The white sisters are hungry and pestering their mother to hunt again then something catches their eye vultures they've spotted a leopard with a fresh kill a tall tree is the best place to keep it safe the Young Lions have learned that where there are vultures there's often an easy meal to steal if they can scare off the owner the Cubs spent their youth climbing trees now they have their reward.

The white cub is not as graceful as a leopard but she still gets what she wants now it's Kanye's turn but it's not so simple for a full-grown adult she can't climb like the Cubs but she can leap after all that her reward is one very thin leg it's the Tawny young male's turn he now weighs as much as Kanye only great strength will get him up this tree he is as Nimble as a leopard and gets a choice cut of the meal and provides a nice morsel for his mother;

This tree climbing skill will serve him well he won't have matimbo or Kanye to hunt for him when he leaves the pride stealing leopard kills could help him survive the hard times it's June in South Africa a special date for The Pride.

The white cubs are two years old and almost fully grown they've survived all the perils and all the challenges of growing up Wild they also have a new home range far away from the nomads a place called classier yeah it's rich in game.

They took down a buffalo in the night but once again hyenas are onto them welcome a brave white cub is ready to take them on one hyena she can handle but a whole clan is a different kind of challenge she moves to confront them with a confident Swagger just like her mother no longer a cub right from the start she takes charge intimidating the hyenas she scuffs the ground claiming ownership of this territory this her mother once showed her foreign.

She is so confident She lays down the hyenas mistake this for weakness and move forward they come at her from all sides 13 hyenas she lets them come and then it's her turn the hyenas know they will not get past this lion at sundown the hyenas are suddenly spooked and flee it's a large male and he's heading for the pride offend her family;

This male is new he's not one of the nomads he calls a greeting not a threat matimba keeps up the aggressive defense and moves forward to intimidate him but he doesn't want to fight a white youngster who's pretty intimidating herself is there to support her mother now the whole Pride moves up to join with matimba the hyenas helped themselves to the unguarded carcass time to get back to their meal before the hyenas devour it all.

Matimba seems to know this male is not like the others so she returns to her pride and allows the male to follow her the family is still on high alert but he isn't here to attack them he's here to woo them but first he will sample the fruits of their hunting foreign it will take some time before he wins their trust but the family now has a big adult male to help defend them by the time summer returns to Krueger the new male has secured his place with the white pride.

Kanye is the first lioness to mate a new chapter is now beginning for the white pride foreign’s new Cubs will be arriving soon the Tawny cousin will set out on his own and the white sisters have a whole new life ahead of them.

They're the first white lions to reach maturity in the wild in more than two decades their success so far has been remarkable they began as scruffy little cubs and grew into fine young lionesses for the past two years they struggled to survive Krueger's Fierce wilderness and the challenges of their white coats but;

They've had two amazing lionesses looking out for them teaching them everything they know their future will soon depend on their own abilities their own teamwork and their own wisdom will they be strong Hunters raising their own Cubs in the years to come the story of Krueger's white lions is just beginning..
