0:00:27 > 0:00:29Little Big Cat!
0:00:31 > 0:00:32Hello!
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Or jambo, as we say here.
0:00:36 > 0:00:41Welcome to the wide, grassy plains of Africa,
0:00:41 > 0:00:45and 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 > 0:00:52It's a land full of stories.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Many different animals live in this amazing place.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00There is so much space for them to explore,
0:01:00 > 0:01:06make friends, have adventures and sometimes get up to mischief.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12The crafty hyena is creeping past the lion,
0:01:12 > 0:01:14trying not to be noticed.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19The warthog is sneaking up on the baboon,
0:01:19 > 0:01:21who is hiding behind a tree!
0:01:21 > 0:01:27And the zebra are trying their best to catch each other's tails!
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Everyone is getting up to mischief in the Masai Mara.
0:01:32 > 0:01:33SQUEAK!
0:01:33 > 0:01:39But which of our Little Big Cats is getting up to mischief today?
0:01:39 > 0:01:44Will it be...the lazy lions?
0:01:44 > 0:01:47The speedy cheetahs?
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Or the lonesome leopards?
0:01:53 > 0:01:55It's my story!
0:01:55 > 0:01:57It's Kumi's story!
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Kumi, the lion cub.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Jambo, Kumi!
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Jambo!
0:02:04 > 0:02:08Everyday is a great day here in the Masai Mara.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12And I have a very special friend to share it with.
0:02:12 > 0:02:18This is Rambo. He's my cousin, and my very best friend.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21We are the youngest lions in the pride,
0:02:21 > 0:02:25so we spend most of our time together, playing
0:02:25 > 0:02:30and exploring...and sometimes getting up to mischief! Hee-hee!
0:02:33 > 0:02:38Rambo is a little...well, actually, a lot bigger than me,
0:02:38 > 0:02:40but we get on just fine.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46He's allowed to do more than I am, because he's older.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48But that's OK.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52I love spending my days with him when I can.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57He's just as playful as me, ha-ha!
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Sometimes, Rambo gets a little rough when we play.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09I don't think he means to,
0:03:09 > 0:03:11he just forgets how small I am.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13And it never hurts.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18So...I brush myself off and get on with it.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20It toughens me up.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Rambo's calling me now.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27I think he wants us to go for a walk.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28ROAR!
0:03:28 > 0:03:30I'm coming, Rambo!
0:03:30 > 0:03:32ROAR!
0:03:32 > 0:03:34We're not going too far, are we?
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Hey, Rambo!
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Where are you?!
0:03:42 > 0:03:45You're always doing this - just disappearing!
0:03:46 > 0:03:51You might be allowed this far, but my Mama won't be too happy with me!
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Rambo?
0:03:53 > 0:03:54RAMBO?
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Oh! What are they?
0:03:58 > 0:04:00I bet Rambo knows.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Ooh! There you are.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06PLAYFUL GROWLING
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Did you see those big animals?
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Look! Over there.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Those with the big horns.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Ohhh, they're buffalo.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21My Mama told me all about them.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Rambo, what was it my Mama said?
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Hmm...no, can't remember.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32They're pretty big.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Actually, the closer we get,
0:04:36 > 0:04:38the bigger they get!
0:04:39 > 0:04:44They look a bit scary, and I don't think we should be this close!
0:04:46 > 0:04:48That was what my Mama said,
0:04:48 > 0:04:50don't get close! Whoops.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57Rambo! You've got me in trouble again.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Do you think they saw us?
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Rambo!
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Where have you gone?!
0:05:08 > 0:05:09Not again!
0:05:10 > 0:05:14This is not a good time to be disappearing.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Oh, there you are.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Phew. OK, stay exactly where you are.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24You blend in with the grass!
0:05:24 > 0:05:28I'm just going to hide in here until they all go away.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Right. Think what Mama said.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39Umm...don't get too close to big scary animals...
0:05:40 > 0:05:43well, it's a bit late for that one!
0:05:43 > 0:05:47Stay well hidden - yep, doing that. Keep quiet.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48(I'll try!)
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Rambo!
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Oh! (Rambo!)
0:05:53 > 0:05:54Are they leaving yet?
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Is it safe for me to come out?
0:06:00 > 0:06:05I'll just poke my head out and see if the big buffalo are still there.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Yep, they're still there.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Ohhh, I think I'm stuck here! There's so many of them!
0:06:16 > 0:06:18I'm going to have to sneak away.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Be very quiet - shhh!
0:06:24 > 0:06:27They're walking away! That's good.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32I can hear something!
0:06:32 > 0:06:33GRUNT!
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Rambo? Is that you?
0:06:35 > 0:06:37SQUEAK!
0:06:37 > 0:06:38GRUNT!
0:06:38 > 0:06:40It's my Mama!
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Oh, Mama! It's so good to see you!
0:06:44 > 0:06:47It was Rambo that made me come out this far.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49I just followed him!
0:06:49 > 0:06:53But we hid away from the buffalo, just like you told us to.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57And you were right, they are very scary!
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Come on, Rambo, let's go home.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08There are no big scary animals to stop us playing at home.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11And my Mama will be close by.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Kumi's Mama takes them safely back home.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Past the wildebeest,
0:07:19 > 0:07:20and the zebra,
0:07:20 > 0:07:22and home to safety.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27The Masai Mara is a big, big place for Little Big Cats.
0:07:27 > 0:07:32Kumi and Rambo love exploring and getting up to mischief!
0:07:32 > 0:07:36That's all a part of growing up, but they have to be very careful
0:07:36 > 0:07:39not to wander too far from home.
0:07:39 > 0:07:44Hey! That's better. I know where we are now.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45GRUNT!
0:07:45 > 0:07:47SQUEAK!
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Come on, Rambo, let's play!
0:07:55 > 0:07:57A-ha, there they go again!
0:07:57 > 0:08:02Chasing, catching, wrestling and rolling around together.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Kumi and Rambo really are the best of friends.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10And what an amazing adventure-playground to grow up in.
0:08:10 > 0:08:15Kumi seems to have got over his scary meeting with the buffalo.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17He's too busy having fun!
0:08:17 > 0:08:18SQUEAK!
0:08:18 > 0:08:21I can't wait until tomorrow.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Another day of fun with my very best friend.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28Now Kumi and Rambo are safely back home,
0:08:28 > 0:08:31it's time for us to say goodbye.
0:08:31 > 0:08:36Kwaheri, from the wide, grassy plains of Africa.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Goodbye, hyena!
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Kwaheri, hyena!
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Goodbye, warthog.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Kwaheri, warthog.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Goodbye, Rambo!
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Kwaheri, Rambo!
0:08:55 > 0:08:57And goodbye, Kumi.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Kwaheri!
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Africa is a land full of stories.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Whose story will we hear next time?
