00:00 Sam's searching once more for Spotty.

00:02 Without her realizing, he wandered off

00:06 from his hiding place in the undergrowth.

00:08 - It's kind of hard to see inside.

00:11 It's a really, really thick bush.

00:12 - Sam, do you copy?

00:17 - We have no sign of the cub.

00:19 We've come to the next bush here.

00:21 Just have a look, maybe if he's returned to the old bush

00:24 that he was in before.

00:28 - With the light fading fast, she scours the area.

00:32 - Maybe we'll see eyes.

00:34 - She's worried that desperate Spotty

00:40 has tried to follow Sirabi's trail.

00:42 - That would be worst case scenario

00:46 because he'd be lost

00:48 and the mums would never know where he is.

00:50 - No sign of Spotty.

00:58 (birds chirping)

01:00 - Sam takes one more look by the river

01:12 for signs of Spotty or the mothers.

01:15 - Don't see anything.

01:18 There's no sign of them, no fresh tracks since the rains.

01:23 - It's likely that Spotty is lost forever.

01:27 (water gurgling)

01:30 - I am hoping that if Spotty didn't make it,

01:32 that it was swift and that he hasn't suffered for too long.

01:36 - The disappearance of Rosa, Zuri and the other four cubs

01:45 is also a mystery Sam would like to solve.

01:47 But time is running out.

01:50 - We're gonna have to be leaving soon

01:53 because the whole park shuts down in the rainy season

01:56 and it would be an amazing parting gift

01:58 just to see the mums and the cubs one last time

02:01 to make sure they're safe before we leave.

02:03 - Over the next few days,

02:10 the rains appear with more frequency.

02:25 - It's only been quite heavy showers

02:27 in sort of small localized areas

02:29 and puddles, huge puddles have developed on the road.

02:32 - The mothers have been missing for more than a week.

02:37 Sam and Nathan look everywhere.

02:39 - We're just in the area where the mothers and the cubs

02:43 have generally always been hidden,

02:46 trying to find tracks.

02:49 - The worst case scenario is that the mothers

02:53 have lost a number of the cubs.

02:55 Not looking very good at the moment.

02:59 - After days of searching,

03:03 there's no sign of the mothers and cubs.

03:09 But Nathan does find most of their pride by the river.

03:22 - So we've actually got pretty much the rest

03:24 of the MK pride here, all the youngsters,

03:26 Kimber and Mare and all the siblings.

03:29 So a lot of the younger sort of teenage lions.

03:32 But I think they actually seem to be hunting quite well,

03:36 which is great news 'cause it's kind of showing

03:39 that they're capable of going on to the next level.

03:41 - The pride is really going to need those skills

03:47 because their best hunter is absent.

03:51 - We've got most of the MK pride here together.

03:53 However, Sarabi's missing.

03:55 With Sarabi's wound, I really hope she's okay.

03:57 - Sarabi was last seen heading off into the night,

04:03 calling for Spotty's mother.

04:04 Sam and Nathan might never know

04:09 if that was her last act to protect her pride.

04:12 - Unfortunately, the end of the season is basically here.

04:17 So only time will tell.

04:18 We won't know for another six months.

04:20 - It's almost time for the team to leave.

04:30 Sam makes one last search for the four remaining cubs.

04:35 - So it's been a few days since we last saw Spotty,

04:41 the last cub.

04:41 Kind of just come to terms that he's probably

04:45 kind of just come to terms that he's gone.

04:48 Not seeing the mums and the cubs for so long now

04:52 does make us worried because where are they?

04:54 What's happened?

04:55 - But then.

05:03 - Oh, I think I can see something.

05:05 - There's movement in the distance.

05:09 - Oh, I can see cubs.

05:10 There's two.

05:11 Two cubbies playing.

05:14 Three.

05:15 Four.

05:16 Four cubs so far.

05:19 Is that Spotty?

05:27 I think this is Spotty.

05:30 Oh my goodness.

05:33 There's five cubs here.

05:38 - Against overwhelming odds,

05:45 Spotty has found his mother.

05:46 - Oh, Spotty.

05:49 This is literally the most amazing, amazing morning.

05:54 We have five cubs here.

05:55 To be honest, I was like, it's not gonna happen.

05:57 This cub is not gonna survive.

05:59 And somehow these mothers have managed to find the cub.

06:04 He's back with his mum.

06:08 I actually can't believe it.

06:10 (gentle music)

06:13 Spotty is looking so good.

06:17 He's looking fat.

06:19 He's looking healthy.

06:20 He's keeping up with the rest of the cubs.

06:22 Yeah, it's so, so sweet to see.

06:27 Thank goodness for Surabi,

06:29 for looking after him, grooming him.

06:31 And for calling mum,

06:33 letting the mums know where little Spotty was.

06:35 She really, she did a great job.

06:40 - Not only have all the cubs made it

06:41 to the end of the dry season.

06:43 - I can't get over this.

06:46 - But they finally properly met their fathers.

06:51 The punks are with them,

06:54 watching over the next generation of the MK pride

06:57 as they enter a new chapter in the Luangwa Valley.

07:01 - I think if anything, if the cubs are as strong as Spotty,

07:06 then they'll definitely make it

07:07 because he really survived against all odds.

07:10 - After months following the lions,

07:16 it's time for Nathan and Sam to leave.

07:19 - What an amazing season.

07:22 - It really has been.

07:23 I mean, we've got cubs, which we didn't expect.

07:26 - The boys coming in

07:29 and chasing all the prides all over the place.

07:31 (cubs growling)

07:35 - Yeah, let's hope that the Hollywoods do stick

07:37 with the nomads and we'll love to see Hollywood cubs.

07:40 It has been a season like no other

07:46 and I can't wait to see what happens next.
