Wild Animal Families Compete in Zambia

In Zambia's South Luangwa National Park, a gripping drama unfolds. Four animal families—leopards, hyenas, wild dogs, and lions—fight for survival. This isn't a scripted show; it's real life. Over five years, these families battle for territory, raise their young, and test family bonds. Think of it as "Game of Thrones" but with real animals. The star-studded cast includes leopards Olimba and her daughter Mutima, wild dog matriarch Storm, lioness Rita, and hyena clan leader Tenta. Their stories are captured in a new BBC series called "Kingdom. " Sir David Attenborough narrates this wild saga. Want to watch? It's easy. In the U.
