0:00:27 > 0:00:29Little Big Cat!
0:00:31 > 0:00:35Hello! Or jambo, as we say here.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39Welcome to the wide, grassy plains of Africa,
0:00:39 > 0:00:43and a very special place called the Masai Mara.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49This is home to all of our Little Big Cats
0:00:49 > 0:00:52and it's a land full of stories.
0:00:54 > 0:00:59Each family has their own special home here.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03They nosy mongooses live low down, in the tree stump...
0:01:06 > 0:01:11..while the eagle lives high up in the treetop...
0:01:14 > 0:01:19..and the big, scaly crocodile lives in the cool, muddy river.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23The Little Big Cats have their special homes too.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27Whose story are we going to follow today?
0:01:27 > 0:01:31Will it be the lazy lions?
0:01:31 > 0:01:35The speedy cheetahs?
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Or the lonesome leopards?
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Oh! It's the leopard cub, Jua!
0:01:44 > 0:01:47And his sister, Paka.
0:01:48 > 0:01:49Jambo, Jua!
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Jambo!
0:01:51 > 0:01:55I love playing tig with my sister.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59I usually win, because she's so easy to catch.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03This is our Mama, Kesi.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07She's the best Mama in the whole wide world.
0:02:07 > 0:02:13Today's special, cos Mama's taking us on an adventure to find ourselves
0:02:13 > 0:02:15a new, bigger home.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17And I'm going to help.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23Mama Kesi and her cubs have a long, hot journey ahead of them.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25I hope they'll be OK.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Wait for me, Mama!
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Leopards are very private.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34Their new home will have to be well hidden,
0:02:34 > 0:02:37where no one can find them.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40It's so exciting!
0:02:40 > 0:02:42I wonder what animals we'll see.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Look, Paka! There's a crocodile sunbathing.
0:02:47 > 0:02:52Wow! What big teeth he has!
0:02:52 > 0:02:55The cubs will have to be careful,
0:02:55 > 0:02:57and catch up with Mama.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02Wait!
0:03:02 > 0:03:06That looks like a good home over there, Mama.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09What about in here?
0:03:09 > 0:03:11No one will see us in here.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Oh! What's that over there?
0:03:20 > 0:03:23I spy someone climbing through the grass.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26It's got a very long tail.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29It looks a bit like a monkey.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Can you see it, Paka?
0:03:33 > 0:03:35It's a baboon.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40In fact, it's a whole troop of baboons!
0:03:40 > 0:03:41HE LAUGHS
0:03:43 > 0:03:47They've got really bouncy, springy legs -
0:03:47 > 0:03:49look at them jumping!
0:03:50 > 0:03:53The baboons are coming over here, Mama!
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Can we stay and play? Pleeease?
0:04:00 > 0:04:03This is a great home by the river,
0:04:03 > 0:04:07but it's already taken, as the baboon family live here.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09The leopards can't stay.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15Mama Kesi and her cubs will just have to keep on searching!
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Ohhh! I liked it with the baboons.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24When will we find our new home?
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Look, Mama!
0:04:30 > 0:04:31A brilliant tree!
0:04:31 > 0:04:35What about this for our new home?
0:04:35 > 0:04:37I can climb right to the top.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Wow! What a great view.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44I can see all the other animals.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Leopards are very good climbers,
0:04:48 > 0:04:51but Mama Kesi does not think this is a good home.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Ohhh! Mama!
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Will we ever find our new home?
0:05:02 > 0:05:07This is such a long journey, and I'm getting tired, Mama.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10And my paws are so sore.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Are we there yet?
0:05:29 > 0:05:34Ahh, it looks like Mama Kesi might have spotted the perfect home.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39A nice, shady spot, next to the river bank.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42It looks like a great home!
0:05:42 > 0:05:45But how are we ever going to get up there?!
0:05:45 > 0:05:48And how will we cross the river?
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Oh! Good jump, Mama.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56My turn...
0:05:56 > 0:05:59er...I'm not sure about this.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Eurgh! My paws are all wet!
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Made it, Mama!
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Come on, Paka!
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Look at Mama, climbing the very steep bank.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29Wow, that's a long way up.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30It's so high!
0:06:33 > 0:06:34Well done, Paka!
0:06:34 > 0:06:37You're such a great climber too.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42Is it fun up there?
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Don't forget me, Mama.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48I'm going to climb up too.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Huh! Ohhh!
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Oh, I can do this. Come on.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59MIAOW! MIAOW!
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Try again.
0:07:01 > 0:07:02Come on - huh!
0:07:04 > 0:07:05Oohhh!
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Ohh, come on!
0:07:09 > 0:07:10I can do it!
0:07:12 > 0:07:14I'm doing it!
0:07:15 > 0:07:17I'm...doing it...
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Oh, it's such a steep climb.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24I did it! I did it, Mama!
0:07:24 > 0:07:25I climbed to the top!
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Wow, what a fantastic view!
0:07:33 > 0:07:34This is a great home.
0:07:34 > 0:07:39There's lots of grass for us to play and hide in.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41And no one can see us here!
0:07:43 > 0:07:48Finally, the leopards have found their perfect new home.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51What an adventurous day for Jua!
0:07:52 > 0:07:53He's met baboons...
0:07:56 > 0:07:59..and crocodiles...
0:07:59 > 0:08:01climbed trees...
0:08:03 > 0:08:07..and walked a very, very long way.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Now he's very happy to be in his new home with his family.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Wow! Mama, I love it here.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18It's great. You're the best!
0:08:26 > 0:08:31Little Jua must be tired now, so it's time to say goodbye.
0:08:31 > 0:08:36Kwaheri from the wide, grassy plains of Africa.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Goodbye, mongooses!
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Kwaheri, mongooses!
0:08:42 > 0:08:46- Goodbye, eagle. - Kwaheri, eagle.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Goodbye, crocodile.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Kwaheri, crocodile.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Goodbye, Jua.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Kwaheri!
