$Why Young Lions Get Kicked Out of Their Pride Watch Big Cats 24/7 🦁 ➡️ https://www.pbs.org/show/big-cats-247/ In this episode, young lions are taking their first steps into becoming adults. They’ve made it through a dangerous part of life, being a cub, where the odds are stacked against them. When male lions grow up, their presence is seen as a threat to their fathers. As they start growing larger, their manes start to appear, and they begin thinking about having cubs of their own, and this isn’t tolerated within the pride. And so it becomes time to leave and take on the world alone. And the new world they find themselves in is full of challenges they’ll need to overcome in order to lead their own prides one day. Things may not be as simple as they seem however. The Xudum pride is enormous, and how long it can continue growing without fracturing into pieces is unsure. Could this new generation of subadults be the trigger for the Xudum pride to split, or will they join the ranks in this huge and strong family? Big Cats Unleashed is a new exclusive series of short films exploring the Big Cats of Botswana. Featuring unseen moments and shots from Big Cats 24/7, Big Cats Unleashed builds upon the characters we’ve met, taking a deeper look into their lives. #lion #botswana ***** PBS Member Stations rely on viewers like you.
