Watch Nature: Born Wild, the First Days of Life at 7 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 30 on Wisconsin Public Television.
We can all admit that few things are as adorable as baby animals. They’re cute and they’re cuddly. But in the wild, they can also face a treacherous existence in their earliest days. This episode of Nature explores the earliest interactions of baby animals in their native environments. While the program includes plenty of adorable baby animal footage, it also covers some very serious moments in a young animal’s first days.
The sneak-preview segment below outlines one such moment when a group of new lion cubs faces the prospect of not gaining acceptance into their pride.
