In an early morning breakfast scene we are introduced to Marlices family - Rudie, her husband, and Zacheo, their sun. After breakfast Zacheo helps Marlice to carry the litter of 14 African Wild Dog pups from the house where they had spent the night to an enclosure on the lawn. Here they are weighed and micro-chipped. Zacheo leaves for school where he meets up with his Bushman friends. A new orphaned baby baboon with a foot injury arrives at Naankuse and Marlice treats her in the clinic after which she and Johannes, one of her helpers feed and take the three caracals for a walk in the veldt. Back at home the two five-month old leopard cubs are causing havoc in the house - they are beginning to be a threat to Zacheo, who is on his way home from school. When he arrives home the door is closed and Marlice arrives just in time. She and Johannes put the two cubs in transport cages. Quick look-back at the caracals, meerkats and wild dog pups - all happy! Quick throw-forward to Episode 2
