00:13:30,083 --> 00:13:30,963
A lion.

Only 200 feet from where Duma

[tense music continues]
185
00:13:43,363 --> 00:13:46,323
The lion may be alone, but to small pups,
186
00:13:46,963 --> 00:13:48,003
she's deadly.
187
00:13:50,043 --> 00:13:51,843
[tense music fades]
188
00:13:53,643 --> 00:13:57,203

[tense music continues]

One dog may be no match,
200

but four is enough
to send the lion packing.

Every adult gives 100% for this family.
207
00:15:14,603 --> 00:15:16,443
It's a team effort to protect
208

and feed the pups.

Mother and daughter are safely reunited.

After the scare of losing her,

her mom decides
it's time for some tough love.

[jaunty music continues]
246
00:17:28,443 --> 00:17:32,123
First, short dips
to get used to the water.
247
00:17:33,923 --> 00:17:36,083
Then full-on swim training.

[jaunty music continues]
249
00:17:45,163 --> 00:17:48,963
With her mom's encouragement

slowly but surely,
Kesari gets the hang of it.

[jaunty music continues]
252
00:18:04,363 --> 00:18:08,363
In just a fortnight, she's mastered
splashing around on the surface.

[jaunty music continues]
254
00:18:13,163 --> 00:18:17,883
But diving underwater

[jaunty music fades]
256
00:18:25,723 --> 00:18:29,243
Her attempts to find food
are a little patchy.

But thankfully,
she's still given meals by her mom.

-Kesari is thriving.

She's no longer a laid-back baby,

but a little girl
growing more independent by the day.

[tranquil music continues]
263
00:19:05,963 --> 00:19:08,643
The incredible bond that these two share

will give Kesari
the best chance in the future.

[tranquil music continues]
268

these two can enjoy
their precious time together.

In Uganda,
273
00:19:48,323 --> 00:19:51,003
family strength
has never been more important
274
00:19:51,083 --> 00:19:52,963
for Quito and his sisters.

Under threat of attack,

The sound of Quito in danger
was the trigger Quboua needed.

And at last,
310
00:22:09,883 --> 00:22:13,643
Quito has the special bond
he always longed for.

he's turning out to be
the most attentive mentor of all.

Duma's mom has decided that it's time

she picks a direction.
363
00:26:10,003 --> 00:26:12,043
[pups squeal]
364
00:26:12,723 --> 00:26:13,723
[elephant growls]
365
00:26:18,163 --> 00:26:19,563
But it's the wrong one.
366
00:26:24,403 --> 00:26:27,603
This wet ground is completely new to them.
367
00:26:32,003 --> 00:26:36,923
Duma has got her siblings
well and truly lost.
368
00:26:37,003 --> 00:26:39,003
[tense music plays]
369
00:26:45,403 --> 00:26:46,923
Back at the kill,
370
00:26:47,003 --> 00:26:49,323
Bamba realizes the pups are missing
371
00:26:50,323 --> 00:26:52,803
and quickly forms a search party.
372
00:26:52,883 --> 00:26:54,883
[tense music plays]
373
00:26:59,003 --> 00:27:00,523
[wild dog howls]
374
00:27:00,603 --> 00:27:02,763
Usually, they smell the pups,
375
00:27:03,443 --> 00:27:07,363
but in wind this strong,
they can't pick up their scent.
376
00:27:08,603 --> 00:27:10,923
[tense music continues]
377
00:27:14,803 --> 00:27:18,163
The pups' lives now depend
on their family bonds.
378
00:27:21,003 --> 00:27:23,003
[tense music crescendos]
379
00:27:23,083 --> 00:27:28,483
Duma is learning just how important
it is to be part of a team.
380
00:27:29,803 --> 00:27:31,803
[tense music plays]
381
00:27:32,523 --> 00:27:34,283
The pups need their pack,
382
00:27:35,163 --> 00:27:36,683
and they need them now.
383
00:27:37,643 --> 00:27:39,483
[tense music continues]
384
00:27:43,403 --> 00:27:44,883
