The North Clan of hyena are not new to the gauntlet of the wild. Lead by their aging matriarch Waffles, the clan have prospered on the plains. But Waffles is nearing the end of her reign as hyena queen and her granddaughter Soup is next in line for the throne. Soup however, has some competition for a different and lower ranking female, Sauer. Will the Waffles bloodline continue to reign as queens of the clan, or will Sauer throw a coup and take the throne for herself? Don't miss safariLIVE: The Gauntlet staring on Friday, 27 July at 11 pm EDT on Nat Geo WILD. You can also catch safariLIVE: The Gauntlet on the safariLIVE YouTube channel as well as on natgeo.com/Safarilive.
