00:00 The nomads disregard for territory boundaries is a threat to all the lions along the river
00:06 Five miles to the south Nathan checks up on the MKs and does a headcount
00:13 so it looks like we're finally found the punks and
00:17 10 of the MKs here
00:20 The two males mohawk and axle probably heard the nomads calls and returned from patrol to defend their pride
00:28 The danger to the north is very real
00:30 The MKs are really on the back foot at the moment with
00:33 Their males that the punks kind of really at the end of their prime. They're not looking great
00:39 I've had a great run, but they're not looking in great condition these days
00:43 And if those four strong new boys the nomads came down this way, I think that'd be quite a fight
00:48 So the MKs and the punks only have been hanging down in their more southern end of the the territory
00:55 away from the nomads that moved in and I think they're trying to stay as far away as possible
01:01 But not all the MKs are with the main pride a
01:06 Mile south Sam finds Rosa one of the females
01:11 We've just seen female lioness walk up on the river
01:15 Sam makes an incredible discovery
01:18 Our
01:21 She's got look at her teats
01:23 Rosa's a new mother
01:26 When the female lion first goes against birth she'll leave the pride and just for the safety of the cubs
01:32 She won't actually introduce the cubs to the pride until they normally about two months old
01:37 I mean, I have goosebumps everywhere. I really hope that they are cubs lying around somewhere
01:41 Rosa seems to be comfortable with Sam's presence
01:49 Rosa seems to be comfortable with Sam's presence
01:52 That's just incredible
01:57 She calls gently
01:59 The cubs are likely hidden in the undergrowth nearby. Oh, she's self-calling for the cubs now
02:06 Oh, I think I can see something
02:13 Oh my goodness
02:18 Oh
02:20 Oh and another one three cubbies, oh, this is just so special
02:27 They're still so spotty
02:31 Look at that feisty little one. They've missed their mom
02:35 Two females and a male about eight weeks old like all cubs they have spots that will fade as they grow
02:45 So
02:47 It's likely that rose has been away from her cubs for a few hours to hunt oh, they're just giving their mom a love
02:58 Now it's the little one's turn to feed and we are so lucky that she's brought them right out into the open
03:06 I mean, you can see that she knows we're not a threat
03:09 She's chosen to take them out of the bushes
03:11 And the fact that we get to see them right here being fed is just phenomenal
03:15 At the moment the cubs will only be drinking milk from mom
03:21 And then once they're older to start tasting meat, that's when she'll bring them into the pie
03:25 I can't believe she's kept it a secret. We didn't even know
03:37 Sam's discovery is bittersweet
03:40 I did not know the day would end this way finding three little cubs at the moment is pure excitement
03:48 I can't wait to film them. But at the same time at the back of my head
03:51 It's just a worry knowing that the no man's have come in
03:53 And if the pride taker is gonna happen, unfortunately, these little guys aren't gonna survive which is really sad
04:01 Now you can be as professional as you want but it's still gonna rip your
04:06 Rip your heart out
04:08 I'm gonna hope that uh, nathan's taking the shift if the males come in and
04:14 Decide to do something about these cubs because I don't know if i'll be able to film it
04:18 For the mk pride the future of their newest members is on a knife edge
04:25 So
04:28 Oh
04:30 So
04:32 Foreign
