Synopsis
On the plains of East Africa, the lion cubs are hungry. The female adults of the pride are away hunting, and the little ones are often left on their own without the protection of another adult. Soon the hunters will come home and the pride will eat at last. But in the meantime, the cubs' rough play will help prepare them for the day when they are big enough to join the hunt or go off to establish a pride of their own.
