These lion mothers will stop at nothing to feed their cubs.
It's morning.
Brad has found the hungry lion mothers and older cubs.
Makosi, Magogo and Nosi have spotted an opportunity.
When it's really, really dry, prey is limited and it's isolated and everybody's just bottled up into one little ball.
This has brought the predator interaction to a peak.
Leopards stash their food in trees to keep it safe.
But these lion mothers will stop at nothing to feed their cubs.
This group of lionesses are known for their tree climbing.
I think this is an example of the advantage of that.
The leopard has no chance against a lion three times its weight.
Makosi has decided to eat the carcass up in the tree alone and not share it with everybody below.
Frustrating for the cubs and the other lionesses.
She's being a little mean.
These cubs are hungry, they can smell this pig.
And they're desperately trying to get up and down but none of them seem to be winning.
It's almost like she's trying to get these cubs to learn to climb trees, to go and get it.
They want something to eat, they'd better climb.
Oh, go Matata.
That's the highest one of the cubs has gone.
Makosi's coming down.
Everybody trying to get hold of it and she's about to tumble down with the carcass and knock cubs out of trees.
Now we're going to have absolute pandemonium trying to compete at this warthog.
