Ride Along With a Team of Lion Protectors | Expedition Raw

Right now, we're looking for a group of lions that we heard were in the area. When we locate them, we want to pass this information on to the lion anti-snaring team so that they can come to the area, check it for snares, and prevent any lions from getting caught.

If we can't find them today, consequences are pretty serious, cause this area is usually used by poachers for bushmeat.

Snares will basically tighten, and whatever body part has been caught—if it's the neck, it can lead to death, cause the animal can choke to death or get an infected wound. If it's a limb, that limb can be cut off, which highly increases the likelihood that the animal would die.

The whole time we've been here, nobody has seen lions. People have seen tracks, but not the actual animals. Today, it's a bit more difficult to find lions because the bushes are so thick after a couple months of rain.

So the lion can be a couple meters from where I am, and I would not be able to see it. We're trying to get a location for the collar that we've picked up, but there's a lot of drop-off in the signal and a lot of bouncing around—that's the thick vegetation.

Still this way, when we get close to the animal—say, between 40 or 50 meters or so—the signal gets really strong, and it becomes difficult to pin exactly which way the animals might be. So that means we need to keep an eye out.

Oh, it's here! Yeah, there she is! Right, she was—you see her? Makes me really, really happy to find this lion alive and healthy. It's nice to see her around.
