Series 3: 3. Kinship

The land recovers, and the action now centres around the river. \n\nKali, the lioness, loses her cubs when they accidentally stray into the path of Nalla and the elephant herd. Separated from their mother, the cubs are in peril. Will Kali find them before it's too late? \n\nNearby, we meet an adorable baby hippo, Mafuta, as he learns to survive in his riverine home. Just staying afloat is a challenge for this newborn, and Magamba, the crocodile, also has him in her sights. Only Mafuta’s father can save him, but confronting the fearsome Magamba won’t be easy. \n\nDuma, the young cheetah, is still struggling to find his place since he was separated from his family by the fire. Like all young males, he should be looking for a team of other males to help him hunt. Instead, he misguidedly tries to join a female and her cub. \n\nUtani, the mongoose, takes the pup he cares for to visit a herd of playful gazelles, but they turn out to be a little too playful for one so young. When the games are over, the mongoose pack is attacked by a hungry eagle. Could Tamu, the playful gazelle fawn, be their unlikely saviour?
