Series 3: 1. Refuge



At a beautiful lake, populated by dancing flamingos and surrounded by lush green plains and majestic rocky outcrops, the families try to take advantage of the seasonal riches while they last. \n\nBakari, the baboon, has moved his troop to a stone fortress that rises above the plains. This rock kopje provides sanctuary until a rival baboon picks a fight with Bakari. For Bakari, the stakes are high. If he loses, he will be deposed as leader and his troop will be in turmoil.\n\nKali, the lioness, has given birth to some adorable new cubs. She has found refuge in a new pride, but hidden dangers lie in wait when her curious cubs explore the rocky terrain. When they come across an eagle owl chick, its parents launch an attack. Kali saves her cubs but is knocked from the kopje by one of the owls. Somehow, they must be reunited. \n\nZalika, the hyena, finds new hunting opportunities at the spectacular flamingo lake. As she races through the water, chasing the crimson flocks, she finds catching them is not as easy as it looks. Duma, the adventurous cheetah cub, is still with his family but eager for independence. In his efforts to prove himself, he too tries his luck with the flamingos, but it doesn’t go well. \n\nUtani, the mongoose, is the first new character to make an appearance. His role is to act as babysitter for one of the new pups and teach her everything he knows. He gets off to a bad start when he oversleeps on his first day on the job. Things go from bad to worse when he meets Duma and the cheetah family. He and the pup find themselves surrounded. Will the mongoose team come to their rescue?
