00:00In South Africa, there are many different languages, some have a clear language, some have a different language.
00:15Each language has a specific purpose, to express, to communicate or to influence their language.
00:28Anything, in every moment.
00:37This will be the case of some very rare languages, that were born in the wild.
00:45Only three of them have been able to inhabit the wild world, since the time when the wild lions were first documented in Timbavit, in 1975.
01:02Their cousins are two months older, so these big and white ones will always be hungry.
01:16But they are very curious, and this will be one of their biggest challenges.
01:34All these lions are at risk, while the hyena understands that she is alone.
01:39She is only four months old, too young to be alone.
01:49The hyena will try to kill her, but she can't look into her eyes, because she is blind.
01:55Underneath the hyena, there is a small lioness, a bear. Her mother and father are very interested in other animals.
02:14Their mother is called Metimbria, and is their strongest support.
02:18Their two cousins were born in the wild, which makes it possible for them to be transferred to the wild.
02:26The mother of the lions in the wild is said to be a bear herself. Her name is Kania, and she bears the name Zbehta.
02:36This is a small family, made up of two daughters and four of their cousins. The lion and the bear have a warlike spirit.
02:43They are afraid to fight because their cousins are bigger.
02:55The males are stronger, but their cousins are stronger and more dangerous.
03:12The cubs need to be taught to be more careful, because they have no one else, except their father.
03:29Their father, also known as their son, is blind. He may have been killed by his enemies.
03:37But regardless of his blindness, he is able to make his family very strong.
03:45Their family is based on the goal of the other males.
03:53The two mothers have given birth to a baby lion, which is called a buffalo.
03:59One of their cousins was born. The buffalo will protect his cub at all costs, but this newborn lion is not afraid.
04:08His brother is afraid to be protected, and then another brother is afraid.
04:18These lions are nomads, who do not have a family. Nomads are in search of wild lions.
04:24They are five years old, in their best period.
04:28In a strong season like this, the lions are ready to form their own territory.
04:34Wildfires cannot be avoided, but they will try.
04:54The mother buffalo is desperate to give birth to her young cub.
05:17But it's still too early.
05:24It's time to go.
05:39The breeze makes a small parallel between the two mothers.
05:44With the breeze, they can smell each other.
05:48They are out there, somewhere.
05:55In nature, they are protected by a strong instinct.
06:01They must leave their environment as soon as possible, because of the risk they face.
06:09Far from the mountains, which were their home, to an unknown territory.
06:24Kruger National Park is very large.
06:27It has a size of two times the size of the Kombatari Park and the Stone Park.
06:34It's covered by dense trees, which provide a large number of wild animals.
06:41All of these creatures are protected in different ways in this area,
06:46and all of them can be found in the Luanese region.
06:49In Kruger National Park, there are 2,000 lions, each with its own distinct territory.
06:56With the wind and the wind, they will not be able to live in the territory of the other lions.
07:02They can only hunt their prey, only if they leave their territory.
07:07From now on, this family must live in the city.
07:19But wherever they go, they will find prey.
07:32One of the three nomadic lions has found their prey.
07:36He can smell the aroma of prey.
07:39If the nomad comes, he will steal their prey.
07:43He will try to protect them and keep them in the territory of the other lions,
07:47and he will try to prevent them from fighting with the other lions.
08:01The other rivals will face another danger.
08:04If their prey is attacked by the leopard, it will kill them.
08:13However, these lions do not want to have a fierce rival.
08:27Heavy rains and winds mark the end of the lion.
08:37The emperor said, I will take you back to life.
08:43But the lion did not listen to him.
08:46The emperor sent a messenger to the other lions.
08:50The messenger sent a messenger to the other lions.
08:53The messenger sent a messenger to the other lions.
08:56The messenger sent a messenger to the other lions.
08:59Water buckets are filled with water in this area.
09:03But unfortunately, these are the oldest water buckets ever created.
09:08Water buckets from the widest area flow into the river.
09:12They can only be burned in the best case scenario.
09:20The water is so deep that it is impossible to walk on it.
09:24The water is so deep that it is impossible to walk on it.
09:34But no one sees the water more than the elephants.
09:37But no one sees the water more than the elephants.
09:53The white cubs are only 8 months old, while their males are 10.
09:57The white cubs are only 8 months old, while their males are 10.
10:03This is an uninhabited territory for dinosaurs.
10:07They don't know that this is the best place for them to live,
10:10and the water is very deep.
10:12From there, they can see easily.
10:15Sharp-eyed, they can reach the white cubs easily,
10:18Sharp-eyed, they can reach the white cubs easily,
10:20much earlier than the cubs can see them.
10:25After a few days, the cubs have grown taller.
10:33The lionesses are especially fond of their cubs,
10:35The lionesses are especially fond of their cubs,
10:37when they are young and helpless,
10:39but with age they show their strength.
10:47Unfortunately for them, if they do not take care,
10:50their children will not be able to survive.
10:54So the mothers have no other choice
10:57but to say goodbye to their territory,
11:00to Timbavati.
11:05A little before that, there is a reservoir,
11:08a preferred area by a large group of cubs,
11:11one of the largest and most dominant prey of lion prey.
11:18To feed, the lionesses first have to pass
11:22the aggressive cubs with their dangerous claws.
11:28A wounded cub is their perfect prey.
11:36As long as the group of cubs stays together,
11:39they will be protected.
11:45But after a while, the cubs leave
11:48to find a safer place,
11:53while the lioness is left behind.
12:05The injured cub is trapped in the river.
12:08This is all he can do.
12:27The injured cub is trapped in the river.
12:30This is all he can do.
12:35It's Kania.
12:43Kania goes with the injured cub to the river,
12:46together with the cubs.
12:51This will be their first nest.
12:59With the injured cub, she understands
13:02that she does not need to be afraid.
13:06The cub is desperate.
13:21But she goes very far away from the river.
13:28The cubs take their last chance,
13:31but when the time comes,
13:33the lioness tries to protect her cub.
13:41She's wet, and as soon as she gets out of the water,
13:44another problem arises.
13:51The cubs are more and more alone in the river.
14:03The lioness tries to protect her cub.
14:22The elephant makes sure
14:25that the cub lives a little longer.
14:27But the family is too tired
14:30to get out of the water.
14:37Now, Metimbus is trapped in the river,
14:40while Kania has a clear view of the buffalo.
14:44The cubs are lying down.
14:47One lioness is trying to hide in the grass,
14:50while the other tries to hide.
14:58After a few hours,
15:01the cubs move to a different place,
15:04but in the same direction they came from.
15:11This was the cub's nest,
15:14which Metimbus had taken care of
15:17for a long time.
15:20The lioness is very happy
15:23to see her cub.
15:25The lioness is very happy
15:28to see her cub.
15:38The buffalo is very good at fighting.
15:46The lioness is very good at fighting.
15:55The lioness shows them how to live.
16:22At last,
16:25Metimbus is in their boat.
16:28The family will eat and sleep
16:31all through the night.
16:50The white cubs are 10 months old.
16:52During this time,
16:55they eat everything ready to be fed.
17:03Kania never refuses
17:06a bite to be fed.
17:17As for Metimbria,
17:19Metimbria takes care of her.
17:22She is always in the family's arms.
17:30Still, Kania always tries
17:33to make Metimbria laugh.
17:38The cubs are always together
17:41when they see that Metimbria is having fun.
17:49The cubs are always together
17:52when they see that Metimbria is having fun.
18:07The lions are in search of food.
18:10They will feed groups
18:13that do not have a male in their population.
18:16After the lionesses have eaten from them,
18:19Metimbria has taken down a zebra.
18:31The cubs can't see themselves
18:34but they can't help but be surprised.
18:40The hyenas are in the enclosure.
18:45The cubs are well trained
18:47to learn how to deal with hyenas
18:50for this reason Metimbria
18:53takes care of them first.
19:11The atmosphere is tense.
19:13The lionesses are afraid.
19:16By scuffing the cubs,
19:19Metimbria makes them know
19:22that this territory is hers
19:25along with the male zebra.
19:31The lionesses follow the cubs
19:34and leave the enclosure.
19:44The cubs go to the limits of their territory
19:47but return to the enclosure again.
19:52Now Metimbria shows them
19:55how a hunt ends.
20:14A day like this
20:17is spent in a wild lion.
20:29The days of the female lions
20:32in the Kruger Park
20:35are too long to hunt.
20:38The cubs need to be fed by the males.
20:40The female lionesses
20:43take care of the cubs
20:46while the cubs take care of them.
20:49The cubs don't leave the others
20:52until the moment of the hunt.
21:05And that hunt
21:07never ends.
21:38It's May.
21:41It's the beginning of the hunt
21:44in the Kruger Park.
21:47The cubs are now 11 months old.
21:50They are well fed by their males.
21:53Now they can climb the tree
21:56and hunt.
21:59They can now hunt
22:02without fear.
22:05There is always a way
22:08for this lion.
22:11Even from the highest point.
22:35They've taken the small giraffe
22:38and put it in a hole
22:41where the other cubs can't see it.
22:50For extra care
22:53they cover it with anything
22:56that can release strong aroma.
22:59But there's a good spot
23:01for the lion.
23:12Something is about to happen.
23:15The monkey is the one
23:18that signals the first danger.
23:32Whatever it was,
23:35the lion is gone.
23:42The mother decides
23:45to tell the lion
23:48that it's time to go.
23:53By dusk,
23:56all that the cubs need
23:58is a good night's sleep.
24:08But tonight,
24:11there will be no hunting.
24:28It's one of the three lions.
24:48He charges again,
24:51but with fear and cunning
24:54he risks his life
24:56to save the other cubs.
25:05Every time they pass by,
25:08they try to get rid of the other cubs.
25:22The mothers hold the cubs
25:24in their arms.
25:29He moves in front of the lion.
25:35And that's when the sun sets.
25:44The mothers have no chance
25:47against the other cubs,
25:50but the nomads
25:52will settle for the giraffe kill.
25:55The cubs.
26:05Now, the two mothers
26:08have only one choice
26:11to find their prey.
26:22The family is united as one.
26:25They will start to go
26:28in their wild ways
26:31and leave without a trace.
26:52By August,
26:55the dry winter
26:58is coming to an end.
27:01The cubs return
27:04to the wild.
27:07Trees grow
27:10and flowers
27:13and flowers
27:16and flowers
27:19and flowers
27:22and flowers
27:25and flowers
27:28and flowers
27:31in the winter.
28:03In these conditions, the top of the mountain is protected by a thick layer of snow, but
28:13we can't say the same about the lower mountains.
28:19The Kudu's are on the other side of the mountain.
28:31Lesson learned.
28:36The wolves are starting to learn everything they need to hunt.
28:52It's now November and it's still snowing.
29:00But life goes on.
29:12The cubs are doing their best to run, while the white lions are doing their best to hunt.
29:29By December, the white lions are 818 months old, while their cubs are 20.
29:38They are real lions, while their feathers are dyed with a real dye.
29:58The pride has allowed the family to kill another giraffe, but their pride will not allow them to kill the others.
30:14For the next month, the lions have been following the cubs in search of prey.
30:30But today something is not right.
30:43The hyenas are looking for prey.
31:13The hyenas are looking for prey.
31:23The hyenas are looking for prey.
31:33The hyenas are looking for prey.
31:43The hyenas are looking for prey.
31:53The hyenas are looking for prey.
