Episode 1: Follows Lion Cub
Have you ever found yourself wondering what would it be like to be a wild baby??
Guess, now you can understand.
Wild Babies, from the BBC Studios, follows the life journey of baby animals as they learn how to survive in their natural habitat.
Note: The series is also made available to stream on Netflix.
The first episode of the series dives into the life of lion cubs just after they’re born. Starting from their most vulnerable state. Where they look up to their parents to protect them. Before they grow big enough to protect themselves.
- One of Africa’s most recognizable species is the lion. In addition, you will also find plenty of other wild babies featured in Wild Babies. Some of the animals are:
- Pangolins
- Penguins
- Elephants
- Peregrine Falcons
They all will make their appearances throughout the season. Offering you an intimate look into their life, each episode shows us how these little ones venture out into their territory.
Along the way, we hopefully wish for them to avoid being eaten by predators.
