Cheetah mom Pobe brings down an impala in a dramatic chase, but instead of finishing the kill, she lets it go. It’s no mistake. This is a crucial hunting lesson for her cubs, Kia and Bo.
Kia takes the lead with growing confidence, while Bo hesitates, unsure of the next move. Together, the cubs chase the impala and experience the thrill of the hunt for themselves. For these young cheetahs, it marks an important milestone in their journey toward independence and survival.

Big Cats 24/7
Season Two sees the return of a familiar cast of human and big cat characters. The expert team of cinematographers — Gordon Buchanan, Anna Dimitriadis, Brad Bestelink, Sets Nthomiwa, Rea Schulte to Brinke, Greg Hartman and Tristen Woodward — live and work together from the Natural History Film Unit, Botswana’s remote film camp in the heart of big cat territory. Together, they follow the twists and turns in the lives of key, named big cats, introduced in Season One. Across five vital months, cats — and humans — battle punishing seasonal change, from flood to extreme drought. Over brutal terrain, in searing temperatures and through day and night, the team keeps its cameras rolling 24/7 to capture unparalleled, unseen animal behavior. State-of-the-art thermal cameras, and the latest in drone technology, mean the team can film the cats from the ground, the air and, uniquely, through the night, revealing yet more brand-new insights into their lives.
