P’s Cubs sharpen their survival skills

The Savage Kingdom is a dangerous place for young cubs like P’s. They must learn to survive on their own while their mother hunts away from home. However, freedom comes with its own set of risks, as the cubs soon find out when they encounter baboons, merciless killers.

The boy races for cover as his sister takes a different route, only to realize that even climbing trees won’t keep them safe from the baboons. Forced by the drought to travel further in search of food for her cubs, PFO is well beyond earshot when she senses danger and rushes back, only to find her daughter trapped.

Time Heals All Wounds

As the land turns to dust and the struggle for survival continues, T and her sister teach the teenagers to hunt with a special respect for the warthog. The boys study the sisters’ every move, learning the art of hunting and quelling their pangs of hunger.

Wame leads her pack north, away from the hyenas and into the water-filled flood plains, where they bathe in success. However, leading her pack straight into lion country proves to be a dangerous move, as the lions punish trespassers.

Over My Dead Body

Sebbie and her sister are in perfect sync as they sow claim to Mambo’s duwel in the crowded water. The Cubs can’t wait to fill their bellies and enjoy their first taste of meat, proving that joining her sister was the right thing to do for Sebbie.

Finally, PFO can breathe easy as the search for prey takes her far from home, and she longs to get back to her cubs. She is anxious to check on them and make sure they are well-fed, willing to sacrifice anything for the good of her precious cubs.

Rain Brings Solace to All

As the rain finally quenches the land’s bitter thirst, PFO can enjoy a time of plenty with her two precious cubs, while Tata takes on the challenge of hunting enormous buffalo alone, luring them in for a banquet for her hungry pride.

The teens prove their worth under Tata’s guidance and transform their broken pride into a mighty dynasty, matching the inspiring reign of Sebbie as they all rule over their own promised land.

Survival in the Savage Kingdom is a constant struggle, but these stories of survival, sacrifice, and triumph give hope that even in the harshest conditions, life can prevail.
