44,800
Storm must get the puppies to the
hidden den - now.

388
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:53,480
LION GROWLS

389
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:56,680
But one puppy hasn't followed her
back.

390
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:03,560
Can Storm rescue her pup in time?

391
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:08,400
Or will it have to face the lions
alone?

392
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:20,040
LION SNARLS
