A year has passed since the lionesses of the ‘Boulder Pride’ bore their cubs. The youngsters have gotten much bigger and, amazingly, all nine have survived. But the lions in the northern savannah on the border of Kenya and Tanzania have a problem: new males have taken over the territory, expelling the members of the boulder pride. Now they must hunt without the support of the rest of their family – closely followed by their arch-rivals, the hyenas always on their tails.
