Previously on Kingdom, there were devastating floods.

Tenta the hyena, together with her twin cubs, managed to survive.

But now she has to re -establish her family's position.

The lions, however...

lost their cubs.

Can their family recover?

All the wild dogs, led by Storm, retreated from Nsefu.

But now the lion pride has been seriously weakened.

Can Storm manage to return?

And Olimba the Leopard has competition for her territory from

her own daughter.

Only one can prevail.

Mutima. can either flee or turn

and fight.

Five years

Four families.

Who will rule this kingdom?

Mutima is forced to concede.

She must leave her mother's territory, the only home she's ever

known.

She will now start a new life as a solitary leopard.

In a secluded corner of Nsefu, almost hidden from sight,

a den.

Storm, the leader of the wild dogs, has been hiding here.

And she's been busy.

She has eleven new puppies.

Storm's largest litter ever.

To keep the pack fed, the adults must hunt twice a day.

But one dog is struggling to keep up.

This is Flint, Storm's oldest son.

He has been injured in a poacher's trap.

Unable to hunt for himself, Flint has rejoined his mother's pack.

Even though he is the last to arrive at the kill, he won't go hungry.

Wild dogs care for pack members who are weak or injured.

And when it's time to head for home,

They all go a little slower

Few

animals have stronger bonds

than wild dogs

Storm

is waiting for the patch return

Her puppies are hungry

They're still too young to leave the safety of home so the pack bring back

for them.

Even Flint shares what he has.

Old or injured wild dogs can still be valuable members of the pack.

Flint's experience makes him acutely aware of dangers that might threaten the

pups.

And that is a great help to Storm, as she tries to raise a litter as large as

this.

Tenta's hyena clan are slowly getting back together.

And, at last, Tandala

has found her way back to her family.

But she has lost her only cub.

Tenters twins may offer some comfort.

Play strengthens the clan's bond.

And it seems no one wants to miss out.

But this isn't just

fun and games.

Amongst hyenas, clan unity brings power.

Evening.

As the light fades, Tenta leads her family in search of food.

The lionesses have made a kill

It

could feed many hungry hyenas

But there are not enough of the clan here to challenge the lion.

So Tenta calls for reinforcements.

Her whooping calls are amplified by the ground.

They can be heard

from far and wide.

The other members of the clan respond immediately.

The hyenas are now more powerful.

the strength of the reunited hyena clan could have consequences throughout

Nsefu.

After losing the fight with her mother, Mutima the leopard is searching

for a territory of her own.

But almost immediately she runs into danger.

Mujima is no match for Storm's pack.

Motima is now on unfamiliar ground.

What is more, this is the territory of leopards she doesn't know.

And this female has her own problems.

Let's move on.

There are no signs of leopards here.

Perhaps this is a place where she could settle.

But wherever she tries, other animals have got there first.

Baboons don't tolerate predators of any kind in their trees.

Ah!

A leopard can take only so much harassment.

She must keep searching.

Wild dogs live in families which have their own affectionate rituals.

Every day, as soon as they wake, storms pass yet together

and reaffirm their

kinship.

Everyone joins in, old and young.

The puppies are not yet big enough to join in an actual hunt.

So Storm and Flint stay behind to watch over them.

Babysitting is a job Flint manages to do lying down.

The pups, meanwhile...

has dealt with the hyena.

Now the dogs must take on the leopard.

But other hyenas have discovered Storm's den.

Flint stands guard while Storm tries to lead the

pucks away.

Flint has little chance alone.

But the pack are back.

Together they manage to drive off the hyenas.

The wild dogs have shown their strength is back.

For this family

Power has been slipping away.

The lionesses have no cubs and they've been beaten by their rivals.

And they have no males to protect them.

But there are two new males in Nsefu.

Male lions are often hostile and aggressive.

But their power is just what the lionesses need.

So they attempt to recruit the males as allies and potential mates

by flirting with them.

And gradually, day by day, they become regular companions.

The lionesses now have two strong protectors.

And with them, there is a chance their fortunes may change.

In the centre of Nsefu, the streams and gullies have run dry

and are now an excellent site for an ambush.

Not for a bamboo.

But for a limba.

After pushing her daughter away, she once again has this territory to

she's not quite as fast as she used to be.

And perhaps she doesn't command the respect she once

did.

Even hammer cops don't leave her in peace.

Life is getting hard for a limber.

She's now nearly 13.

And that's old for a leopard.

Although she mated several months ago, she's not yet produced any cubs.

Mutima. will probably be her last.

She is on the far side of Nsefu, many miles

from her mother.

At last, she has found a potential territory.

But she doesn't yet know whether it can provide enough food for her.

of baboons.

They have got the better of her before.

But now, at night, Mutima has an advantage.

Her eyes are extremely sensitive and can detect even the tiniest glimmer of

light.

The baboons can't see her coming.

But as she gets closer, they can hear her.

Some of the baboons stay out of reach by clinging to the far ends of the

smallest branches.

On the sturdier limbs, Mujima can move with extraordinary speed.

This place can certainly provide food.

But there is a problem.

Another leopard is already here

So where can she find a home?

In spite of the danger, Storm and Flint's brother whisk, trying to pull

But the crocodile's grip is unbreakable.

Vince's only chance is that the water may be too shallow for the crocodile to

drag him under.

Astonishingly, Flint finds the strength to escape.

And his brother continues to protect him.

But Flint has been gravely injured.

The family don't leave Flint's side

until

he has taken

his final breath.

The rains return.

And a new chapter begins for all four families.

At the very edge of Nsefu, far away from their rivals, a litter

of tiny cubs has been born.

They're just a few days old.

And they are only one part.

of a baby boom in the lion pride.

Five of the lionesses have produced cubs.

These youngsters have the protection of the whole family.

The lions, for the first time in years, seem likely to regain their full

strength.

And this will surely bring change throughout Nsefu.

But even these most powerful creatures,

will have to cope with dangers that are beyond their control.
