After six months away, the "Big Cats 24/7" photography team returns to the Okavango Delta to film Africa's lions, leopards and cheetahs. In the dry season, with older cubs to feed, the lionesses must hunt around the clock. Leopardess Xudum moves away, so the team focuses on new leopard mum Lediba. Pobe the cheetah returns with two cubs of her own.

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.
