S1E1 - Nine Cubs
A random meeting of two cheetah mothers and their nine cubs results in a fusion of these two families into one. From that point onwards, these animals find themselves under pressures and circumstances no other cheetah family has faced before. This is a story of dueling mothers, Chilli and Inara, who nonetheless nurse each other’s cubs. It’s a story of cubs preferentially switching mothers. It’s the story of their struggle to survive the harsh rules of wild Africa.

S1E2 - Struggle to Survive
With growing cubs, the pressure is on the mothers to hunt daily to feed their brood. The cubs are now 4-5 months old and beginning to explore their world. Inevitably, they confront many dangers and hardships. Now the two mothers face the greatest struggle possible: to keep their nine cubs alive against terrible odds. The challenge pushes them into behaviour not normally seen by cheetahs – like hunting at night.
