The Big Cats 24/7 team returns to the Okavango Delta. The Xudum lion pride is now over 40-strong, and its mums must hunt around the clock to feed their growing cubs. The pride males Big Toe and Madumo are missing, leaving the most vulnerable cubs unprotected from dangerous intruder male lions. \n\nLeopardess Xudum has left her territory due to an influx of aggressive male leopards. In Xudum’s absence, the team turns its attention to a new female, Lediba, who they think may already have cubs. Cheetah Pobe surprises with two young cubs of her own, and her challenge now is to keep them safe.
