00:02 The pride wanders off.

00:07 He's forgotten by his mother, brothers, and cousins,

00:21 even by the teenagers.

00:24 (gentle music)

00:54 Once the adult lions are gone,

00:56 the other animals relax a bit

00:59 and are curious about this little lone lion.

01:01 (gentle music)

01:14 (water dripping)

01:43 Too late, he realizes he needs his pride

01:47 and misses his mother.

03:16 Alone and lost, calling for his family is not a good idea.

03:21 Others may hear.

03:46 Even hippos kill cubs occasionally.

03:49 They may be vegetarians, but they're by no means harmless.

03:53 The little misfit doesn't panic.

03:57 He's naturally a loner.

03:59 The cub comes near Impala and Puku.

04:05 Best to stay still and just listen with the listeners.

04:15 In the quiet, a nocturnal cast emerges,

04:19 a timid savannah hare,

04:21 and a musky genet, a cousin of the mongoose.

04:28 Much more dangerous, the local leopard.

04:43 Lions and leopards are locked in an ancient rivalry.

04:46 Both kill each other's cubs if they find them.

05:10 One instinctive response to extreme fear in animals

05:15 is to shut down the body, even lose consciousness.

05:19 It's called a syncope response.

05:21 20 yards away from the cub, the leopard pauses.

05:40 The genet approaches.

05:42 The leopard isn't distracted, locked onto the cub.

06:10 A hippo breaks the spell.

06:11 Hippos may hate leopards,

06:16 but are unlikely lifesavers for lion cubs.

06:59 The teenagers have had their meal

07:27 and lost a skirmish with hyenas.

07:30 They're in the mood for more mayhem.

07:32 There's not much hunting strategy yet.

07:44 Just run at them.

07:45 (elk bugles)

07:48 Missed again.

08:09 But just behind the teenager, the cub.

08:16 (elk bugles)

08:18 He's found his pride.

08:43 (elk bugles)

08:46 It's a rough reunion.

08:53 (gentle music)

08:58 (elk bugles)

09:00 The adolescents are away from the main pride.

09:24 He's in as much danger with them as he was alone.

09:27 (gentle music)

09:30 Mouths watering, their tentative nips cover him with saliva.

09:39 (elk bugles)

09:42 It's not in his character to fight back.

09:52 (gentle music)

09:54 Their hunting instincts, their frustrations

10:19 could claim a first kill.

10:22 One of their own.

10:24 The cub, equally confused, tries to suckle.

10:34 (gentle music)

10:43 (elk bugles)

10:46 The young males grow increasingly hostile.

11:10 The misfits desperate to get away.

11:13 It's only going to get worse.

11:15 (elk bugles)

11:24 His mother is out looking for him.

12:35 (elk bugles)

12:47 (dramatic music)

12:50 Few cubs would have survived this night.

13:13 But there's something about this little loner

13:17 that defies the odds.
