Plot
African Cats, referred to as a “true life adventure”, tells the true story of two families of animals in nature by using real life footage. The film centers on a young lion cub named Mara who are raised by his mother, Layla, a cheetah named Sita mother who is raising five babies, and Fang, the leader of a pride to defend his family a lion in exile.

With so many species competing for space and food in the bush, animals must find the best way to survive.

The puppy at 6 months old, Mara, wants to follow her mother Layla steps. Layla suffers a serious injury in a fight with other animals, making it more difficult for her to tend to Mara. As a result of the injury, Mara faces an uncertain future and his loyalty to his mother in question is.

Another character, Sita adult cheetah tries to protect their newborn pups of the various dangers of the savannah. She regularly has to leave her cubs to hunt food, risking the possibility of being attacked by lions, hyenas, cheetahs adult males, and other large mammals. On the other hand, Fang, the leader of the pack, has recently broken tooth in a fight with another animal. A rival group of lions led by a lion named Kali are trying to dethrone Fang Fang and must show that is still king.

Life in the bush is full of hardship and eager competitors, but all animals must find a way to survive. Although the three stories take place in the African savannah, each adventure operates independently of each other.
