Audiences will get to know the unique personalities of each of these endearing youngsters, including: Usana the cheetah cub, who fights off troublesome jackals; Ravi, the young lion-tailed macaque, who evades a deadly king cobra; Lyca the wild-dog pup, who helps her family track a huge antelope; Chinga the lion cub who forms a strong lifelong bond with her sister, and Chico the ingenious capuchin who learns how to use stone-age tools to open nuts.
