At a national park in Kenya, English game warden George Adamson and his wife, Joy, care for three orphaned lion cubs. After the two larger lions are shipped off to a zoo in the Netherlands, the smallest of the three, Elsa, stays with the couple.

《非洲貓科》是一部講述發生在非洲平原上的一個有關野生動物的真實故事的影片。由塞繆爾·傑克遜（Samuel L. Jackson）擔任旁白。 影片的主角是兩個家庭，三隻大型貓科動物，分別是未成年的母獅瑪拉、成年雄獅毒牙以及雌性非洲獵豹希塔。他們在非洲平原上的愛、對族群的忠誠、獵食、離家、成長以及爭鬥和死亡組成了一部波瀾壯闊的野生動物的史詩。瑪拉是一隻未成年的小母獅，只有6個月大。它的母親萊亞正在用盡渾身解數照顧自己的女兒。瑪拉活潑好動，是河岸獅群中的乖寶寶，它的母親萊亞是獅群中最有經驗的獵手。不過一次意外的負傷終結了萊亞「捕獵能手」的地位。母親的地位岌岌可危，形單影隻的瑪拉也暴漏在了獅群的危險之中。而瑪拉也只有盡快學會捕獵才能鞏固自己在獅群中的地位並且填飽雄獅和自己的肚子。可是時日無多，母親身負重傷，它未來的生活還是一個問號。而且，另一個獅群中的雄獅在就開始算計著這對母女了。 成年雄獅毒牙是獅群的首領，它得此名稱的原因是在一次打鬥中，它失去了自己的一顆犬齒，現在只有一顆犬齒孤零零地留在它的嘴裡。不過這並不是毒牙最大的心患，他的首領地位正在受到另一個獅群的覬覦。覬覦毒牙獅群和地盤的是凱利，它和它的同伴們住在河流的北岸，雖然有屬於自己的領地，但是大型貓科動物的一個特性就是爭奪地盤。它們一次一次地試探毒牙的實力，一次一次地妄圖擴張自己的版圖。在崇尚絕對力量的自然界，軟弱、負傷的毒牙還有保護自己獅群的可能性麼？它虛弱的肢體是不是正在一步一步地把獅群推向險境的邊緣？ 希塔是一隻漂亮的非洲獵豹，它是一個單親媽媽，膝下有幾個孩子。尚未成年的這些小傢伙還沒有意識到自然界的危險。而希塔只有孤零零地複雜打獵和照料自己的孩子。為了找到吃的東西，它不得不長途跋涉去找食物。可能離開家太久、太遠，對於並不擅長長跑的獵豹而言並不是一個好主意……
Drama based loosely on the final years of Kenya game warden and lion-raiser George Adamson's life. An unofficial sequel to 'Born Free' (1966) and 'Living Free' (1972), which also dramatized the life of Adamson, this film picks up the life of George on the African wildlife preserve he runs with the help of his brother Terrence. When drifter Tony Fitzjohn arrives to work for the old men he initially takes poorly to the task, almost savaged by a lion on his first day and on the verge of leaving when he hears that his predecessor was killed in a similar incident. The arrival of a lion cub that Fitzjohn must care for and raise changes everything. Soon he finds himself helping the brothers in their fight to save lions - and, ultimately, the park itself - from the poachers, soldiers and corrupt government officials that threaten them.
The Tortoise composed a song and the Lion cub learnt it by heart and they sang it together.
When Elsa's three mischievious cubs begin wreaking havok on the nearby villages, Joy and her husband are forced to move them hundreds of miles to a game preserve.
