Safari Live - Day 372 | National Geographic
Program features live coverage of an African safari and may include animal kills and carcasses. Viewer discretion is advised.
Well, good afternoon everybody and welcome to a spectacular start to the afternoon safari with one of our leopards we don't see all that often these days, but it is very nice to see in the form of Herkimer. You can see he's looking as bulky and as big as ever. And you've come at just the right time because he's been sleeping all afternoon and has just decided to wake up in the last 20 seconds. He is now off on a mission, which is not ideal because he's going to cover ground much quicker than we want him to do. These cool kind of conditions mean that he might start heading off towards sort of Triage Downsides and might even cross out before our show this evening. But I'm hoping he's gonna find a warthog or something in the meantime.
My name is Crystal; on camera I've got Sensor, and it is a very, very, very warm welcome to all of you. You remember, we are coming to you live from South Africa. If you have any questions about the community, then let us know on hashtags for I live on Twitter or as if see on the YouTube chat stream. Remember to keep it relevant, which I would suggest would be all things leopard today because James is heading towards Tundee out, he's gonna be heading towards Roshan, and Jamie is also out, and she's gonna be scratching around for Tandi, who was seen there late this morning. Then Tingana was around this morning, so she's also going to have a little look around, and hopefully we'll have a leopard trifecta.
It seems like he spotted something, not sure what it is. Hopefully, it's going to be something like a warthog because we know Komori loves a warthog when it comes to hunting. I'm gonna try and see if I can get around and get a bit of a view of whatever's going on here. So just gonna try and hide in this direction. Very exciting way to start, isn't it?
The best thing about it is that I have a very special person on the back who has been dying to see who can worry for a very long time. So Molly is on the back with me. Holly, do you want to say hello quickly? Yes, there we go, there's Polly saying hello because he has been wanting to see her Kumari for the longest time. So he is super excited that he's managed to come across this leopard that he wanted to see. I'm super glad that we managed to bring him with us for the afternoon, so he's going to enjoy some Kumari time with me this afternoon.
Now, what has he seen? The way he's reacting, he's running towards the nearest termite mound; there just trying to get across a little ditch quickly. You have lots of viewers who are very happy to see Molly and to see that he's doing well. He is very well, he's been studying hard for his upcoming for Garcia exams, and I'm hoping that he's going to be able to pass very, very well. Where is he gone? Not right now, we're gonna try to catch up with Luca Murray. We're not very close to where James is, but James in the meantime has got his own spotted cat down.
Yeah, Gary Dam. Good afternoon! Here we sit with the little Trefuhana and he is at his normal pantry of the dam pan. Now, you'll notice that we are very far away from him today, and I shall explain why. My name is James Henry; on camera today we have got Sebastian. Handini, he used to be, of course, the greatest French Gabonese Air Force pilot in history until the demise of his aircraft.
Right, what we are doing is parking quite far away from the waterhole here. We have watched him try and hunt here before, and Impala are really very nervous of absolutely everything. And so what we've done is we've parked far enough away from the water that we think if some Impala come down, they will still drink despite us being here. And that means we won't be intruding at all on his Trefuhana's ability to hunt. Now he's been pretty much in this position for the whole day. Those of you who've been watching the dam cam will know this, and we're not going to move from here, and that's going to be a little bit irritating for some of you, I think if he decides to lie down because he will then become invisible. But I'm going to resist the temptation to move because as soon as we disturb what's going on around here, we disturb the kind of peace around this waterhole, and the chances of him being able to catch something that comes down to drink or the chances of anything coming down to drink will be reduced.
So if you don't mind, I'm going to ask that you bear with me for the next two hours. You know we could talk about anything else; you likely can talk about him too, but this is the best picture we're going to get of him unless he decides to get up and start stalking something. So I hope that you don't mind that's what we're going to do and that will be our approach for the afternoon.
Okay, now Jamie Patterson has also got a magnificent creature to show you. You won't believe what it is.
Well, I mean, I have several magnificent creatures, James, and Seb have a horse owner, Tristan, and since I have hookah Maria, and David, and I have some birds. Very good afternoon to you all; my name is Jaime, and this afternoon Davi is on camera with me, and I'm actually quite serious about how exciting this is—a submission of starlings, and there's about 30 of them from the greater blue-eared starling including virtuals starling as well.
There's lots and lots of them. They're just unfortunately quite difficult. Now they were all gathered together in the road, and then there's the hornball with an identity crisis who appears to think that he is a starling. But I really have never seen this many hornballs look at him, there's many starlings or combines together—a proper murmuration of about 30 plus! It is actually a feeding party. So it's not just the hornball with the identity crisis; there are a number of other birds that just saw a white-crowned Shrike somewhere. I would tell Dobby where it is, but I don't know anymore.
There you go—every single tree appears to have at least one starling in it. Dobby, remember the Silas days where after a long night out one would go to attempt to sleep in the guide tents that we were in, and next to us at all times there were starlings making an absolute racket screeching constantly? It wasn't really their fault; I mean, you know, we weren't meant to be asleep during the day.
That's awesome; it would be a lot more effective on a nice sunny day, but the weather is truly unpleasant today! Co-Sider says the hornball is cool; look! I think the starlings are cool too! They would be cooler if you could see them all in the sunlight. But perhaps the hornball is actually too cool for the rest of the hornballs and has decided to hang out with the troublesome pack of starlings—those naughty birds, confident, noisy often regulars around campsites and camps.
So perhaps the hornball has fallen into some bad company. That's why he's working on his mohawk, their black mohawk down the middle of his head puffed up. It's so cold! I know, guys, it's a miserably chilly day—little bit of rain, little sprinkling of rain this morning! I also happen to see Tundi just by the way; I tried to follow her. I was going to babysit her—didn't go well; I lost her.
Moving on to someone who does have a leopard let's go to Tristan who hasn't managed to lose her Komori yet.
Indeed, we do have a lipid and it's his trademark kind of position that he's in. He laid out in the dark; he's up and moving once more! So as you can see he's going to come past us shortly. Just wait for him to kind of move before I shift around. Leaving very, very nice to the car, which is awesome to have him. But I don't know what he spots; it is something he's very, very intrigued by.
I apologize if he heard me move my cap—unfortunately, it was twisted on my mic pack, so I just wanted to move it quickly. Right, looks where you're off to. Race is living now; he is gonna be gone in the next half an hour, which is not ideal. That's all. Let's see how we go, maybe you'll find something and end up catching it said we can—got to stay with him—what are you sniffing?
Yes, nothing! Very, very heavily around on the ground there. I don't know if he spotted warthogs or maybe he spotted something that he thought would be a feasible hunting option! Maybe saw another leopard, but I don't see any flippin promise. You see the guy's nose to the ground, look, you see how he's smelling? He's trying to work out what's going on.
He's not very far from where we had the lions yesterday, but didn't really walk in this direction; we didn't have any tracks in this direction when we were tracking them at first. But that's not to say over time they didn't get here with Tundee. Remember Tundee? She followed the lions yesterday, and it was in this direction!
Maybe that's what he's picking up. You see he's sniffing; he's sensing something! Often if it's an animal that lies down a lot, they also smell like that, so something like a dark dog or a steelbook—those things also catch their attention.
But what was interesting is he was fast, fast, fast asleep. He was kind of sitting flat on his side—and all of a sudden the wind came up and he was up like a shot and then running. You could see there's some sort of intrigue that he's got and something that he's watching.
He's gonna sit down. Alright, since it's really salsa, still can't shake the silly cold that I've got, so do apologize if you hear me sniffing! Now, a lot of you are wondering where Singani's welling—Ghana was lifted this morning. He was left in Puffles Hook, so pretty much straight north from where we are at the moment but inside Puffles Hook, in an area near Chikona.
Now, Chikona is quite far to the north, so I don't think he's here waiting on ER, which would be back this far just yet, but you never know. Sorry, I was just trying to tell the guys because they were in the park ahead of us in case he moved. I was trying to tell them that he’s gone down and he's just sitting at the moment.
I don't think he's gonna be down for long, but whatever it was that he possibly saw, maybe he picked up the scent and realized it's not something that he actually wants to deal with, and it's just laid down again.
Oh, he's just sitting and waiting to smell or listen to pick up any other sign again before he decides to move on. But he's very alert; you see he's picking and looking around the direction we just came from, so I don't know what it is that he's smelling. But I'll sit with him for a while; I'm gonna see what happens in the meantime they send you back across to Husana. He's in a similar spot.
We are still here, as I said. I must tell you also that Sandy, the female leopard, sister to Hosana—Grumbly sister to Hosana—was found. Yes, I'm speaking quietly. How's the audio, Sebastian? I'm sorry, yes, goat! Goat! Okay, right! Sandy was very close to camp. In fact, during the course of the morning, Jamie spent an extended period with her, waiting to see what she would do and then she got up and disappeared by walking into the camp, pretty much between stop village in the camp.
She might pop out here at some stage. It's impossible to get a vehicle into where she was going. And in fact, she was so displeased with Jamie that Jamie thought she wouldn't even try and follow her in for the vehicle. So she's around here somewhere; maybe we'll get to see her a little bit later.
Or Sana hasn't moved at all; he's eyeing up the impala that you were looking at, and then this impala, of course, is just sort of shopping, I suppose, on the little green shoots that have come out as a result of the small rains that we had today and the heavy. Sebastian pointed out to me that we had over the last few mornings.
Say that's what's going on there. That's not grass; that's little water weeds that tend to pop up after water. Hosana is watching them, but of course, he will not do very well to expose himself at this stage. And for those of you who perhaps haven't been watching for a while, or maybe you're a new viewer, or Silah, the three-year-old male leopard ate an impala—almost in its word, let's say he had two-thirds of it about winters; that was probably Thursday or Wednesday or Thursday.
I don't think he's very hungry, but he could certainly eat again today, and there are some impalas that are showing some intent to come back down here and have a drink. But you see, because it's not a particularly cold day, I'm not sure that they're going to rush down to have a drink. JB, yes, there is a possibility that the pumped water at this pan may run out.
It comes from the same borehole or aquifer that, sorry I paused because I thought I heard a monkey alarming but I didn't—comes from the same aquifer that feeds our camp. And so if it runs out, yes indeed, as we too will go the way of all flesh that can't get water. So this pan will do the same, unfortunately. So we do have to watch out; we have to conserve water.
We are unlikely to get a proper deluge before the end of the year, and so it is possible that our aquifer could run dry, and that means that this pan will run dry at the same time, and then Hosana's pantry will have to be sought elsewhere.
Now also know of course can afford to just lie here by the pan because he's not territorial. He has no inclination to mark himself a territory, and so unlike his father who was wandering around peeing on bushes and shouting his head off in order to maintain his territory and keep intruders from taking it from him, Hosana can just sit here and vegetate next to the water and wait for something to come, and then he will try and catch it.
As the driest season takes hold, I'm hoping that he finds this place as productive as he always has. He's in a very good spot; if anything comes down to drink, I think he'll have a good chance of having a go. At the moment, the only thing that's had a drink down here is a laughing dove, as always peaceful and quiet on Sunday afternoon here at Juba Private Game Reserve, lowest infringers of the Grand Poobah National Park.
You can hear not a great deal of birdsong—couple of virtuals starlings gang squawking squawking behind us. Firefly? Yes and no, I suppose that concentration of lions certainly affects the density of other predators—they certainly would move away if, for example, there was a lion in on the reserve, you'd find that that den would be given a wide berth. But I don't think that it would change the territories of the resident male and female leopards, and so although it may well be a situation where leopards might avoid a certain area, they wouldn't reduce or contract their territories.
That said, you know, Tangan was on a territorial patrol that he smelt lion, he would not be so terrified that he wouldn't try and investigate what he was smelling. If he then came across a den, of course, he'd kill those cubs; he wouldn't think twice about it. I don't think there's a den on Juma, though. I know that there is a den, but I just really feel like the amount of time we spend driving around this reserve and walking it flat, I really feel like we would have seen it or certainly seen evidence of lionesses going in and out of an area.
So I'm gonna say I don't think that there were any youngsters here. I think they might don’t be in Puffles Hook to the north of us—that would make the most sense. That’s at the least activity, nor the place with the least activity, and therefore I think that’s most likely.
Tangan can see down into the dam—seems to be looking quite intently across the way there. Is it another little hoard of impalas coming this way perhaps? And oh, what a tiger! Apparently, Pajamas Patterson is taking what's known as a humble dumble! I'm taking a humble bumble! What a brilliant way of phrasing that that is—you know, now how I shall refer to bumbles forever afterwards.
Where are you off to? I'm on a humble bumble! That's great! My humble bumble has not produced any kind of sighting as yet, and it doesn't mean I've given up hope, though. He's going to tell you my Tundi story. So this morning she was called in just after drive—right outside our camp—and she was lying down in a drainage line, and I went in there just to babysit her for the rest of the day.
I'm gonna switch around so that we could keep an eye on her, and June came in. For those of you who don't know, Jude is a hyena, and she just harassed and harassed and harassed Tundi. She actually didn't harass her; she just walked all the way around checking to see if there was a kill around. Tundi didn't find anything. Then Tundi walked through the drainage line, and then I was parked on the opposite side for some reason.
She really didn't like me this morning, came bouncing up and stopped just so I could see her eyes and her ears and she just hissed at me. It's a Tundi smile for what felt like quite a long period of time because I'm quite short in the Mahindra, so I couldn't really see anything except her eyes, and I certainly wasn't gonna sit up on the door, though he held eye contact for a very long time, and then she went and lay down next to me.
We heard cat, and then June came in, and Tundi just lost it! She got so angry that she chased June. I mean, Tundi's about half the weight of June. She just chased her all the way through the camp! I couldn't keep up with her! Well, it’s not that I could; I actually couldn't keep up with her! There was no way I could have driven through the staff quarters to get around! She didn't go into the camp, but she moved through underneath the elephant wire— that was my morning with Tundi, which I feel like would make a very good title for a book—“Honey and Other Stories.”
And my plan from now is to try and see if I can find her again. I don't know where to start, though, 'cause it's Tundi! No way to start! Though it’s Tundi, it could be also chickens. Little eyes back in from torch. Maybe bottles of dam. There's not that many places for them to drink. Feeling that some elephants will go to the Enid in a bit later to see if they’re there—all sorts of proverbial sleeves like area!
Okay, apparently my signal's a little bit low in this area that Tundi likes—no surprise there. I send you across to Tristan, who's doing his best to keep up with her Kumari.
Well, hopefully, Jamie will find where the signal is and she'll be okay. As you can see, Herkimer, he is busy scent marking. He's also got the sneezes! He seems to have got some grass or dust up his nose because he's sneezed a few times and kind of rubbed his face a little bit as well. So I wonder if it's not something that's just irritating his nose a little bit at the moment.
But anyway, he's on a serious mission! He's turned heavily to the east now. So he was heading south; he's now heading deep into Juma. I mean, we're hitting at this rate—if he just stays on the course that he's on now, we'll hit at Philmont stop fairly shortly. So he's moving quite quickly. Like I say, straight east at the moment.
Which in some respects is good—other respects not so good, given that obviously Hosana has been hanging around central Juma. Trade, he went to a Camry to pick up his scent and try and follow him. What interests me, though, is that this morning—there are two things that are very interesting. The first thing I'll get into which is not related to this at all, and the second thing is related.
The first thing is that Kochava was seen today. Steve was looking for some animals for tonight's show, and he managed to bump into Kochava, yeah, in the day, and she's hula by the looks of things. From the guides that were able to follow her inside Tortuga, she apparently looks like she's got some Cubs at the moment, which is quite interesting. So for those of you that were wondering about each other since the last time she was seen, it does look like she has Cubs—so hopefully, there'll be some news on those fairly soon.
And then the other sort of related topic is that Tingana today was seen in an area where we have not seen him for many, many, many, many months—Sandy Patchi area. We'll tell Axis, and I haven't seen Tangan since he has been sick. It's not to say he hasn't caught me, but that's just where I haven't seen him. So what's interesting is that coincides with Herkimer being back on the property—he's pushed that far west. I wonder if he didn't hear her Kumari come this side, and maybe, just maybe, came to investigate what was going on.
They might have even been a little bit of kind of, you know, shouting at one another. Sometimes male leopards, that's how they settle their disputes, as they shout at each other and that's how things get sorted.
Sorry, since we're gonna have to try and figure out another way through here which is not going to be all that easy. Let's try from here. Alright, I'm gonna try and get through here; this might be a bit interesting and a bit tricky.
And so while I do that, let's send you back across to James with Hosana, who's being far kinder to James and is just sitting pretty! Lucky interest, and has got Paulie to lift him out of trouble. Powerful young man, particularly keen on running, I must tell you. But he is a strong young fellow.
We have not moved as I promised we would not. Hosana, I think, is getting bored actually in Satya the whole day. Nice trying to find out why it is that his patience isn't paying off. I also think that his attention has been alerted by some alarm calling birds, and I think that Andy is not far from here.
Cat? Yes, I think that Hosana is lazy today because of the weather. I don't—we often say, well, it's a cool day, the predators might walk today, might move around during the middle of the day. In my experience, that isn't actually the case. If it's cold and miserable, I sleep when it's cold and miserable!
But if it's—I mean, and we've often seen predators, especially leopards, moving around in the most blinding of summer heat. So yeah, I think they are a little bit like us. I don't see why there wouldn't be. This weather makes us feel sort of down and lethargic, and I think that's got to do with sunlight and its effect on vitamin D and melatonin and other hormones that perhaps would give us a bit more energy and inspire us to greater things when it’s sunny.
Which really makes you wonder how on earth Britain never managed to create an empire! Because if I lived in Britain, I would be lethargic 24 hours a day; maybe that John was probably how they did it! I just left in droves!
I'm scanning the area for his sister, but with my binoculars, I have yet to see any sign. You know, we'll continue our stakeout with Hosana. I know this will probably irritate Sebastian as much as it'll irritate you. I may move even for slightly further back in the same angle just a little bit further away, but we'll see!
And the game drive radio has now become deeply excited by the presence of leopards! Oh here we go! Hello, magic dragon was odd! I don't know if for Silah would stay here. I'm really if I was to guess one way or t'other, and that guests were to prove correct, it would have been nothing but blind luck! So I don't know; I don't know what he's gonna do. I don't know what his plan is, what his desires are.
I don't really see why he should leave at the moment. Oh Marie seems to have found himself a snack! I'm gonna wait here; that's alright hey! Don't sponsor me! I can't see what it is! I think it's potentially some sort of poop! But he's busy! Easy!
I know it doesn't sound very good, but he looks like he's got two dirty nose, doesn't he? And so it brings new meaning to the word "brown-noser." But he's probably shoving his nose into some sort of dung! They often do this, and they roll around. It's something that male leopards do particularly with buffalo dung, but I can't see anything there and we don't have any buffalo around really.
So my guess is that it's maybe wildebeest or something that he's busy sorting out. Or there is the scent of something he's very interested in. But I suspect it's more dung; I don't see any carcass or anything like that, but he was walking steadily and he just stopped right here and started rolling and is now biting and sniffing about. And so it's a bit tricky to figure out exactly what he's got there—what it is.
I like I said, I suggest dung is probably the best sort of guess that I have, and like I said, I'd imagine it's probably wildebeest. They, at the moment, are leaving quite a lot of dung in this area, and they spend a lot of time down the side aisle to be heard from quarantine.
So what do you think sends? I think that's what we've got. Maybe it's been a lone buffalo moving around? We know there has been a buffalo around but I don’t think we’ve seen any tracks for him out this side.
Now I believe a lot of you again ooh, well, it's just really grass that has passed through a digestive system essentially! There's really not much to antelope dung! And so it's not that bad to be honest! I mean, and in South Africa, there's even that game where you put food in your mouth and you try and spit it as far as you can! Antelope! Woo!
That is an Impala is normally the one that people use, although sometimes people upgrade to a bigger caliber like giraffe or kudu. But the bigger calibers are not really that easy in comparison to Impala! Pooh! And that is normally the one that's kind of mostly used to see how far you can spit it!
So it really is just processed grass more than anything else! But Komori seems to love it! For some reason, he has got his face buried in what it is. Sometimes you'll find these male leopards, their whole face looks black from doing this! I mean, we've seen Hosana sometimes with his head like that.
So, Komori, where are you going? Where have you just come from? There, and he's gonna St. mark! I wonder if there's not a scent of another leopard here that he is picking up! Maybe tingana walked here; maybe Hosana? Maybe there’s been a female?
But he can see he's definitely smelling! But his dirty nose! Hello, boy! If you watch your nose on the ground, makes me wonder if maybe he's picked up the scent of tingana. You see, it looks like he’s marking as well! Typical male leopard smells another one!
The only thing that suggests that he potentially hasn't smelled too male leopard is that he's not salivating! Normally when a male leopard smells another male, his salivation starts to happen, and that's because they start getting the testosterone flooding, and they start getting amped up in order to try and defend their territory!
Are you going to lie there? He's lying in a very horrid place! I also need to turn to face you guys the right way before Kirsty shouts at me! Guys, in next week's review, I'll be shouted at for not facing the right way! So there we go! But he's looking really good, isn't he?
I mean, he's at the moment; he's come off for a kill. He was on a kill. I was so close to getting shot at! Did you see Christy tell him in my ear? Thanks, Christy! Yeah, you see I was quick there to realize that I was in trouble! I was in the danger zone! But he looks good! He's just come off a kill, like I say—or, fareth you say, I think he had a warthog there for a few days.
He's looking very, very well at the moment; his overall body condition is looking good! He seems to always look more and more impressive as the days go on! You know when you first arrived here, it's kind of scraggly and didn't really look that bulky. But he’s bulked up quite nicely, and he looks like a serious fella these days! I quite like him; I know a lot of people don't!
You might—so listen, listen, listen! He's growling a little bit! If he drops his head again, I'm gonna keep quiet because that's often when they start leaving! Almost on my father saw that he made this little low grumble and they dropped their head. That's often when they start to saw into the ground like that!
So I wouldn't be surprised if you do hear a saw at some point soon! Mr. He's got his nose down on the ground; I would imagine he's smelling another cat! Over which cat that could be! I don't... There's definitely another cat that's been around here that's intriguing her Maria at this stage. And like I said, it could be Tandi, it could be Colombo, it could be Shiratā, it could be really anyone. Or they should duel you—I don't think so because she, essentially, has been seen almost every day on Arethusa over the course of the last few weeks. But we did have a track that came from this area about two days ago.
And I wasn't sure who it was that eventually crossed into Atari, and so maybe, just maybe there's a female that... But that would walk three; it could be a Tandi or something like that that has been here! And especially if Tandi’s but had cubs starts coming into any estrus that will be of severe interest to a leopard like don't worry! He obviously wants to try and reproduce as much as possible!
So I'm intrigued to see away this takes him and if he follows a scent because that'll give us an indication of who it is! If he phones has a sink northeast towards the dam, then we know he's following potentially Tandi right now.
Her Kumori is getting comfortable, and there's a gal about to roll on his back like a little kitten! But in the meantime, there’s more serious business going on at Gary Dam as Hosana begins to hunt!
We have gotten a little hunt going on here now. What he's doing is he's gonna try and sneak between here and some bushes behind which those Impala have now moved! Now, we've been very, very nice to him by staying away. You won't believe it, but another vehicle has sort of pulled up, and they've too been very sensitive about the situation! But they're actually in the perfect position now.
Can you see? With the Impala—is this if it's red in front of us, and there's a vehicle behind it! So what he's trying to do, everybody—do you see that greenery there? He's now going to try and get into that greenery so that he can get at the herd of Impala! That one belongs to a herd of about ten or so that was eating down in the dam. I don't know where the rest of them are; they must be just behind that one!
So if the dam cam can see them, and what's interesting is that I don't think any of those Impalas drank from the scummy water down in the dam. I wonder if they're not gonna think about coming here! I can now see two Impala there, so they're gonna make their way up into the clearing! I don't think they're going to come down here to drink!
Three, and that's why he was interested. You see a parent? A number of you asking if the lapwings are going to dive-bomb the Small Chief. I don't think they are going to dive on the Small Chief because I don't think that the lapwings have got youngsters at the moment! You can see them; they're moving away from the waterhole now! As he watches!
No dart feeling a sense of irritation—something profoundly amusing about a leopard when he flattens his ears like that! He's in such a great position! If anything came down to drink, well—except you’d have to burst; otherwise they'd probably trip and fall into the water before we got close to anything to see what he does here! They've all got their backs turned to him! I'm not gonna move! We're gonna keep as quiet as possible!
So I'm not to drop anything in the car! They'd look this way! If they start grazing here, you might try and stalk up to them! But I think not! I think they're going up towards quarantine clearings!
Were probably settled for the evening! Well, apparently the lapwings do have eggies at the moment. Well, yes, then they could easily divebomb Hosana if he's anywhere near their eggies! I don't know where their eggies are, and I take my hat off to the dedicated and brilliant Zoomy! Who managed to find the eggies using the dam cam?
There is your pity Schiff! You like that, Sebastian? Five—another ring terrain liberty ship is just thinking about the remaining Impala in the bushes there, watching that Impala’s friends—thinking to himself, "Should I, shouldn’t I?" Knowing he shouldn’t but perhaps being unable to overcome his sense of impatience! Cap, the reason he's hanging around this location is that it's the only water in the area or some of the only water in the area!
Many predators choose this as a strategy to try and kill—they'll hang around water holes, and as it gets drier and drier, so also will they have more and more success! He also, of course, has learned! That this is a good place to be from his years as a young non-territorial male leopard! He's probably spent about, I'm gonna say, as much as 20%—maybe 15 or 20 percent of his time here—and it's proved very fruitful for him!
He has killed much that has come down to have a drink—sometimes in broad daylight, sometimes in the evening—and Impalas seem to have a profoundly short memory which is much to his advantage, although they are normally nervous when they come down to drink because they do suspect that there is something trying to eat them all the time! Because there is normally something trying to eat them all the time! They seem to become no more fearful than they would be otherwise at this waterhole; all he has to do is hide for a couple of hours, and they'll come wandering down again!
That, unfortunately, is going to be that for Hosana's little hunt—still, we’re quite funded! Well done, Hosana!
Whew! Now the lung keys have either spotted him, and they’re starting to cool, and that’s why he’s put his head down! But you should be able to hear the monkey starting to alarm! Tandi is around here somewhere! And whether that monkey has seen him or Hosana, I couldn't say! They have very good eyes, of course!
Some monkey again in French Miss Song—no, I find that word is deeply amusing. Alright, apparently the humble bumbler is still looking for Tandi! Four, three, two, one! The humble bumble! I'm very far away from where those monkeys are alarm calling, but I do feel as though the humble bumble is a sort of one step on the path to enrichment!
It sounds like one of those spiritual journeys one might take! I'm really enjoying my humble bumble! I’m buoyed by the joy of imagining Polly's face when he saw Marie! That's what's been—it’s completely lifted my spirits on this gloomy afternoon! I'm so, so happy for him! Our beloved Polly got—heh heh heh! Oh man, it’s just so cool! I'm so happy for him!
He's been dying to see who could worry and so, so thrilled! Then we got to make it also goes! Shar, long it's been since we've seen hookah Marie properly! But anyway, hmm, okay! We have arrived at Buffalo Down!
I sort of thought Tandi might have moved this way if she wasn't around the lodge. But I think she might be—what do we have? We do not have scuba; we do not have Sara—we no longer have a heron! Hey! Well done, Davi!
I can hear frantic squeaking from the dwarf mongoose, but I can't see them! Well done, dog! Awesome! Well done!
A plus camerawork, says Kirstie. I know absolutely now where these dwarf mongoose, 'cause I can hear them but I cannot see them! Hoping there might be a leopard here or some lions! I was actually really hoping for some lions! One of the only places they can come and drink in this corner, but nay, it is not to be!
The humble bumble is not for the faint of heart, but we will have to continue on with it until we reach our journey's completion! What to do? Do I go check the boundary for the lines and Kochava? Do I race back and place my bets on Tundi in the dark? Or round Galago? Hmm! We’ve got—we’ve got two leopards already!
I'm inclined to say we’ll stick with our current process and hope that she makes her way out onto a road! Maybe one of the other vehicles! There’s a lot of vehicles working around that area; maybe one of them will see it! Just doesn't make logical sense to me to go racing off there when there's so many other people looking out for leopards that side too!
Alright, we're going to humbly bumble off towards the eastern boundary now! I think that's my idea! Arpi! Welcome to our live safari! Our pieces—I want to see a lion! Me too, RP! I will make it my mission in life to try and show you a lion, provided there are lions on Juma, or indeed even if there are lions not on Juma but somewhere within the range of our camera! I would really like to see a lion—a lioness!
I failed dismally yesterday at finding them here! I have to tell you about my life yesterday! You know, you have a rehearsal for our TV show on a Saturday night and a Friday night! But last night was Saturday, and we did an ad break! I mean, we do practice ad breaks where we go countdown into where the TV ads come in, and my idea in theory—it was a good idea—was that he was going to roar going into the ad break!
What he did was, at 10 seconds, started going "Hmm!" And then, as Kirstie says, "Okay, hold off speaking!” as we went into the ad break, he started roaring! It was great! I was so proud of him! What a Jim! The Lion of speaking! Yeah, we should be fine; it’s just the truth!
I have this dream! Should have been all right here! But unfortunately, we're not now going to send you back across to James and Hosana! Apparently, my timing with the signal dips is shocking this afternoon for what her dream has to do with the signal! But that’s fair enough; here is Hosana.
He has now moved and come to the other side of the dam wall! Now he walks towards us! He's looking at where Tingana was yesterday, and I was confessing the petty chef is not looking particularly fat after his meal! So I feel like he could probably eat again coming down to where his meal was!
Hello everyone! I'm just trying to stay out of your way if he certainly does not look like a leopard! He's just had a meal! I must say he looks fairly hombre; he's going to have a dump!
It’s nice to see! Well done, Hosana! Then thank you, Sebastian, for the modesty with which you were shooting this particular scene! Mary, as far as I'm aware, things like burying the poopoo are instinctual behaviors—in other words, I don’t think he learns to do them! It’s possible that he watched his mother dig, and that’s why he does it! I'm not convinced that's the case because, you know, he’d have left his mother by the time he started burying his dung!
I suspect not! I don’t know; we're going to try and avoid driving over that particular bit—have done—and he hasn't buried that; and the reason he hasn’t buried it and it does smell something evil is because he doesn’t have a kill here, and so he’s not really trying to avoid being seen or smelt in this case.
Now, this could get quite nasty from a following point of view. Sure, try and keep up with this cat through here! Will not be a task for the faint-hearted, but we are going to try! They are going to be full of courage, aren't we, sir Destin?
Mm-hmm! Here we go! How many of you are saying I need to just collect the scat? That's very true! I don’t actually have a vial with me, which is not very good! But at the same time, we do have much of his scat, and so then really need—is that would have been a good one! A very good one!
He's having a little trot now! Oh, he's so perfectly camouflaged for this area! Turn off! He looked like he'd seen something—I'm of course not the only one trying to keep up with a leopard! Tristan Dix is also too! One indeed James, we are also trying our level best since I’m just gonna go back a little bit just so we can get out of his path— that's where we're trying to keep up with Herkimer as well, which is obviously easier said than done because he's on a serious, serious mission at the moment!
And he's heading straight north now! He’s changed direction completely, and so we're up towards quarantine now! If he didn't hear the very monkeys alarm calling, that's why his direction has changed.
Obviously, he's a concern when he changes direction like this because we know Hosana is in that direction! And, unfortunately for Hosana, he's getting to the point now, with all the disturbances that he's had in the form of lions and Tangan, that the risk he's going to have to start standing up for himself if he is to stay here!
He's going to have to start standing up to leopards like this and try and make himself seem a lot bigger! So we’re gonna have to try and see what happens! Maybe he's gonna start moving, and Komori is getting to kind of go and come into play! But let's see how we go!
Right, so Kael, how long until— I think what you say is this: How long until Hosana could challenge hookah Murray? Sorry, there's lots of people talking on the radio as Casey was feeding it through. Well, the day is coming where he's gonna have to! If he wants to be a territorial male, he's gonna have to start challenging—and whether that means challenging the likes of hookah Murray’s skittish male—his dad’s in Ghana at some point! He needs to stand up for himself and say, “Well, I want to be here, and I'm going to do everything I can to be here!”
So that means trying to be as territorial dominance as any other leopard where he's gonna have to saw, he's gonna to stink mark, he’s gonna have to show himself as a big male and not back down, which can be dangerous at times! But unfortunately, that's the life of a male leopard! At some point in your life, when you are young, you have to start standing up!
Now, if you think of somebody like— or some cat like who calorie—the amount of effort he's had to go through in his life to become a dominant male gives you an idea of how hard it can be!
I think let's just stay here since it’s not an easy job being a dominant male leopard, and it certainly requires a lot of risks in terms of taking on the leopards! I don't think Hosana is quite as big as her Komori just yet. Certainly not as street smart, no! As bulky, he has a long way to go.
I think until he can really stand up physically as well as, like I say, technically towards Murray! It's not to say that he can't put on a brave show; sometimes smaller leopards can chase off larger! If it’s and Haku Marian Anderson is a bit of an example by just being brave and far more aggressive!
It does happen from time to time with leopards! You know, put on this serious kind of show to make sure that everybody understands that they’re the dominant male!
But to give you an idea of where we are, 'cause it's quite interesting from here—we're quite high—so you can see if you zoom arts from way hookah Murray is walking that in the background; his quarantine is on top there!
So just the direction yet to walk straight now, he's going to be on the southern side of quarantine, that open clearing on the top of the ridge there. That’s where quarantine is, and Hosana is on the other side of that ridge!
It gives you an idea of kind of where we are! But I have a key suspicion that it's not Hosana that he's tracking! Hank, he's tracking Tingana's scent! That's what my sneaky suspicion is because he's not heading more than a northwest, and we note in Ghana has been around these areas!
So maybe that's where he's tracking or he's tracking Tandi who was came out of the drainage this morning that he's heading into! And maybe she's coming into an East Resaca saying, "That's why he's kind of following in behind her!"
But where he's going is the hookah moaning kind of special! It is the most nasty, horrible block in the world! And so we're going to try and follow him through it and see if we can manage!
In the meantime, therapy, I believe Jaime Patterson had a dream, and she would like to tell us all about it!
I have a dream! You know what? I feel this has been—works I've been dreamed of in proportion here! I fell—I will tell you what my—I didn't actually have a dream, I have a goal that I would like to work towards in that sense!
And by the way, I think if anyone can follow hookah, Marie, Tristan can! My dream is to start—'cause you know how we have the Versafari live openings for the, for these safaris? My ideal is to have the perfect timing coincide as a lion roars and starts roaring as the disclaimer starts playing!
We have the disclaimer in the beginning, you know, "This program features animal kills and carcasses!" Whatever it may be—features a live African safari, animal kills and carcasses, viewer discretion is advised—that I start strong then, and you don't say anything, you just hit the lion roar and roar and roar and play it all out right next to you!
And then you just turn it on and say, "This is fiery life!" That is my dream! I toyed with the best approach to that, you know, should I do this—is a lion and this is Safari live? But I feel like it would have the most impact with just this is Safari live! So that's my dream!
Or an ape! It's all—and not once have I—he, not once have I managed to get the timing spot on with my openings! Because he made me giggle there for a second; he reminded me of Steph's amazing moment many years ago during a rehearsal!
Steph had never done a Safari live opening, but he was on walk and none of us had animals! So as they were about to go live with him, they realized he'd never done one! So they said to him, "You have to say this is Safari live!" But you know, obviously, we do a little 20-second spiel of this is so exciting, whatever this is very life!
And Steph had no idea what was going on, so they said live, live! And Steph goes, "This is Safari live!" I mean, it was just this awkward moment! He looked at then Yali was the king of it—this is an Nala, and this is Safari life! Awkward!
This is how we missed those moments! We were trying to figure out his thinking face! I wish we had that when you can see Steph’s thinking face when he gets a question through and he hasn't quite heard the name, and you know he's gonna get the name wrong! We all do it!
My favorite trick is to go, "Would like to know?" You just make a sound approximate to what I think I've heard courtesy of the director! I don't know anything!
Show you, obviously, that’s why I'm rambling about it! Down the eastern boundary, he's a lot that goes on in terms of our preparation for TV shows and the funny moments that we have every now and again!
I once did an opening with Ferg, who forgot about that this is Safari live opening, and he just stayed on the zebra! But by now I have my whole speech planned out for the Lissa's file I’ve opening, and he did the slowest zoom art ever and took forever!
So by the time I managed to get this is Safari live in, I was completely out of words! Desperate and all that was visible was the corner of my eye! This is Safari live!
Anyway, that was my dream! I'm sure that James has far more complex and interesting dreams, probably starting this evening with Hosana catching a meal! The little chief seems to be allowed to pass on something, but no idea what it is! Oh, look!
I suspect a scrub hare, I think I've just chewed a piece of tambuti leaf! Everyone, if I die, you'll know why! Excuse me! Look, okay! It was a bird! You think so? No, it's kind of a—look, oh it was a bunny! Does he got it? No, no he doesn't have it!
There’s a bunny here! There is! I think the bird gave him away! Asana looked your left! It's just on your left! I can see him! The bunny is literally 20 meters to his left! But he don't know! He don't know nothing about that!
Alrighty, I'll just give him a little bit of space. Of course, the darker it gets, the less space we can give him and still stay with him! Sorry, I see, I'm afraid, I'll miss that! Let's have it again! The other radio was going. Wonderful to have you with us as a new viewer, thank you for joining us!
What was this about Africa? Oh, you had no idea that bunnies in Africa? Well, there are scrub hares! And so yes, there are some kinds of bunnies in Africa! Much bunny here in Africa, Africa of course—a very vast place! About three times the size of the continental United States!
There he goes down through there and up the other side! Hold on tight, everybody! Lift your drinks up and be careful not to knock your teeth out on your glasses! Oh, you should be able to get up here! You will probably turn and come straight back down again and pull another bunny!
Just squandered the other way to the left! I'm gonna go through here! Sip! I promise you that body bush will get up to Walter! We've driven past it! Yes, it's just hit me in the elbow! Shame! I think he would have had that bunny if there hadn't been a bird between him and the bunny here!
Now, apparently going to go to Jamie, who is doing something called driving on an ice road! Alright, humble bumble continues! I'm afraid I have no news! I'm now moving back into the center of Juma! Rex and has found the lions! So we know at least we're there! I'm not going to waste any more time checking the eastern boundary anymore!
Because they're on Torchwood with the kudu—not with a live kudu, with the dead kudu that they’re eating! Which is great! I'm glad they managed to get themselves as a meal! So that's where they are at the moment! Sorry, I can't remember who it was; it was a random combination of letters. RP wanted to see a lion! I'm afraid! At least the lions I was looking for, or not!
They're on Torchwood, which is the property just to the east of us! Doesn't mean we won't see lions, though! Just although know where the males are! They could pop in at any moment! David thought he saw something on this road! We've both concluded it was his imagination, but we're driving down it anyway, just in case!
Hehehe! Calyx would like to know while I search for things! How the puppy's doing! My puppy, well you know, I want Brent when he named her my Salwa that people would not be able to say my flora! Brent cannot even say my flora!
He keeps missing out the second owl! Anyway, naturally, it has become shortened and becomes flowy! Because a lot of people can't say that either! He's almost always Chloe! So the dog is doing very well! She's very happy! Brent's doing a really, really lovely job with her! She's house-trained! Mostly, she says little accidents every now and again!
She's a very—she's a Jack Russell—she is a force! Little force of nature! She no longer has to growl at the stairs because she can't go up them! She can now jump up them! And she no longer growls to get down either! She used to when she was a little bit younger growl at the stairs and then fall down them!
That was her way of getting down, but she's just sort of primed to be growled at the stairs in preparation! She doesn't have to do that anymore! She's very cute! From the videos I've seen, she sounds really sad because it's—hmm! She's very sweet! She has a favorite toy!
It's a cow! In case you were wondering! She's a little favorite! And then Brent's attached a bungee cord to the tree which she loves! She absolutely loves! It's got a little rope on the ends that she can pull! And she goes round and round and round around pulling on the bungee cord! It's her best thing ever!
Brent is paranoid to the point of hysteria at times trying to keep her safe away from owls and leopards and all sorts of other things! Speaking of leopards, I'm sure that her Kumari would consider Chloe a snack! Fortunately, she's quite far away from him!
Well, I can attest to the fact that Brent is a complete little marshmallow when it comes to that puppy! And it runs around trying to protect it as it goes! I wonder if Jamie's going to tell the story of her little incident with the puppy of late!
Coming! Did you have to walk right past us, boy? Hmm, you're a pretty cat! And she’s doing inside! Yeah, it's a beautiful animal! That's for sure! Sometimes you've just got to stop and admire what a leopard looks like because there's just something about them that is spectacular! Nah!
He's just behind the tree! Scent marking, swinging away! For him to kind of move! Pause! Gaby! Yes, ghost! I got that! Thank you very much! And hook him where his head is! Well, yes, it is bulky! But it's not massive! It's just that his body is slightly smaller than that of Ting Gana.
And so his head appears that much larger! But actually, his head is pretty actually smaller than what Ting Gana's is! Ting Gana has just got such a big body and jewel lap that his head appears a lot more in proportion than what you would see with hookah Murray!
Right, I'm gonna go back because otherwise, we're gonna lose him! And it's quite tricky to get in and out of this area! So careful there, since! Alright, I'm gonna try and get back without seating a false marino that’s next to me here decapitating!
Sin's! Our parlors alarm calling! So hook did you get spotted mob way! It's amazing how quickly this cat can move! He covers distance; it's like Tundi in that regard! Moves much faster than what you would expect!
There is that please, Roger! Good! So now we're gonna try and catch up! Where is he? Busy sniffing a bush! So while we have a lawsuit, look at Coco Marie, it sends you back across to James who's trying to keep up with Hosana!
But we are now driving through the thick bush after Hosana! He has gone north into— I supposedly what is essentially the Mala Mati! Oops-a-daisy! This is the Lord's stump in the way!
Right! Hold on tight everybody! Going to be a little bit tough! We go over! We are! He's just over here sniffing, hunting, looking very skinny! I must say! There he goes! I'll just get my fat head out of the way and you can have a look at him!
I don't know what the resting heart rate of a leopard is. Right now, his heart rate is—I suspect probably around about 120 beats per minute! I think it's probably slightly faster than the human beings! Apparently, all mammals!
And a cardiologist told me once, this once have a sort of suit within certain boundaries have the same number of heartbeats per life! And so something that is very short-lived has a higher heart rate! I don't know what his heart rate is; there! I'm guessing around about 120 now!
I'm not sure! He certainly doesn't do a great deal of fitness exercises, sir! I suppose it's probably quite high! That said, he doesn't eat sugar or other things that might push his heart rate up, and his blood pressure up!
Alright, here! And now he's going for some more thick bush! Okay! Yeah, I'm just gonna wait! Am I? No! I'm gonna go up! He goes back into the drainage! From here, it's going to be difficult to catch up with him! Alright, let's go back to Jamie while we try to get through this rather highness piece of Boosh!
Good luck through the heinous bush! We had some elephants, but they barreled off to the south! So I'm trying to go round some on Ed Wood Road! I assume they're going to chew to a dam for a drink! Or perhaps I might follow them there!
But I just have to get through the morphed part here to do so! My humble bumble produced an animal, but then it ran away! Actually stable animals—they were large animals but they've disappeared! See if we can catch them! I think a bit of Ferrari Safari! But you never know; we might find a leopard on a ton dams—
I haven't seen elephants since for so long! They might go to twin dams! Come to think of it, there’s not much water, though! It's not very nice water, and elephants are notorious fussy when it comes to their state of their drinking water! If they can drink clean-ish with a wolf, they much prefer it! And twin dams is basically mud at the stage!
One jolly good wallow from a herd of elephants will be gone! But let's see! Their mind—you can be either got a twin or two Chitra! I assume they haven't been seen on a dam camera! Alright!
I'm gonna go through a couple of signal dips on my way to the elephants! While I do, let’s head across there to hookah Maureen, who’s made it out of the thickets and into the open!
I'm still following! Oh, come on! Use now popped out onto quarantine and is definitely on the trail of a leopard! Which leopard it is I don't know! But there's been lots of Flemming grimacing, lots of smelling and looking! He's been shouted at by about forty million other antelope as well, and he is on a bit of a mission at this stage!
They're hitting sort of straight northwards! I'm going to try and just repeat turn! You should hear a kudu bark shortly, which I'll try to norm for James! With the age difference between hookah Murray and Hosana, difficult to say because we don't have any accurate age for Herkimer, but we reckon it must be about given Kumari's probably about three to four years older than Hassan!
I can see the courier on my rights! I'm eternal for this because I'm hoping they're gonna bark at him! Just want to give a bit of space! But you can see the male and females! Isn't that cool? I'm actually gonna see he's coming up closer— not barking because I think they pretty! But they we got might have heard it in the background!
Almost sounds like a dog that's barking! It’s be trying to stay in front of him so that you can see him as he walks towards us because he's got the most menacing eyes! So of course, it would be them! Kooty barks when I start the vehicle! What's they barked quite a bit already!
He's probably—why they're not making too much noise! We'll just give Maria a little bit more space! And then we'll stop again! I'll sort of try and see where I'm going so that I don’t crash!
Alright, since you reckon that's good, I think if we go a little further, then we'll have a nice straight line to a camera as well as a lot more space that we can work with! There we go! He's probably gonna same park on these bushes just on the left here where the marula is, I would imagine! Let's see if he does!
Good! Looks like his limpid Sint Marky spot, doesn’t it? Let me go! He's sniffing around! It might lift his tail! Let's see if he does! Nope! He's decided he's not going to Saint Mark there! But I thought he might! Looks quite close for him to do so!
It's always nice to stay in front, and especially when you're gonna nip it as relaxed as one of these guys! Because it allows you these incredible views of a leopard walking straight at you which is always so nice rather than just seeing the tail!
I'm gonna go quite a long way now! Is that nice straight road! So don't worry! Rusty's not sick; I'm just still in low range from when we cross the drainage just now, sir—that's why Rusty is revving as high as it is!
But I'll cool with that! He's just kind of moving straight at us at the moment! There will be a nice kind of view of him walking directly towards where we are! You can see he's just stopping and listening every now and then!
Christine, I must admit I disagree completely! Herkimer’s eyes in no way remind me of Anderson male's eyes! They're completely different colors! So I don't see the resemblance at all! It's not to say that he can't remind you of Anderson! I mean these things are possible! But for me, it's not the case! I don't know!
Maybe others agree with you, but I certainly don't see it! For me, his eyes are a lot more orange in color! In fact, his eyes are a lot more like the mullah's eyes! And his whole demeanor and body's shape than everything looks a lot more than will alike the in Anderson!
Anderson's got these much lighter color that's—yes, okay—see right! Maybe it is just the intensity in which he kind of stays at you that reminds you of that! But I don't know! He just has a different look altogether!
Soon the tongue should start coming out because you've been walking for a while! So hopefully, we get that tongue coming out soon! Isn't that a cool picture? We merely do have a nice job, don't we, Sender? And Polly has been absolutely spoiled this afternoon by hookah Murray!
Alright, so you want to look into his eyes! We've gotta go soon because you know, walk past us in the meantime! Let's send you across to Jamie who's managed to catch up with their eighties!
We've all been spoiled this afternoon! Where we go! We've managed to catch up with our elephants! There’s babies here and everything! I'm just gonna turn the game Drive radio down!
Hello, big girls! Babies touching in such a hurry! They're obviously really, really thirsty and got their water walk on! I think they may cross over onto the gallery! Oh, it's a big herd surveillance coming, moving at the speed! You can really hear them as women’s their digestive products—typically quite fleshy!
And I'm down in this character for one! Alright, guys! Where are you in such a hurry too? You're gonna go to Chitra, surely! That’s the only water in this and water honorable gari that they might be thinking of!
Who just managed to catch them and on the southern boundary of Juma just checking to see that there is not an elephant coming up behind us! This is an area where that's happened to me before! I mistook it for a ship! No saw a frog!
I didn't realize there was another elephant still struggling behind! Padonna says she loves elephants, and that we have made her day! I'm thrilled to hear it! I love elephants too!
So they’ve definitely made my day as well, Padonna! It's lovely to have you watching! We do appreciate our celebrity viewers a great deal, of course! Naturally, I went blank! I couldn't think of one Madonna song—not one! Totally blanked!
So he code watched him! Yes, that one! I lied! I thought of one! They must surely be going to Chitra! What time is it? I've gotta check the hyena dens because they're not gonna stick around Chitra in time for the TV show! I don't think it's too much of a risk!
No, you see they're not walking towards Chitra damn! They're going further south! And unfortunately, just on the boundary here between Chitra and about you! You know, huge hurry!
It's the first time I've seen them actually stopped feed, and so I first spotted them! Sometimes you watch hungry members of the herd, yes, get the nibbles while they're being raced along, and they reach out and grab a branch on the run!
That tree obviously is irresistible! Whatever it is, I can't tell! Another light! So damn! Looks like a quarry! Which wouldn't make much sense! Perhaps there's something in it they are after! No, oh, time to go boys!
That could only have been two males hanging out at the back! Cool Bob is nice—brief but nice! A vehicle coming this way! I might try and find out some information about what's happening this side! I think they think I have a leopard!
Alright, I'm going to just go and have a chat to this vehicle! In the meantime, Tristan is the master of positioning the vehicle, and he's found himself in the perfect spot!
We’ve reversed a long way again and managed to get in front of a camera who's slowly plotting his why lie along northwards on twisted axis! Unfortunately, the wrong direction altogether because we're supposed to start our show in an hour's time, and we're not going to have this cat in an hour if he keeps this rated!
And which he's going! The only saving grace is that if he keeps on this road, he's answered! Well, definitely will pick up Tinga's scent! This is waiting on! Was found this morning!
Was on this road! So it wouldn't be surprising, that's what he's busy smelling! You can see—look! He's got his nose there; he's kind of checking that bush when lifting Ghana didn't stink mark there and now it's a battle of St. walking and boundary marking to make sure that each one understands where the limits of their boundaries are!
But he looks like he's ready for a fight! Doesn't he? It reminds me of Mike Tyson! This leopard! He's got that same kind of demeanor to him!
Right! Since I'm going to move back a little bit further again just so we can have the same shot very nicely! And you can have a lip—a nice shot of the leopard! Like that! The nice thing is I've also taken it out of low range, which means you guys don't have to listen to the whining engine of a Land Rover!
Tear marks it doesn’t until it sees the male leopard! So it doesn’t have any idea that it’s bigger until such time as it sees the other male! And then obviously it will realize, "Hang on a second! I'm not as big as the other one!"
But it will try and vocalize and stink mark, and do all those kinds of things until such time as that leopard will—they come together! And then they'll be able to work out who's bigger by size! And in terms of knowing if they are the leopard is bigger by size! Well, they stand side by side!
So it's much like you as a person! You can see another person—you realize very quickly that that person is bigger! Are you going for a poo? Yeah! Lovely! Glad that we all here not down there! Because otherwise we're about to have driven past that!
And I can promise you, a processed warthog that has been dead for three days and then it comes out two days later is not very pleasant at all! Yes! We can start calling him poo memory! Maybe that could be his next litter of Cubs—his pre-memory! And that's what we can maybe call those! Because there's definitely stole Shimmery!
And who could tell you that just needs to stay? Obviously, one of them, unfortunately, has died from the Shatila combination. But we can still—I think hookah to lose is the best one—
And not shimmery as much as hookah to deliver! Could do is definitely the better of the two names!
Boy, you need to stop now! Can you not sit down, please? You've been walking for the last hour and a half—actually almost two hours! He's not listening at all!
Right! Something that is far peuta did in this face! Walking down the road to me is the baby Ellie that Jamie has currently!
Look how cute it is! Absolutely adorable! That is a relatively new little baby elephant! Hi, mom! You clever girl! Get mine! Here's your mom! Here’s your mom, ketchup!
Hey, sweet! Unfortunately disappearing onto Little Gary! I want to start up because mom was a bit nervous! She's oh no! She splits up from the rest of her herd! So she was feeling a little bit unsettled! She's only got some youngsters with her!
He had to be turned now so you can see the baby running off because those little legs are working so furiously to keep up with mom! That good dog! Those long legs trotting along behind mom!
Ah, sweet! I haven't had a good baby le sighting in such a long time! They are so precious! Bye, guys! That was fun while it lasted! Just little feet! I'm gonna see if I can find its track! Although it's a bit dark and a bit gloomy now! Tail held out in excitement! And straight towards water!
Well, it was nice! It was a nice little surprise! Because I thought the rest of the herd had gone! And I have now Little Gary there! Must be water somewhere down that side!
By the way, I found out where the other in Kuma’s are! So there's three on Torchwood! Penis for at Big dam on Elephant Plains! Or surely side!
Well, my lips have given us the slip! Fortunately, James has done a marvelous job of keeping up with Hosana! Again, everyone! There is Hosana! He is giving us a serious runaround!
Judah is having the workout of arty DJ parts session II! Didn't expect this! Afternoon—just continue!
Hello! Okay! We've met it! The kitty is just in front of us! He's investigating a little termite mound! Stop here for a second! You can hear that we're not the only ones here!
Audrey too is trying to keep up with him! He has some very noisy guests! Hello, chicken! And Barbie, that's a very interesting question you've asked, actually! There are two likely scenarios where a leopard would be a non-dominant male!
One such as this chap finds himself in now, so he’s not—he just sort of hit puberty! He's not an adult yet! And so he lives in the domain of his father and of other male leopards! Actually, so he has not always lived in his father's domain!
He has been away for holidays in the domain of the Anderson male! So he’s a non-dominant male leopard! And then just before retirement—permanent retirement!
I mean, they often do have a period of sort of—I suppose you might call it territorial retirement! Where they don't in fact hold territory anymore! A good example would be a leopard called Mullah!
Who seemed not to hold territory for the last year or so of his life! But he mated! I’m not sure if it was a successful mating or not! I don't think it was! But what's quite interesting is that he did manage to hold—you know, to survive without being a territorial male!
We know of a leopard called—what is that leopard's name? We sometimes see forgotten—is forgotten his name? Begins with the name anyway! It's a leopard that seems not to have had a territory for any length of time!
He's held little death! Sitting before Kazi! Thank you, Kirsten! Who's held territory for very brief periods at various stages? And we've seen him once, and you know he pops up now and again around the Sabi Sands, but doesn't seem to have ever established himself like Tingana! Or a male—as armed—as Hokumori, of course!
So, yeah, I guess there are certain conditions under which a male leopard would not be territorial! But these ears have got a little bit mangled ear on the right-hand side and on the left!
Actually, this is a sign of coming adulthood! This is Tingana! This is not a sauna! Yeah, the sistine goner! Where's Hosana? Because we do definitely following Hosana! We found another leopard right in the same area!
He's in front of us here! He comes! He's just behind us! We've got both—yep, it's here! Right here, just behind that bush! This is amazing! I was just looking at this cat's ears and thinking that's very odd!
And then it is spot pattern Ethel; imagine phew! I thought I'd lost my mind! This guy can tell you exactly what's happened here! Tingana has come out of the drainage line!
I don’t think he knows what’s on this behind him! Well, Saana’s being totally silent behind me! Watch me, father! He’s watching him! Tingana has been—he's just lying down! I don't want to move just yet!
Hosana is watching Tingana! Just to clarify, or Saana is Dingaan’s son! It's just got dark here in the western Kruger! It's just after hospice 5 in the afternoon! And if they do meet, we're going to be fascinated to see what happens!
I suspect the father will chase the son! But it is interesting that the son is following the father despite the fact that the father is really clearly looking for the son since he looks a little bit nervous!
He's still smaller than his dad! Yes, Timothy! As you say, Father's Day is next week!
Alright, well, there goes Hosana! He's walking as quietly as possible! There are other vehicles with us! If you hear the dim crackle of rifle fire, it's not rifles! Actually, it's just cameras taking Bulgari Gio crafts!
I'm just gonna stand up and look behind us! I can't see the other male! Are you sneaking away now? I don’t think they’re actually going to meet!
They were about to meet almost entirely by chance! Quite fascinating! We were watching one came around the bushes and saw a lip but assumed it was the same one and it wasn't! It was actually the son!
At least the father just—let’s have a look down here! There's Tingana! I don't know if you heard that! Well, I bet Red River! That was Hosana shouting!
And I'm sorry you
