Safari Live - Day 304 | National Geographic

[Music] This program features live coverage of an African safari and may include animal kills and caucuses. Viewer discretion is advised.

Hello everyone, and a very warm welcome to a sunset drive. We are in the Mara Triangle in Kenya, and we have that beautiful tree out in the savanna. Well, my name is David; that has not changed, and with me in cameras is Bunga. Bunga, good afternoon!

So, this comes up—so, camera men always confuse me sometimes. They do that; sometimes they do that; sometimes they do that. And the only one I understand is one gentleman, South Africa's Senzo, because since we're used to this man, when I ask "invite that hit on me," he got three daughters, and I think about triplets.

Welcome to the Mara Triangle, and it's not a warm day but a hot day. I do not know whether you can see a bit of shimmering from where we are, as we show you the savanna. It is 88 degrees Fahrenheit, and for those who love the metric system, 31 degrees centigrade! That's, to me, by any standard, too hot. And if that doesn't sound very good for me, because I would guess most of the cats, unlike the big animals, could be lazing somewhere in shade until the heat cools off.

Remember, we usually come to you live in direct, and we always request you to ask us as many questions as you can. Should you have any nice comments, like saying "Wow, that's beautiful Savannah," please do send them through #safariLive on Twitter. I think I've done very well in terms of housekeeping, and I just want you to enjoy that view of what I would call the Mara savanna of the Mara Triangle in Kenya.

Exactly! And yeah, I mean, the final control says this one is one landscape that you'll not, or it cannot be matched by anybody else. When we will go to Juma, you will notice always the vegetation is very different. I was struck talking to Gary the other day, telling him, "I think with a good brain, oculus is here in the Mara; you can see an elephant ten kilometers away," which is very possible. But well, in Juma, it's very tricky boots. Here, an elephant one hundred meters away, you'll always be very, very lucky.

Now, you notice how tall the grass is, and that tall grass you see is called the red oat grass. It will get taller and taller until the wildebeest will come to mow it down in the next maybe six or seven months or thereabout.

Well, out here in the African wilderness, I'm not the only one, and there's a beautiful girl by the name of Jamie who would like to say maybe something like a "jumbo jumbo" to all of you.

David might be able to see across ten kilometers on a nice clear day in the Maasai Mara. I drove past these wild dogs the first time, I have to turn around and come and double-check the area before we finally spotted them. But spot that we did! A very good afternoon to all of you. My name is Jamie, and this afternoon Sebastian is on camera with me, and he didn't see them either. The first time we drove past, it was really very, very embarrassing.

We're coming to you live from Juma Private Game Reserve, which is in the Greater Kruger National Park area of South Africa. Right here's what everybody needs to do: we need to all hope like absolute crazy that these doggies decide to stick around and stay in Juma right up until half past seven, at which point they can, if they wish, depart. But up and until that moment, they absolutely have to stay here, preferably not in that tree.

Though they are hidden beneath such dense vegetation that they are almost impossible to see, and I suppose I should call them in on the game drive radio. I haven't yet, but I'll get to that in a little. But we've only just found them. We owe Ali, Holly, and Lauren and Trishula this particular wild dog sighting, as they were out earlier scouting for animals, and they came upon these wild dogs. One of them actually barked at them, because they were looking for their tracks to try and figure out where they went on foot.

There we go! We have our collection of incredibly flat, incredibly well-hidden wild dogs to keep us entertained. And the thing is, as Seb and I know, at least they're breathing, given how much dust they have on their noses. Yes, they're all definitely breathing and panting away quite happily. It is muggy, Seb, you're right! I know I was wondering; I said for saying it was so warm, and we had to drive a bit. But actually, it is really muggy, sweaty weather.

It's not that hot. I don't think Juma's that hot today, but it is very, very humid. I assume it's the same pack that Tristan had this morning. In fact, I'm not even going to say I assume; I know it is the same pack as wild dogs that Tristan had this morning, which would make it—the Ambala pack is what I was actually going to say.

All the interesting breakaways—we probably, I imagine, will not be calling them the investing breakaways tonight on #safariLive. Look at those enormous ears! I know, spoiled dogs twice in a day—we're hoping for other things as well.

We've been, Seb and I, won the lucky draw here. The dogs are the only animals that we know of that have been found so far today, and we got sent here immediately because we've got the special thermal camera; we've got the FLIR, so we're feeling thoroughly spoiled. We drew the long straw; we got very lucky.

It does make sense of the thermal camera though, in case they decide to vanish into the darkness, which is going to be almost impossible for us to keep up. Right now, it's very hard to imagine these dogs racing around, but they absolutely do, I promise.

Well, speaking of someone who presumably isn't racing around quite as fast as wild dog—off you pop to James so he can say hello.

Now, I'm not racing around; I'm placed on a Sunday. Hello everybody, welcome to the Sunday afternoon, Sunday Safari sunset safari. I don't know why I have to say it like that, but we are on. There's an emerald spotted Wood Dove, but with a very long tail. Sorry everyone, welcome to the scene of the sunset safari.

Marvis, that's all with us. We are on our way down the Henry Ford's bonanza to see if we can find Hasanah or some other form of spotted cat. There it is, you see it flying there, everybody? I'm just going to—mmm, it's flown over the road. No, Mac, it definitely looks like an animal spotted Wood Dove! Stand by! I'll find your picture!

Please ask us any questions you'd like to using the hashtags #safariLive on Twitter. Otherwise, of course, the YouTube chat stream will work just as effectively. You might get lost in the chatter, so I'd suggest Twitter, you know it certainly in the first part of the drive because what will happen in the beginning of the drive is I'll get back to your thoughts that have just been said to me.

Because of course, all of you are greeting each other currently in the chat, which means that any biological query is lost in amongst all of you saying hello to each other, which is very friendly of course, but possibly not the best for questions. And I'm not saying you should stop saying "Hello" to each other; it's very nice to see.

Right, the Namaqua dove is this fellow here, number five. And you can see it looks a little bit like an emerald spotted Wood Dove; it's got little purplish spots. I actually didn't realize that and the long tail—that's definitely what we had.

Interestingly, they are much more common in drier areas than they are in these. I hesitate to call this a wet area—would you expect them to find them in the dry areas of the Kruger? And that doesn't really bode well because, of course, it means that everything's dried.

Then I've just been asked by Tristan to say Paulie's name in a cockney accent. Well, I'll do it in a cockney accent. So cockney accent, I'll just need to lead up to it a little bit. I don't think we're going to say "cold early to die." Oh, I know where he is; I think he's sitting in his room. Paulie! That will be in a cockney accent!

The accent I was doing, however, before that was North Country, and I can do it in a North Country accent as well. Ah, say look at that, there's Paulie going out hunting for animals today! I heard another wonderful little skit—I did I do this? No, just do this for you, David. I didn't do it for anyone else— a skit on the interwebs the other day of two of the Game of Thrones actresses doing the first few lines of Hakuna Matata in that sort of North Country accent that they use in Game of Thrones.

So Arya's fallen down—they didn't hook him, a father! Like, doesn't have n? Something like this: Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase! Hakuna Matata, ain't no passing craze! Me too! I'm also waiting for the casting calls! Thank you very much, Emma! Emma says she's waiting for the casting calls to come in.

I think I would be well in Game of Thrones, thinking, what? Papa Peck is… I think that flu season has cleaned! I wanna wait! My friend rings casting, Kalev! Don't think! Yes, yes! I'd love to! I think I'd like a butterfly—yeah, yes! I have an unfortunate lack of skill in the accent department, or at the very least, I can't off the top of my head imitate an accent.

But then what happens to me is as soon as I'm talking to someone who has a strong accent from wherever it happens to be, completely unintentionally and without, you know, without even thinking about it—so completely subconsciously I start to speak back to them in their accent— which leads to a great amount of misunderstanding because of course they think I'm mocking them and they become quite offended.

And that's happened to me quite a few times in my life where I've been speaking to someone from Scotland or Ireland or Australia or America, and I start to imitate the accent and I don't know why I do it and I can't help myself. It's not intentional, but I cannot—it's a very uncomfortable, incredibly uncomfortable feeling when all of a sudden you realize that you sound as though you are parodying them.

Unfortunately, heavier, my South African accent gets these days, because of course I live in the low felt the less that seems to happen to me, because the South African accent is one that, well and truly, entrenches itself upon your soul. It's also the hardest one to imitate. I don't know many people who can imitate a South African accent well and because naturally, there's the typical rivalry of various countries, we get quite insulted if someone mistakes us for an Australian or New Zealander.

No mind too much if we're mistaken for someone from Botswana. Botswana, eh? Oh! Cool! That's funny. And I don't think—I mean, I'm really just babbling at you because right now, at this exact point, there is nothing I can do to improve your view of the dogs, and they are very, very much asleep.

Oh, if we imagine all of the animals speaking in different accents, it'll become even more hilarious! Wild dogs would speak with a—I could get myself into trouble for doing this, I'm thinking the same. I feel as though a wild dog knew pods definitely would have a French accent! And saver! The bad guys, really!

Oh, well yes, I suppose if we stick to if we stick to South African accents. No, I don't think wild dogs would ever sit in a Johannesburg accent. I think they'd know they're not laid-back enough for a Cape Townian accent, definitely not a Cape Townian hipster accent!

No, maybe Em's right here—one of those high-powered businessmen in Joburg. No, it doesn't fit either! Italian—hi! Good! I could see it. You see, I'm haunted, accent. Oh Mamma Mia! I was listening to— I would say guava via repeatedly! The wild dogs! Something about it—basic pack, I think he'd probably been asking why they would call them the investing pack; they're breakaways from the original Mystic! But the right I got—I guess it's discussing accents.

Alex is—that's why they called the invest—pack if they happen to have proper Joburg high-powered accents. Maybe it wasn't dust on their noses, it was a bit of leaf! Daniel says that he loves the Italian accent; yes, indeed! I think it works!

I think Sav's right; I think Italian works quite well. Of course, Alex is in FC. Now I'm wondering what animal would have a Russian accent—hmm, cheetah? Rosita? Maybe not! You see, it's ridiculous because we're talking about all African animals, which of course doesn't quite work! I have no idea, and I have no idea if anyone else is following along with my trains of thought this afternoon.

Well, if you go across to Tristan, who's presumably a great deal more sensible than I am? Well, I don't know if that's probably the case, Jamie, in any way whatsoever, as sensible between the three of us is probably not really going to happen. But Reid in this conversation, and I can't believe Jamie forgot which animals would have a Russian accent; it's quite obvious!

Rayleigh, that it would be Boris the blade and Vladimir from Chitra! Damn, they would both have a Russian accent! Crocodiles would make a perfect Russian mobster! I would be the right kind of animals for the Russian accent, and as for the wild dogs, I think they would have a—I think a really good one would be an English soccer hooligan accent, which is…I don't really know what exactly a soccer hooligan accent is, but that's what I think they would have, and they run around just causing havoc wherever they go.

That's how I feel about the wild dogs! But this accent story is quite funny. We often go to kind of notions as to what accents certain animals would have. Hello, Dorfman Goose! Are you one of the ones that survived? Columba! I'm just gonna see if there's any others—doesn't see live, in fact! There is any others at all at the moment—probably a good opportunity for me to say hello properly!

My name is Justin; on camera, I've got BK this afternoon! Here we go, sir! BK is once again arts in a bout, and hopefully, he's going to bring us more luck! It seems Becca is the lucky charm for all of us at the moment because BK, in the last 24 hours, has seen a honey badger; he has seen two leopards in a sighting, one stealing a kill from another; he has seen wild dogs this morning; he and—what else have you had? Lots of ILI's; all kinds of things!

So BK is now the new lucky charm, and that's why I've stolen him for the afternoon safari, and I'm going to make sure that he brings us luck for this afternoon! I certainly going to need it! So we're going to head off towards Tortured, and we're going to need luck for one signal for a leopard and two or three to be able to get a leopard in a signal area on Tortured.

So that's why we need big guys like Hasanah; it's a tall ass, but we shall try and endeavor to bring some sort of spotty rosy cat to you guys! Now, what is interesting is that last night I got an update! Today, about this last night, the guys said that on their way home, somebody in Coral, guys, on their way home, which would have been at about ten to seven quarter to seven— they said they got that skittish big male leopard coming out from the Mullah Watty Twin Dams area, going towards Baboon Pad. When they said that, he was celebrating quite heavily!

So I don't know what he was up to and what he's doing inside Juma, but I fear that he is starting to make more and more of a push. The more leopards in Ghana have not really been hanging around that side, so it's not ideal! We need to garner to go back down that way and push the skittish male back to where he's come from because we do not need a skittish male leopard around; or certainly not too skittish.

That's what he is! You know who come on! He was one thing because our community would at least allow you to find him, and then you'd kind of move off. This male seems to be an absolute ghost during the day! The guys were telling me last night, and when they found him, as soon as the second car arrived, he was gone in a second!

So one car you see apparently was okay at night, and with the spotlight—but as soon as the second car arrived, he didn't want anything to do with anyone and moved off! And so I wonder how far he's pushing into Juma these days and whether or not the tracks that we're seeing a lot of the time are actually for him, or if they're for you know, Hasanah or Tinga—who can roam? It's an interesting kind of Ben's turn of events that's taking place, and it's certainly gonna be an interesting winter if this carries on!

The other bit of news that I do have from Nicole Gauri is that the den sites on Little Gauri are active once again! So Corky and pretty hostile at the den sites on the Qatari, and it is still active! So that's where they are at the moment, and they seemingly—everybody is doing fine! Apparently, all of the little ones are still there!

Now Em, if you can just repeat the name for me—sorry, I caught the question, but I didn't catch the name. I was too busy talking, as per normal, which happens a lot with me unfortunately, Becky! So, Becky and Tigana haven't really been sowing, no! And he hasn't really—although, you know, last night he looked good; he didn't sow because he was too busy trying to feed his face once more, and going into full sausage mode!

And so, he chased Sandy off! And then—what? Well, why we gonna hit Tortured at his party to go and see where the two of them ended up going? No one actually checked that area this morning with the wild dogs and Columba, and there were lions on before! So everyone kind of was busy with those things. So we're gonna go and check that area quite carefully, and we're gonna hope that we're gonna be able to pick up tracks for where the two of them went, if they followed one another, if they split—whatever the case may be!

But that's what we're going to go and try and see, and try and figure out where they've gone! Whose tracks for a leopard here? But these have been driven over, so that's for a female leopard probably—or more likely than Tandy from a few days ago! And the other sort of bit of news that I have is also the Inca homers are miles away!

So they're all the way in Robson's, which is north of Singita! So there are a long, long way away; hopefully they'll come back fairly soon! Anyway, talking about lions, it sounds like David is on the search for the sausage tree pride, and hopefully, he'll have some luck this afternoon!

Well, I don't think I need to talk about the accents and it took about the tastes because what I'm looking for is this sausage tree pride! So, I'm talking about the tests of these animals. When each one of them say the cuts, they eat different, you know, different three! When they hunt, for example, Impala, to Thompson gazelles, to water bucks, to zebras—what tests do they have?

I mean, I would want to have a little discussion with Jamie and James and Christian and finding out, do these animals tell the difference? Now, I'm assuming elastic lions, for example—lions have been known to hunt wildebeests, zebras, hyenas, giraffes, buffaloes, and especially the pride that I'm looking for where I am—this is a cheap ride, and I won't know when they eat!

Alright, I just continue that might be topical—a tell is for James, who could be having a very interesting.

Hello everybody, here we have got a knob-billed duck! I know that's not its real name anymore; it is now the comb duck! But I just like the term "knob-billed" because, well, it doesn't look like it's got a comb, does it, David? It looks like it's got a very large knob on its head, and it is waddling slowly towards us with its knob!

For once, the missus is following the male and not the other way around. See them eating grass seeds—that's quite cool! I was going to have to look up what they eat, but I'm going to tell you now: they eat grass seeds!

Sorry, Lily, you say, have we seen one of these before? Yes, we have! Absolutely seen one of these before, Lily! Jamie found this knob-billed duck in this very pond, I think it was about five days ago or so. I think so, yes, we've seen this very individual, and we've seen his wife, and the two of them are very much enjoying a little bit of what looks like signal grass to me.

There's some cloris actually! Isn't that cool? Doesn't this associate seed-eating with knob-billed ducks? Who will eat any kind of duck? Let me have a look and see if they eat anything else.

The knob-billed duck! Here we go, now it is in fact called the knob-billed duck! Still! That's nice! Well, let's have a look! I don't know, Cathy, what is the knob made of? I suspect it's because they lose it outside of breeding season, so I suspect it's some kind of skin.

Let's have a look! Adult male breeding crown center of hypnic—blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah—bill black with large laterally complete compressed fleshy comb or knob on the upper mandible and prominent nail. So, it's basically fleshy!

So I think it's kind of a soft fleshy thing that grows there each season; it is much reduced outside of the breeding season! Let's see what it eats! It has been recorded eating of the following—oh this is quite interesting!

The breeding male has a feeding or loafing territory with variable boundary in which he feeds with his mate and sometimes with unmated females. Dirty fellow! Breeding birds may dabble in the muddled strips, grass seeds while wading in shallow water. Females probably dabble more than males to breeding males, blah blah blah! Fish paste, fish paste!

Mhmm, right! So they've been recorded eating largely grass seeds, actually, and then sometimes water lilies! Yeah, grass seeds—that's their vibe! And just gave a long list of the kinds of grass seeds they like.

Rosalind, no, I don't think there are many knob-billed ducks in Juma at all, because this is the only one I've seen! And in fact, this knob-billed duck is not in fact in Juma at all; he is in fact in Little Gauri! Which is unfortunate! Strange place room to have chosen to use, David.

When you come, bring the camera back to me; you need to make a clicking sound so that I know! Alright, no, you didn't! I see you didn't want them to hear it seated quietly! Anyway, I'm sorry you got a view of the back of my head! David's fault!

It's a pressed-on knob-billed duck! We have a lovely sighting here of a white Ford Ranger with a ladder on the back; very good! It's very nice to relax to knob-billed ducks!

Alright, I believe that David was mid-conversation when we found the knob-billed duck, so let's go back across to him to find out what it was he was going to say!

Well, I got interrupted by that feathered friend of James Holley, who, as you can tell, is always interesting—because the time you catch a bat and put it on the frame, then she goes away! Now, I decided we changed the topic from the accents of animals, you know, and we do something different, and we do tests of the predators!

I'm talking about cheetahs, lions, leopards, wild dogs, like what Jimmy Hoffa, and the way I want us to look at this is, for example, say a pride like what I'm looking for—the sausage tree pride has about five females to males in the capture of youngsters!

Now should they catch, or maybe should grab, it three of those girls catch—I say a zebra, maybe late in the evening. And then you shall have the other lions coming in the darkness!

So if the rest of them joined the party or join the dinner once already dark, do they know all the lions? Always tell what's the issue? Of course, it's meat; of course, it is proteins!

So what at once asterisk us is the lions that come at Saturn or assume you blindfold them, and they just come and they start digging in and eating whatever was hunted before! I mean, do the cats or do the hyenas or other predators across the board—do they know what type of meat they are eating?

I mean, they got tastes, but I guess I wash all this! But I'd imagine, just like us human beings, they're predators, good taste buds on their tongues! So can they tell meat of a zebra from, well…wish of this animal from the other?

And personally, I am very bad in that the only meat I can tell 100% it is pork! We made pork! I know it's pork! There are some times I'll eat lamb, and, gods, we have what you call "gudsee" in Africa, and I'll always ask the chef, "What meat are we eating?"

And then we got a chair from the camp—David, like me, and he lost: "Tell me! Don't be silly! What do you think you're eating?" I mean, I have no idea! I know it is meat! And he tells me, "Keep eating!" And ask him how do I know what I'm eating!

And he says, "It's very chewy when spicy; it's very soft; it's lamb!" Which doesn't make sense to me! Anyway, Brent, you're talking of what you think it's a Matisse, if it's like sugar! I think you got a point!

What you need to do, Brent, now, is to put Jamie, Tristan, and James, and ask them either one if they know, and if they do, how can we help maybe the viewers tell? But when a lion is eating, say, a zebra, this is the way to eat— and maybe the disability behaves when a lion is in a buffalo; this is the way it behaves!

I think it sounds rather a stupid topic—a stupid topic! But I think it's always good to maybe ask ourselves! I mean, do predators know what meat they're eating? If they get meat in the darkness, they find other family members; is it the same—are they like, "Well, we had a zebra yesterday and we have zebra again? Trip, you know? A better choice! We'll keep eating it!"

And how I'm sure I'm giving them a lot of pressure, but I am in the area that they called the sausage Republic, which is this one! I was here yesterday for three hours and I got a bit frustrated because I never saw them!

And let's find out what Jamie will say because she got wild dogs. Wild dogs are very good, successful hunters! Now, see what Jim Jim will say in terms of wild dogs testing the meat!

Alright, perhaps I would say that there's probably some really fundamental differences between the way that the wild dogs behave here in Juma, as opposed to in the Maasai Mara. It's such a different hunting habitat that it really is almost incomparable for an animal that hunts in the way that the wild dogs do here in Juma.

They are not animals; they don't chase down animals to the point of exhaustion in the way that people always believe that wild dogs did, with one pack member overtaking another when the pack member got tired. It doesn't work like that here; there are no vast open stretches of land where they go sprinting off after prey.

I don't think that the wild dogs deliberately select anything—to be honest, I think obviously the Impala form the main part of their diet, because there are so many Impala, in parlor, and scrub hares, and that’s just because those are the animals that they encounter the most! But I don't think their behavior really changes; they just get up and they run and they trot, and they see something, and they run at it, and they create panic and chaos in thick vegetation because they're so agile and so quick, and they are able to pick out an individual and eventually manage to catch it!

So, I don't think there's any differences in behavior in terms of the diet that they follow. They've been recorded to even hunt baby buffalo! Obviously, it also depends on pack size! If a baby—the buffalo herd goes running past a pack of four wild dogs, there would be absolutely no chance!

I would say that they are even going to attempt something that large! Where, if you've got, say, the Hamiltons pack of eighteen wild dogs, well then that would probably make a difference to their prey selection!

But mostly, it's opportunistic! Now there we go! Child of the universe is wandering from that! If wild dog packs in the Juma and the Mara are of different sizes—not to the best of my knowledge! Wild dog packs can be highly variable in size; it also, of course, depends on their success when it comes to that year's litter of cubs! But coming—pups come from pups! Because, of course, the female can have loads of pups at one go! She can have ten; she can have more than ten pups! And if they manage to keep them alive, obviously that's a massive boost to their numbers!

So wild dog pack numbers grow and shrink quite rapidly! Then you get your dispersal packs as well, so it really, I don’t think that there is much difference. To the best, obviously, I have never once seen a wild dog in the Mara. I know that they have been seen live twice, but I certainly didn't see one while I was there!

So as far as I'm aware, no! There's no real difference between the pack sizes of the Mara or on Juma, or if there is, it's an average difference of one or two dogs, I would guess! I can't see, you know, having that many— that many individuals is always a cutoff point!

The same goes for lion prides. You have too many individuals in a social group of predators, there's never—it might help with hunting, but it also doesn't really give them much in the way of an advantage of food or access to food because all of a sudden, there are more mouths to feed! Where hyenas are a little bit different— the massive clans of hyenas in the Mara make complete sense because of the way that they work up there, both in terms of tackling predators, bigger predators like lions!

But also because a hyena clan isn't always together! You know, you don't find one group of eighty hyenas all together unless perhaps they're in the middle of a disagreement over territory during a clan war, or perhaps maybe at a caucus!

But mostly, hyena clans are split up! Usually, the high ranks hang out with the high ranks, and maybe some males, and sometimes the low rankers hang out with each other, but they don't stay together in the same way that a wild dog pack stays!

So there are so—so tightly bonded! You'd be hard-pressed to find a more tightly bonded group of social carnivores, except perhaps maybe lions, but of course a completely different social structure!

Now, just for those of you that don't know, perhaps you've only recently discovered the live safaris, because we do get new viewers every now and again on each and every safari, you get your beautiful white legs. You're not looking at a feral dog; this is not some mutt, some mongrel that has wandered in off the streets!

This is a completely different species of completely different genus, actually, to the dogs that we know! Of course, as it does this completely dog-like pose and looks exactly like a little doggie that you could go up and rub its belly; these are wild animals of a completely different genus!

They are sort of our equivalent of wolves; they're quite a lot smaller, and they obviously don't live in snow! Although now, they have been found up in the snowy mountain tops in Kilimanjaro! I love this one's tail! It's got the coolest tail! It keeps flicking it, and I keep missing it!

It's got a little black arrow on the—on its tail, right in the middle of the white patch! It's really cool! But, of course, every time I try to draw attention to it, it puts it back down again! So what you're dealing with is actually Africa's second most endangered big carnavore—big predator!

There are hardly any left, so this is something really, really special! And although we don't have the best view at the moment, and although they're not doing very much, every moment with these animals is precious, because they are constantly running along the knife edge of extinction.

Because once you lose a certain number of certain species, that comeback is almost impossible! Right now, they're treating that very, very fine line. This pack, of course, has no idea that that is the case.

Hey puppies! I just know, I'm looking at your faces, and I just know that you are going to get up and go running off! Dreama, just looking at you! I know it! Look at that dog! It's got mischief written all over its sleepy, sleepy, sleepy face!

While I wait, the business to do that, hopefully, Tristan is having some luck! I know he's been in search of leopards! Let's find out how that's going!

Well, good luck, Jamie, with the dogs! Hopefully, they do get up to no good, and hopefully, they run deep into Juma, where we are at the moment is exactly where Ali left the lamb this morning!

And so we're in the right sort of place for where she could be! And just quickly, he's just scanning underneath every single tree at the moment in the hope that we can maybe spot—oh, just sleeping!

It got quite warm after Ali left her, so I'm hoping that she eventually fell asleep! It seemed like she was kind of never going to sleep; she kind of kept drooping off and then all of a sudden would poppy!

But walking, so I'm gonna try and see if we can find her! Ali and Seb both said to me that she was still moving, so I mean, the chances of her still being here are very slim, but it's worth us just double-checking and having a little bit of a look around!

She might have just found herself a nice comfy spot to lie down, so that's what we're looking for! Is anyway, when it's a bit of shade and maybe a nice little termite mound with some shade on top of it? And those are all good places for a little leopard!

Yeah, that's also in a tree, and Columba's not that scared of sitting up in trees by herself! And so we're just having a little look around in the hope that we can spot her in one of these kind of big marulas or something like that!

But it's gonna be tricky! I mean, this is probably one of the biggest blocks on Tortured! And so finding her in this is really not gonna be easy!

What now? Lots of you are saying you think that she would be great for TV! I agree with you! I think she's always going to be good quality for TV!

I just wanna see—I wonder what that is! There's a marina tree over there with a big bump in it! I don't think it's a leopard, but let me just double-check and make sure!

They're not! So leopard, it is just the way the branch turns! It looks as though there might be something sleeping! It's against the light, so I can't see color now! Colors are always your friend when you see things in trees because leopards often appear a lot lighter than the foliage around them!

So that's why I was just having a little look! Now this termite mound would be a good place to look except that it's quite sort of sunny here! So not ideal for a little lipid like the lamb, to spend too much time in a sunny spot like that!

So we're gonna just try and check more of the shady areas! There are some really nice big trees here to my right, and so one of these trees will be probably a good place to check underneath them or somewhere close!

She suppose could want to go for water, which means that we—if we find the nearest water point, which I think would be Torchwood Dam—the thing you say, that branch is close to my head!

Yes, well there's been a few these last few days, and maybe it'll knock some sense into me and knock some ability to find a lipid into me again! Because we've been struggling a little bit with finding our spotty cats! But one learns very quickly how to dodge branches!

Rin driving around in places like this! I don't see her anyway here! I'm not sure we're going to find her! I think what the base plan is now is maybe just to go back onto the roads and just check she hasn't come out of here!

She hasn't come out of here? Well then, the next base plan is to be on foot for a while and maybe just listen for some alarm calls or something like that! But I wanna just check this grove of trees in my over here because her general direction was kind of coming to where I am now!

And so this will be a good spot to check around! The problem is, is that the grass is so long that it's really tricky to see anything! I mean, we're gonna have to literally drive right on top of her to spot her, I'm afraid, unless she's up and elevated!

Alright! Well, let's keep trying! Let's see what we get! You never know, good things can come to those who try! And so, in the meantime, up to David, who's also trying to find the cats that he's looking for this afternoon!

Well, Kristen, how to tell you this? This is one of my many afternoons where I have—God's almost thinking! Almost trying to say, I'm a little bit frustrated by this afternoon because all the animals I have hoped to have seen by now, they almost all over!

But I think I have so much love for this sausage tree pride that I tend to forget that the other animals count! And then the gauge is teasing me, and he's telling me it's because I did not go to church, and I did not know today is a Sunday until he told me!

Well, I've decided to take a different direction and temporarily forget about the sausages. Sausages! It's a pride of lions that live around this place! And it's my favorite pride! So I've said that I'll forget about it fast, look for something else! And maybe in the process of looking for something else, I might bump into them!

So I'm looking for anything big, anything small, and more so something big, possibly if I'm lucky looking even for elephants or for giraffes! And it all depends on the luck that I will have with myself!

It's just a truck hood carrying in front of me! I just want very quickly with them and then tell them good luck! So just give me two seconds! I want to find out if there's something very interesting you come—and Asuka, you running it? Well, you're lucky; this could be the day!

And my friends are telling me they're equally frustrated like me! So those cubs, giraffes, I'd be more than happy we see them now! That's one female! We think she's the new West’s mother Kings tell because she gonna do not turn her child! She has the nearest mother!

All of us— all of us are trying to see her cubs because they'll be the latest addition in that pride! We could two of the females— that's hardly cubs! March Alia, one that has tuned, and I don't believe that has one! Those F3 and then the latest cubs you've seen are of a female committee who got four!

So we took you of seven cubs of course with a different big difference of age! And now that makes seven! We do not know how many cubs Kinky got, and if maybe she's going to get three, we believe we'll have ten cubs— that pride has ten cubs from five females that make fifteen!

And the two boys that keep roaming in that particular area for the territory that have got owned on your pipe! Wow that pride! She will be growing and becoming very big! The Mara Triangle has so many plays of lions! The largest currently is could all, always, very close to our camp!

But I've always loved the sausages because of how they behave! So those cubs, we can't wait! And I'm trying to remember giraffe—how are you? And I'm surprised to hear and very nice to hear your name! Drop guard! Yes! I said giraffe—gotta tell you, I've been looking for lions!

I'll be looking for the subtree pride, and I dropped—believe me, look carefully! You can see the size of the grass—this is so tall! And for that reason, I decided I'm going to change and forget the lions for some time and look for jobs!

You are absolutely correct! I spoke of a job! So change clothes! Don't go anywhere! If it's not me, Tristan, James, or Jamie, we most likely— you will get an advantage over drove!

I need about two, three kilometers from why I'm; I don't even need to use my father because my binoculars are too spoiled, rough! I should be able to spot one minute giraffe! Speak of the devil, giraffe God! I hope you're still there!

Let's see whether I spoke too soon! Oh! Let's see what I'm seeing! Giraffe God, stay right there! Don't go away! This guy should stop moving!

Alrighty, giraffe God! Speak of the devil! I think—I mean the final control is well done, and I think it's also well done—giraffe girl—because giraffe God there you are! And that looks like a big boy just walking across the Savannah!

And knowing how tall giraffes are, giraffe girl, I request you don't give me so much pressure because you know you have a good friend! And stick to the giraffe for the moment! But I like getting pressure giraffe!

So if you're happy with giraffes, I'm equally happy! And then it makes my life easier when we think of traffic charges, elephants, I mean lions, and I don't know—deduce it!

I will make a nice giraffe, golly! We can count We might see four in that particular herd; we could lose to giraffe length!

Let's walk in there, but looking behind them carefully— as much as the grass is pretty high, there are two more! Well, giraffe God is good to give us pressure because we always tell you, you know, let us know what you'd like to see, and we'll try and look for it!

So I said, giraffe girl, you're the one lucky one that's at least for today! This girl, I guess, this is my very first animal for the last 45 minutes! Pitchers have been looking for sausage lions!

So suggest lions, and I think Saul is very good! Travel to change! See how tall the grass is? This is almost getting to the belly of this giraffe! And no injury—also equally tall, you know, six feet! More or less on the feet, you can tell that this grass is quite high, and of course, it's benefited!

Yes, I agree with you! And this is very ticklish because even for us, when we walk in this grass, you say they're a little ticklish or tend up, you know, scratching ourselves because the pollen— but as you say, I think the bellies of this happy gods are quite sensitive and definitely quite ticklish!

And I'm guessing that one is—keep moving, keep moving! And I would highly doubt the wild dogs or Jamie Hoffa would be seen walking through this grass! Well done, GG, for finding a giraffe this afternoon!

We have not moved in the slightest, and this is pretty much standard for a muggy afternoon like this afternoon! We've got a hope that they stay this way right up until hot by six! I mean, a bit of movement's fine if they want to come out into the open and maybe go have a drink! That'd be great!

Because, of course, then all of you get to enjoy them properly as well! This is exactly what happened when BK went out on his first drive with me! And it don't think it was his first time seeing wild dogs, but it was his first time properly seeing them!

And I told him—I’m sure some of you remembered—was the Hamiltons pack not far from where we are now! And I told him that wild dogs can get up and race off at any minute, and they spent the next hour curled up in little fluff balls, not going anywhere!

I think he was starting to think that I was completely loopy! He smiled! Dogs are very snooty! Jase wants to know if male dogs will leave the pack to start their own when they are mature!

The interesting thing about wild dogs is that it's typically the females that actually disperse! So usually, within most mammals, it's the males. You know if you dream—our most mental predators, it's the male that'll disperse!

Typically, a young male leopard will move off in search of territory, and the females and the females' daughters will stick around the same area! And the same goes for lions' prides, are the guardians of an area!

And the guardians of the genetics! Ice and then the males will, once they reach about three years old, move off and establish themselves elsewhere! But with dogs, that doesn't exactly work like that! That doesn't mean that males never disperse or never break away!

But typically, females will actually move off into in search of new mating opportunities! And that makes sense because their biological drive is to breed, and the alpha female typically doesn't allow a beat of female anything like— or any of the other females below her to raise a set of cubs!

So pups—what is wrong with me? I’ve been thinking about hyenas! I think clearly she will—she typically doesn't allow another female to raise a set of pups; she often kills them! It does happen!

But it makes sense then! The females—they're not like with lions where cubs from every female are welcomed with open arms and with an open milk bar, as well! And they're allowed to suckle each other's little cubs!

With the alpha female, she tends to guard that privilege quite jealously! So it makes sense for the females to move off and to disperse! Listen here, fly! Sorry, goodbye!

That was the last straw! Trying to climb into my ear was not acceptable! Tiny, tiny little flies! It's a horrible feeling when they get in there! Right, it’s thoroughly, thoroughly captivating as these wild dogs are right now. If you go across to James before his warthog runs away!

We have got a water pig, everybody! There it is! As you can see, as if we—a brief sighting because it is well—not a water pig, born of enormous bravery, disappeared into some thick bush along with its babies!

We have found nothing, I'm afraid! I did go for a walk to an area where Tristan said he had squirrels alarm calling yesterday, and he watched a hyena walk in there! He didn't have time to go in; we found absolutely nothing!

I gave it a thorough walk around! A water pig is back, little spotted David! And so no luck on that front! We're now on the eastern boundary; we're gonna squizz around here for a while, see what we can find!

Well done, a warthog! A small water pig! Let me—the rest slightly! Thank you for clicking so that I knew you were coming back to me! They really are not particularly forthcoming!

Matter of fact, you say birthday pig for horse Anna! Well, I mean, if you're the pig gonna be very unfortunate! But yes, I suppose if you're horse Anna, a little bit of pork would be a good idea!

And I said water pig is a delicious meat! If you've ever had it! Now there is a water buck, otherwise known as an aqua buck, that was started by Kirsten McClaren Smith in the directing chair!

And for a long time, David Guiteau thought that we called water buck down here in South Africa aqua bucks! So he would come across them and say, "Ah, some aqua buck!" Until a few months later, I said, "You know, I think the jokes wearing a bit thin!"

He said, "What joke?" I said, "You know, the aqua buck joke!" And he said, "What aqua back joke?" He didn't know! The air here is now filled with the scent of smoky leather, which is the smell of water buck!

I quite enjoy the smell; actually, it's quite comforting! It's a little bit like smelling a glass of Laphroaig! Apparently the wild dogs in our wake and they've brought an hour and a half from walking into Chitwa Chitwa!

Thinking, okay, well that one's asleep, but the rest of the pack are awake! I don't want to talk over this sound, it's a very good sound! Definitely hands-down one of my favorite favorite sounds!

I haven't moved yet because—yes! Please, yes, good puppies! Good puppies! That's right, east, east, little puppies! They’re so excited! All of a sudden, it's amazing how they go from completely dead asleep to squeak, squeak, squeak!

We're wide awake! Mom and dad, everybody up! Everybody up! Oh, tissue, are you voting? Are you voting whether or not to go hunting? I'm sorry! I know I shouldn't joke about a very serious scientific article, but it's an article that appeared a couple of years ago!

I think about two years ago now, about wild dogs voting as to whether or not they go hunting by sneezing! It has been met with a degree of skepticism by certain parties! I'm just gonna go—I'm gonna move around! Might as well move, change our position!

Anyway, they're also not going anywhere! But let's see! I don't know! We are east, east! You don't want to go running into the Sun; it's bright! Go, go the other way! Then you'll be able to see what's out there!

Yes, you beautiful thing! No, no sneezing, no sneezing now! Only starts to sneeze: "At half plus six!" No, that's west! That's west! Okey-dokey! Hold on, folks, we're gonna move!

I just want to be in a position to be able to move if and when I need to! Oh, sleep in the shade! That's marvelous! I [Music] think hopefully that was just a toilet—a brief toilet break!

Cantrell said that wild dogs very “Street,” like they've got West Side Story vibes going on! Yeah, I could see it! They're sleek, they fit— I can definitely see the West Side Story-esque aspects to their nature!

You expect them to break into a song and dance across certain non-rooftops! But yes, they do, they click! But probably not while we're watching them! And we, perhaps we should name one Maria!

Hmm, are we back to sleep? Listen, doggies, where we were was quite nice because they were in the shade for us to just—just gonna put that out there! You know if you wanted to go back there, that would be okay temporarily!

For we are now feeling the full force of the blazing February sunlight! These dogs are not going back to sleep! I don't think they're listening across to the wolf! There it is!

Whenever I look at a shot like that, I immediately think of Rite of Spring! Mr. Pinsky, the Fantastic Fantasia scene with the dinosaurs! Our event wants to know, moving on from Stravinsky in the Rite of Spring, whether or not the—how many wild dogs there are in this pack?

It's eight, if this is the pack I'm thinking of! There's one female, three adult males, and then four pups! Four little pups! Well, they're not so little anymore! They're almost indistinguishable from the adults! That is the Ambala pack!

I don't know which one is the alpha male yet! We know— we should—obviously, there's only one female, therefore she is the alpha! Alright, that was truly impressive! But while we wait for the wild dogs, they have to get up and start hunting!

James has a hornbill that has already been successful! Some action there! Yes, it's there, David! Death to hot imbue! It has caught itself a caterpillar!

And as a result of Judy H and James Richard's explanation of a moth we saw on this very car the other day, I believe that that is one of the hawk moths that we saw there! That we saw the other day, I believe that is the caterpillar of that very month!

And I was just trying to look it up again, but I haven't unfortunately forgotten what the thing was called—convolvulus! There we go, convolvulus moth! I'm a little small!

Yeah, I know that because my mother grows convolvulus flowers! I couldn't tell you what they look like, but—don't—that's what she does! And they're fat and green! So I think that may well have been what that was!

We're driving up the eastern boundary hoping to see some tracks of something coming in, and otherwise, I don't really know! Also, apparently, the welding on the antenna at the back is about to come off, which is a little disconcerting!

So if you hear the following, that means it's come off and fallen on David's head! We so nice to just find Tandy or Tinga, draped across one of these beautiful marula branches!

Yes, indeed, Lauren! They are called convolvulus moths because that is one part of their diet! They do eat other things; there are obviously a number of different species that look quite similar! But that one was called the convolvulus moth!

There you are, James and Judy! I hope you are impressed that I remembered one name! It's better than I normally manage! I’m driving very slowly now! It wasn't too far from here that Tandy and Tingana were the other day!

Grumpy old man, no, duct tape has not been used! The antenna! But cable ties have, of course, it is a well-known fact that Wild Earth, the company in its entirety, would cease to function without cable ties and gaffer tape! Without those two things, you wouldn't have a show!

You might think it all has to do with technology, sophisticated broadcast technology, incredible tracking skills, and wonderful Land Rovers! But no, it doesn't!

It has to do almost entirely with gaffer tape and cable ties! Really, not much going on here at all! I think I'll drive a little bit faster and perhaps head up to people's waterhole!

Alright, David, unfortunately, is not yet found the sausage tree pride, but we'll see if it's getting closer! Very good, James!

Now, I told you, Ali, the time is when you get frustrated by one particular animal, you forget it and you look for something else! And I decided, let me forget my lions! This is the cheap pride for some time—I look for something else!

And then I go, giraffes! And I am not 100% sure, I'll only request we hold our fingers, or we cross our fingers like this, because I might be seeing something even more interesting that Jamie and James will be very jealous about!

So it might take me another two or three minutes to gather, but a friend of mine has told me there could be some spotted somewhere! I mean, let me show them—can get an idea! We see over so many spotted cats here in Kenya in the Mara Triangle!

But this one that we really see, so I want you to tell me which one you think it is before we get there! So keep guessing, and I'm sure we'll have an idea of what these cats is!

Just give me an idea, and I'll give you about 30 seconds to tell me what I'm talking about! It's a cat we've seen! We've seen it before, but tell me what could I be talking about!

Is the cat I saw at the beginning of the year and I switch another one week ago, and we might be seeing it in the next ten seconds! What do you think I'm talking about? Let's find out!

So what I got in 1, 2, 3! Let's check out! Pretty close! Pretty closely—check out pretty close! But it's related to Chichen Itza! God, very good, Nature Girl! Just hang on for a minute!

Let's check out, and I'm gonna give you an angle that's Bunga! I'm gonna tell me—do I keep going? You look good! Alright, Nature Girl, you're so close! A clap for you! Let you go!

But now, in counting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5! Look at that! I have no words! I'm so happy because we have spotted a leopard! Oh, we could leopards in Mara! We rarely see them, but when we see them, it's always a big day!

And I mean the final control says that is awesome! And truly, too easy! And I'm trying to look at—ah, let me cut it half for now! But I'm equals—I might call it more him than her!

Because by the size of the head, I think it is a male leopard! Not very sure! I'm sure I might be getting confirmation from all the viewers who love this particular leopard! And I’m guessing this could be the chef tree male leopard!

I'll put it there— I could be wrong! But this could be the chef tree leopard! Vicki, thank you very much! Great comment! He is massive! And Vicki, he is very good looking!

And just staying on top of that salmon mound or avenue, he got— you can see the heartbeat, all those blood vessels under his neck! Look at that dude up there! And yeah, he's either Kumori or Tinga! No, I'm more similar to Kumori in terms of size and everything else!

The size of the head—the shape of the head! So we always say leopards got rosettes! Gemma! How are you today? And always a pleasure to hear your name! He is a big boy!

I have no idea how old this boy is! But from the face to me, it could be like—like Cleo! Over nine maybe going to ten! He looks pretty tired! Bill he is an odd boy!

Gemma, I was looking at his nose! He—Gemma, we have always thought of young leopards like Hosanna, for example, to a lumber, for example! Their noses are a bit pinkish, and that would also happen to lions! Now he is so sleepy!

Are you sleeping at Harley because of your age? Cause, Gemma, Gemma said you're old! I don't think so! But yeah, if you look at him closely, Gemma, you see this no pink on the nose!

And baying without a pink, my guess is definitely over six, seven! So anything eight, nine is to be a pretty good age for him! Very duck! I hate that he got!

I could be wrong, but I think his ears look a little shorter than the normal ears with Stephen leopards! But I could be wrong! Exactly fitting the description of Whokumori!

Shefford, Chilapa, do you have a sneeze like the wild dogs of Jamie or did he just have a little reflux there? Oh, you got irritated by a fly!

Well, I'm very excited because for us to spot leopards in Mara is always very special! And I'm sure Jamie, as much as she got wild dogs, is feeling wild! And David, it promises to be an exciting, exciting—but for now, it is a very restful, relaxing sighting!

But well done, GG! Leopard in the Mara is always a special, special thing! That's awesome news! You know, it hurts my soul quite a few times in the Mara when I encountered a leopard on one of our all-nighters!

And had to leave it in favor of whatever else that we were—whatever else we were following, largely because wherever I found them was areas where we didn't have signal! But it happened non-live, farm-off! And then it ever happened live, so well done, David! That's exciting news!

I wonder which male it is! I'm sure Adam, who works a betting gamma and who's sort of starting to collate all of the various Mara leopard sightings, I'm sure he'll be very excited to hear that!

Okay, fly! Goodbye! There's one, two—that’s fallen victim to my reflexes! NAT would like to know if I think the wild dogs have eaten since the sighting this morning, or if they are looking fatter!

They didn't look particularly welfare, did they? They don't look that hungry! But I always feel as though wild dogs have a hungry look to them! If they did eat something, it was very, very small! Perhaps the scrub hare!

Obviously, I wasn't out this morning, so I didn't see them! So I'm not—I don't know exactly what they look like! But if they did, it was probably very little! But they've got—when we arrived, they've got no blood on their faces!

They're almost exactly where Tristan lost them this morning! So I don't think that they've managed to eat! Which is why if you're listening, wild dogs, you need to go directly to Quarantine at around about half past six this evening! Yes, yes!

You just think you're taking that in! You're just a puppy! You don't know what I'm talking about! Quarantine, by the way, for those of you that don't know, you might have completely misinterpreted that!

I am not in any way suggesting these dogs need to be placed in quarantine! It is the name of an open area on Juma! So don't panic! I'm not saying that they're diseased or anything like that!

It's just the name of an open area! That's why they must go to quarantine! It occurred to me as I said that that would be very confusing for a new viewer, particularly since our new viewers seem to be quite shy about asking questions! We know you're out there! Remember that you can actually interact with us and you can do that using the hashtag #SafariLive on Twitter!

Alternatively, you can send your questions through on the YouTube chat stream! Alright, some south snoozy wild dogs! Aren't rushing off anywhere! Or if you go across to David's magical Mara and leopard sighting!

Well, hopefully your wild dogs, Jamie, will stay until later tonight! As I'm also crossing fingers and hoping that my male leopard here will also stay until rather late!

And I'm so excited by this leopard and not sure the M you'd like us to have a bigger cover much ground with all other online viewers! You know who cross benefit from this very rare sighting of a male leopard in the male triangle!

Hello everyone, and a very warm welcome to the Mara Triangle in Kenya! And my name is David! And on camera, this evening is Bunga! Bunga, how are you? And you're very excited because we've got a very—I sitting here—oh, lepida! Not RIA in that sense!

We see leopards here in the Mara Triangle, but rather elusive and your own is rather difficult to see as much as seeing in Juma or in the Kruger National Park in South Africa!

So for us here in Kenya, and most particularly in our triangle, when it sports a little, but we get very excited! Well, this one, number one—it is a male! And I'm saying smell because of a few reasons: the size is huge! He is a big boy!

Two, he got a huge head, and in general, men have got big heads and females! Thank you, Bunga! I can adjust to a tall engaged cameraman with me today! And number three, if you look below his neck, you can see some piece of mass hanging there that we call a doorknob.

So juleps are more general fitting or the more seen in the males than in the females! Now we come to you live, and should you have any questions and comments, please send them through! And how exciting is this?

We have some perfect light, great temperatures, and we could be doing close to 85 degrees Fahrenheit, after about 30 degrees Celsius! And look at him! He just pushed and look in a particular direction!

And what I think is looking at awesome impalas from a distance! When I was driving here before I found him, I passed through some impalas—a mojo herd of impalas, and I think that's what he is trying to focus on! If not, he could also be focusing on maybe something like a warthog!

So he is patched up, you know on a shaman mound! Lavinda, how are you, and always a pleasure to hear your name! And you'd like to know, could a leper like this bring down a buffalo?

I do not think so, Ravindra! I highly doubt, but Linda, I'm sure you know, merely puts fully grown ones could be anything 65 70 kilo grats! And 80 programs? Maybe the very heaviest one!

I have seen some of the leopards tomorrow, bringing down prey, but it's almost double your weight! W sighs I'm talking over topi! Michael, you are asking what his name is! And I'm sure gonna tell you his name!

So ravine de, I was just saying earlier that I've seen leopards that are, you know, 70, 75 kilograms, hundred forty-five pounds, bringing down huge prey the sizes of topi! Oh-ha! Twist that are double the size or double the weight of leopards!

But I highly doubt it would bring down a buffalo! But I can tell you, Ravindra, for a baby buffalo—for a calf—it's very easy for them to bring them down! And apparently, Ravindra, they also drugged them up the tree!

Now, Michael, this leopard here is called the chef tree leopard! We have been seeing him around here! And this, Michael, is his territory! Chef a tree pod is his name! Keep sending through your questions and comments because we are coming to you live from the Mara Triangle in Kenya!

Oh, Celia, Daniel! Very good! And I'm very happy to hear your name, Daniel! Again, and I'm sure you remember this! This is exactly about a month ago because Daniel, it was the very first day of 2019! He is the same man that was meeting with that particular unknown female!

And if Daniel, that female conceived that day, I can tell you in another two months, we might be seeing a cab—old two cups with that particular female! Daniel, you are absolutely correct, it's the same male that we saw meeting that day!

And this is the chef tree leopard! Hello, sir! You're gorgeous! You're good-looking! I was just saying earlier, I didn't finish my thoughts! He is patched up!

Oh, he's laying down on a termite mound! An atomic mound gives it an atomic mount and gives it a vantage point to be able to see its surroundings! Killer! Very good, you see!

What an amazing animal! And I'll tell you leopards killer in the Mara! Always a bit skittish! And we always tend to see them on top of trees! Anytime you see them on the ground, they are always on the move!

But just to see him Bakula resting, it is just super special! Well, ladies and gentlemen, I want to thank you so very much for having joined us for your Christian, for your comments, and please keep an eye because you might be sending you more or less in the very near future!

And on behalf of my cameraman, Bunga, and myself, David, very many thanks, and you can keep watching us on the YouTubes! As usual, goodbye for now!

Very good! Welcome back! And my leopard remains here! And as I said, the male is called the chef tree leopard! Very luxe, very composed!

And definitely maybe looking at some food and thinking where he might be getting tonight! But I won't tell you! I thought I could be the only one winning and the proud guy or the proud guide in Kenya, but I think James is trying to catch up with me and maybe a similar luck that he got!

Well, we are having a bit of luck here with the leopard! Tristan's been looking for it! It is, of course, I haven't seen her for a long time! And I remember how I nice to see you! Something of a relief, to say the least, I must say!

And a little butterfly there! Now is she looking for her mother? Where is her mother? Where's her father? That hopefully Tristan will uncover for us fairly shortly! Now when we left her this morning, she was of course on Torchwood. It's not too far from where we are now!

Where do Quarry Pan—Bonecrusher Queen said that she's the most beautiful leopard! Well, Bonecrusher Queen, she might be! I'd also like to know in your opinion who the ugliest leopard in the world is!

Now be very careful for answering that question, because you may, of course, be attacked, a cyber-bulled! But yes, she's pretty! Interestingly, her nose is already nearly black! It's not that pinkish color of hosannas!

It's just slightly sort of grey-pink! Pink-grey! Greyish-pink! You know what I mean, David? You don't? Well, mine suggest you open your eyes and have a look!

Hmm, I do hope she doesn't go far from here because there are not many places that she can go from here which will not result in my breaking this car! So just stay right where you are, little leopard!

I'm now going to have to tell Tristan about this! He's going to be not entirely pleased! Sorry! I'm going to have to get hold of Tristan! No, I think he's got tracks actually of Tandy! Stations, we've just bumped into Columba at Quarry Pan!

Sorry about that, Tristan! I can just see steam now coming out of Tristan's ears! He's been making a very big effort to find her! And we've driven along and bumped! But that is the way of the wilderness, I'm afraid!

Emma says Emma can see Tristan, of course! And there is steam coming out of his ears! Beautiful! Linley! You say even David found a leopard!

Um, I'll have you know, and I still don't know how this happened! But when David was here with us at Juma, he found—he found leopards just about every time he went out! He'd just go out and say, I think I want to find Tandy, and he conquered!

Pitch up! He'd say the same about Tandy! Same story! Same about all the leopards! And he had a remarkable run of luck when he was over here!

So while it might be slightly unusual that he's found a leopard in the Maasai Mara, well, he was certainly no slouch over here! [Music]
