EPISODE 03: Big Cat Diary Uncut – '2000: The Rise and Fall of Scar & the Story of Solo the Lion Cub'

Welcome to The Big Cat People podcast! We're Jonathan and Angela Scott, award-winning wildlife photographers, authors and conservationists. We've have made our name documenting the lives of lions, leopards and cheetahs in the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya.

Today's episode is named '2000: The Rise and Fall of Scar & the Story of Solo the Lion Cub', and it is the third episode in our ten part series named 'Big Cat Diary Uncut'. Join us in this episode as we follow the Big Cat Diary team and their experiences during the momentous times in 2000. The Marsh Pride is faced with challenges as Scar battles to remain with the pride after the death of his companion, Scruffy. A severe drought causes a large influx of wildebeest and zebra in the area while two of the core females are killed by Maasai herdsmen. Only three adult lionesses remain, along with eight subadults. Topi Plains pride males Blondie and Simba invade the Marsh Pride's territory, and a new territorial male, Droopy Jaw, causes trouble for Zawadi and Safi. The season ends on a heart-wrenching note as Solo, a three-month-old lion cub, goes missing, and his mother and the Big Cat Diary team search for him. Tune in to hear all about these gripping events.
