Desperation pushes all these animals to the edge of their endurance, testing their survival skills. From NATURE. Episode 3, Salvation: Katavi's lush wetlands have been replaced by dusty plains. A rogue lion is trailing the lion pride. In these hellish conditions, the crocs succumb to a deadly virus. At last, the rains return to Katavi.
