1
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:16,430
This is Nsefu, in the heart of Zambia...
2
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:24,910
...part of a national park on
the banks of the Luangwa River.
3
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:37,400
Here, for five years, we've been
following the remarkable story
4
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,670
of four rival families.
5
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,430
They're all striving to
make this place a home...
6
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,110
...but this is a land
full of challenges.
7
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,750
And the greatest challenge
comes from each other.
8
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:20,240
In this series,
9
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:25,310
we will see these rivals compete
to stake their claim on this land.
10
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,230
Some will rise...
11
00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:34,270
...others will fall.
12
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:42,270
Who will succeed in ruling
this precious kingdom?
13
00:02:10,500 --> 00:02:15,500
Subtitles: FΛSSTΞCHAddic7ed.com
14
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:37,430
For over a decade, Nsefu has
been home to a remarkable leopard.
15
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,550
This is Olimba.
16
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:58,510
She controls one of the richest
leopard territories for miles around.
17
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,790
It's an excellent place...
18
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,990
...to bring up the next generation.
19
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,030
She has a son and a daughter.
20
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:49,590
Even here, it's rare for a leopard
to succeed in raising two cubs.
21
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,550
Olimba is a single mother
with a tough job ahead of her.
22
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,430
Her territory is very crowded.
23
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:10,510
The first critical lesson for
her cubs is what is safe...
24
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,510
...and what, and who, should be avoided.
25
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:24,590
The best way to learn is
through first-hand experience.
26
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,430
Olimba's son, Moyo, is bold.
27
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:54,590
His sister, Mutima, is more cautious...
28
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,230
...and seems happy to let her
brother push the boundaries.
29
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,550
That is a threat.
30
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,430
It's time to lead the cubs away.
31
00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:51,310
But there is another danger,
and Olimba has no idea that it's coming.
32
00:05:54,840 --> 00:06:01,390
Five miles away,
a wild dog is crossing into Nsefu.
33
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,990
She is known as Storm.
34
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,190
And with her comes her pack.
35
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,790
They're searching for a new home.
36
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,470
Wild dogs haven't
settled here for years.
37
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,830
Their sudden arrival
catches everyone by surprise.
38
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,950
Most animals get out of
the way of stampeding elephants.
39
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,550
But Storm holds her ground.
40
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,110
And the rest of the pack support her.
41
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:04,550
Faced by the power of this pack,
even elephants back down.
42
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,550
Storm's calls bring
everyone to her side...
43
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,590
...before she leads
them deeper into Nsefu...
44
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,670
...and right towards Olimba's territory.
45
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:54,150
A leopard mother must
not only protect her cubs...
46
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:02,350
Day in, day out, they're always hungry,
so Olimba must hunt frequently.
47
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,400
The cubs would be more
of a hindrance than a help,
48
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,110
so Moyo and Mutima stay behind.
49
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,150
Leopards are ambush predators...
50
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:33,150
...and, to be successful, she must
get to within ten metres of her prey.
51
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,630
Striking distance.
52
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,590
Storm and her pack are here.
53
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,590
And they are hunting.
54
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:55,150
It's hard to escape dogs
that can run as fast as 40mph.
55
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:44,870
But there is one place
where they WON'T follow.
56
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,750
This hunt is over.
57
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:07,030
But now they have spotted Olimba,
a rival.
58
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,110
The pack could kill her.
59
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,750
High in the trees is
the safest place for her.
60
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,470
Bringing up her cubs
here has just got harder.
61
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:29,600
Storm and her pack, like everyone here,
have been drawn into this rich territory
62
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,430
by one thing...
63
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:34,830
...water.
64
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:42,200
In the heart of Nsefu
is the Luangwa River.
65
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,390
It never runs dry.
66
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:59,110
This river sustains
an extraordinary variety of life.
67
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,560
The twisting, turning stretch of land
68
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:29,400
along the eastern
bank is particularly rich.
69
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,990
Critically, it's full of prey.
70
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,470
An excellent home for Olimba.
71
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,790
But now she has
the dogs to worry about...
72
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,230
...she's spending
more time in the trees.
73
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,710
It's the safest place for her cubs.
74
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,350
They seem quite unaware
that anything has changed.
75
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:14,040
Today they're focused on becoming...
76
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,190
...agile hunters.
77
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:27,110
One day, these cubs will
be able to leap six metres...
78
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,990
...and ambush their prey.
79
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,510
But that day is a long
way into the future.
80
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:52,840
Leopards hunt over 100
different kinds of prey,
81
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,550
anything from wildebeest to porcupines.
82
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:09,350
How hard can it be to
catch a bush squirrel?
83
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,630
Quite hard!
84
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,830
But not as hard as
the challenges now facing Olimba.
85
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:40,110
Over the next few weeks,
a new sound drifts over Nsefu.
86
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:50,030
The soft calls of Storm's pack, as they
come together after a successful hunt.
87
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,390
They've never had it so good.
88
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:01,510
But their very success...
89
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:05,750
...makes them a target.
90
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:10,870
Hyenas.
91
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:17,070
They've detected the kill
from over a mile away.
92
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:26,270
Stealing from someone
else is what they do best.
93
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,270
The dogs' meal could
be gone in minutes...
94
00:17:50,120 --> 00:17:53,910
...but Storm and her pack
mount a counterattack.
95
00:17:55,280 --> 00:18:00,270
They split into groups and drive
back each hyena, one by one.
96
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,310
Hyenas are twice
the size of wild dogs...
97
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,710
...but here they've met their match.
98
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:41,830
The super-strength of
wild dogs is their unity.
99
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:51,710
Storm is not only a leader,
she's also a mother.
100
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,830
And this is her family.
101
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,870
They will support her, no matter what.
102
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:22,270
A few miles south of the dogs
stands a grove of ebony trees.
103
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:30,520
They are over 20 metres tall and create
shade, that makes this a popular place
104
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,030
for the locals to relax.
105
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,030
And with them is Tandala.
106
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:57,630
She has stayed at home while
her clan are out looking for food.
107
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:05,680
Baboons would usually raise
the alarm at the sight of a predator,
108
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:11,230
but when a hyena is taking it this easy,
there is no threat.
109
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:25,070
Tandala is about to become
a mother for the first time.
110
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,870
This cooling mud-bath
is particularly welcome.
111
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,310
A precious moment of rest...
112
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,470
...cut short by
the ever-grumpy elephants.
113
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,430
Being pregnant,
Tandala needs to eat as much as she can.
114
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,470
Sniffing out scraps
is the safest strategy.
115
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,070
An abandoned carcass, a rare find.
116
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:28,230
The rest of Tandala's clan
are back and still hungry.
117
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,430
She needs to protect her food.
118
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,750
Hiding it in the water
conceals its smell.
119
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,070
"Nothing much to see here.
120
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,030
Just having a drink."
121
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,310
That fooled them.
122
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:37,510
With her unborn cub to provide for,
she has to be a bit selfish.
123
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:50,120
All mothers, including mothers-to-be,
have to exploit every opportunity...
124
00:22:50,120 --> 00:22:51,990
...whenever it comes.
125
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:14,390
In the dry season, fallen flowers
are a welcome treat for grazers.
126
00:23:18,120 --> 00:23:20,880
This hasn't gone unnoticed by Olimba.
127
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,080
Again, she has left her cubs behind,
128
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:28,470
because this is going to
need real concentration.
129
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:49,670
One mistake could be fatal,
for her and for her cubs.
130
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:57,310
No damage done, but no meal either.
131
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,750
Each failure puts her
under ever greater pressure.
132
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:20,880
Back at this dry gully,
her favourite hunting ground,
133
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,270
there's no sign of
Storm's wild dog pack.
134
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:39,790
With the coast clear, Mutima and Moyo
can leave the safety of the trees...
135
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,390
...to watch and learn.
136
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:40,190
This should be enough to
sustain her and the cubs for days.
137
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,470
But they have company.
138
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,910
One of the hyena clan.
139
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:15,080
Female leopards are small,
and that puts them at the bottom
140
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,070
of the predator hierarchy here.
141
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,390
Olimba holds back...
142
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,070
...understandably.
143
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:56,750
But Moyo is not only hungry, he's bold.
144
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,910
He and his mother
start to work together.
145
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,510
Mutima is staying well clear of it.
146
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,670
This is getting dangerous.
147
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,510
Persistence from both youngster...
148
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,630
...and mother...
149
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:56,790
...tips the balance.
150
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:08,280
There's plenty left for the family,
and Olimba wastes no time
151
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:13,030
in getting it safely stored
away and hidden from rivals.
152
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:21,350
Moyo's risk-taking has led to success...
153
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,430
...this time.
154
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:39,390
As the weeks go by,
the dry season takes a firm hold.
155
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,630
Temperatures rise to
over 40 degrees Celsius.
156
00:30:55,040 --> 00:31:01,750
In the heat of the day, mother-to-be
Tandala is fast asleep, again.
157
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:34,710
A rude awakening, but perhaps
also an opportunity for a meal.
158
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,990
It's not easy to steal
from Storm's pack.
159
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,310
Tandala is in for a shock.
160
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,830
She has no way to escape.
161
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:01,390
Desperately, Tandala tries
to protect both her back...
162
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,110
...and her belly.
163
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:26,230
Lions are the strongest and
most aggressive predators in Africa.
164
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:49,310
...and male lions can
take anything they want.
165
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:19,110
With the dogs distracted,
it's a chance for Tandala to sneak away.
166
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:53,990
Lions are the biggest
threat to wild dogs.
167
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:03,790
There hasn't been a powerful lion pride
at the core of Nsefu for many months.
168
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,510
This couldn't have come
at a worse time for Storm.
169
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:21,950
She has a secret.
170
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,030
Eight vulnerable puppies.
171
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:36,070
They can play in safety around
their den, it's their nursery.
172
00:35:56,080 --> 00:36:02,270
In wild dog families, everyone in
the pack helps protect and raise a litter.
173
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:26,190
Storm has been keeping them
as close as possible to the den...
174
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:34,270
...but before long, they will be old
enough to go out with the adults...
175
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,390
...and that will be
Storm's biggest test yet.
176
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,830
With Nsefu becoming
more and more crowded...
177
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,350
...with more and more rivals...
178
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:12,870
...the pressure is rising,
for anyone with a family to protect.
179
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:36,550
Olimba's cubs are now seven months old.
180
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:42,630
Mutima is trying to get
comfortable up in the trees.
181
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:50,230
Below,
Moyo is showing ever more independence.
182
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:30,870
His ever-growing curiosity leads him
further and further away from his mother.
183
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:16,350
When Olimba calls for her son,
Moyo usually answers within minutes...
184
00:39:18,720 --> 00:39:22,550
...but today, nothing.
185
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,390
She has been searching since dawn.
186
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,830
Her calls are becoming more urgent.
187
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,230
Still no reply.
188
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:00,550
And now night is falling.
189
00:40:30,720 --> 00:40:36,910
Night is the most dangerous time
for her son to be out there alone.
190
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:58,790
She is exhausted.
191
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:20,470
Male lions will attack rival
predators to eliminate competition.
192
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:26,550
He is over four times Olimba's size...
193
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,590
...and can move almost silently.
194
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:57,990
He could never catch
her up in the trees.
195
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:19,110
Lions aren't the only
ones out here in the dark.
196
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,110
Olimba is trapped...
197
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:32,550
...again.
198
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:26,870
Mutima has been patiently
waiting where her mother left her.
199
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:02,990
Olimba is back...
200
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:12,150
...but she has returned alone.
201
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:36,670
Moyo is dead.
202
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:42,190
His injuries bear all
the signs of a lion attack.
203
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:51,270
Perhaps he was just too bold.
204
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:27,790
Guiding Mutima to adulthood
will now be Olimba's sole focus.
205
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:55,470
The wild dog puppies are now old enough
to join an expedition away from the den.
206
00:46:00,720 --> 00:46:02,830
Their excitement is infectious.
207
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,390
They're still under
Storm's watchful eye.
208
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:33,150
To keep safe, they must stay together,
and close to the adults.
209
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:46,190
The male lion is back...
210
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:51,310
...and he's not alone.
211
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:16,230
Lions are the major
killers of wild dog puppies.
212
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:44,750
Storm must get the puppies
to the hidden den, now.
213
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:56,630
But one puppy hasn't followed her back.
214
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:03,510
Can Storm rescue her pup in time?
215
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:08,350
Or will it have to face the lions alone?
216
00:48:18,100 --> 00:48:26,100
