The Big Cats 24/7 team begins a six-month expedition following lions, leopards and cheetahs in the Okavango Delta. A huge wildfire threatens the big cats, and the team.

A fight with intruders leaves the lion pride males injured and the mothers with cubs vulnerable to attack. Xudum the female leopard takes risks to find a mate.

The Okavango Delta is transformed by the arrival of the flood, bringing new challenges for the big cats. The lion cubs experience water and the danger it brings for the first time.

The Big Cats 24/7 team witnesses a baby boom in the Delta. Lioness Matho must protect her cubs alone; whilst leopard mum, Xudum, reveals her newborns with danger looming nearby.

Lion numbers continue to grow, but there’s not enough food to go around. A lioness mum risks her life to feed her five cubs. And Xudum’s newborn leopard cubs face a deadly threat.

The team returns to Okavango Delta to catch up with old friends. Lionesses hunt nonstop to feed growing cubs. New leopard mum Lediba steps into the spotlight. Pobe, the cheetah, returns with two cubs of her own

With the dominant males gone, trouble looms as intruder lions close in on the Xudum pride's young cubs. Leopard Lediba searches for her missing cub after a tense encounter, while Pobe the cheetah must defend her family's food from bigger cats

Under attack from a growing number of intruder male lions, the mums with young cubs must find the rest of the pride. Leopard mum Lediba risks it all for a meal, and the cheetah cubs face danger during a vital lesson in survival.

Reunited, the Xudum pride lionesses struggle to feed their young - one cub is starving. As male leopards are pushed closer together by rising floodwaters, leopard mum Lediba and cheetah mum Pobe each fight to keep their cubs alive.

The core of the Xudum lion pride has fled south, but a group of its young females surprises the team in the north. Meanwhile, tragedy strikes the cheetah mother, Pobe, and Lediba, the leopard, struggles to provide for her ever-growing cub.

A new generation of big cats rises in the Okavango Delta. First-time lion mum Serami protects her cubs while Mathata steps up to feed the pride. Pobe and Bo return, and as Lediba's cub grows in confidence, she vanishes.
