A Herd of Buffalo Force the Pride Into Deep Water

Season 1 Episode 4 | 3m 07s

The Xudum Pride finds itself in a tough spot when it gets stuck between a large herd of buffalo and a river channel. Lions may eat buffalo, but a herd of this size has the upper hand. When a bull charges, the lions flee into the water. Panic drives the cubs into deeper water, and the risk of attracting crocodiles increases. Even dominant male, Big Toe, is in jeopardy.
