THE CHEETAH ORPHANS:
In one of NATURE's most moving episodes, veteran wildlife filmmaker Simon King assumes the parenting responsibilities for two cheetah cubs after a lion kills their mother. You'll experience the joy, heartbreak, triumph, and tragedy as Simon introduces three-month-old cubs, Toki and Sambu, to the skills they will need to survive in the wild. It is a life-changing experience for them all, as Simon becomes deeply attached to the orphans and must make difficult, yet critical decisions that will determine their fate.
THE DESERT LIONS:
Lions once lived in the forbidding Namib Desert, but 20 years ago, they disappeared. Are they staging a comeback? Join carnivore specialist, Dr. Philip (Flip) Stander as he pits himself against the desert, driven by the belief that these magnificent lions have returned! Rarely seen and little understood, these desert lions exhibit out of the ordinary behavior in their struggle to cope with the extremes of living in the world's oldest desert. Academy Award -winner F. Murray Abraham narrates.
