Big Cat Country

Meet the MK pride, led by two mighty males called the Punks, who are growing old. See younger members test their mettle as they face off with the all-male Nomad pride and the all-female Hollywood pride to defend the territory they've held for years.

Check on the Hollywood matriarch, Ava, who is brutally wounded. Can the pride recover and rally around her? Meanwhile, observe the stealthy, dangerous tactics the MK and Nomad prides employ to protect their precious cubs and outsmart each other.

Feel the tension ratchet up as the heat rises. Trail the Nomads on a rampage into the heart of the MK pride’s territory as they vie for control. Then see the recovered Ava lead the Hollywood pride, who manage to steal a prized meal from a competitor.

Watch over precious MK cubs with the Punks, who are approaching the end of their reign but are still strong enough to drive back an interloper from the Nomad pride. Then see how the dry season’s drought conditions drive the lions to take big risks.

Hover near the water with the lions, who are really feeling the heat. Witness the recently subdued Nomads get more than they bargained for when they approach the all-female Hollywood pride. Then watch the cubs discover both adventure and danger.

Witness an explosive showdown between the all-female Hollywood pride and the Nomad brothers. Then check on Surabi, an MK female gored during a buffalo hunt, and Spotty, an MK cub whose fate hangs in the balance after he’s separated from his pride.
