Safari Live - Day 154 | National Geographic

And caucuses viewer discretion is advised. Hello everyone and a very warm welcome to our sunset safari drive today, all the way from Juma Game Reserve in South Africa. My name is David and with me, Tree on the camera, AC VM. You might wonder what I have been doing there. I've been trying to get some flowers. I don't know that anybody has heard of flowers that grow underground.

What has happened here is the season is not trying to get any flowers, and all the flowers I wanted to get were to send to all of you, nice mothers, wherever you are in the world. I wish you a very happy Mother's Day. Ray VM agrees with me. To all of you, happy Mother's Day, and so sorry I couldn't get any flowers in. Whoo-ha! It's not the right season for flowers. I tried to dig some flowers down there; I did not get any. My apologies for us, but please accept our very nice wishes for the happy Mother's Day today.

Right! I'm not alone today out on safari; I'm joined by my other brother by the name of James. We'll be driving like me, and I'm also joined by Ruff caste; we'll be doing a bit of walking. Remember, this is a very interactive safari drive where we need you to engage us with your questions and comments. It's a nice temperature today: 26 degrees, in about 79 degrees Fahrenheit. So not bad to find out who could be out there for us.

I got a mission today; King Ghana was spotted early this morning by one gal by the name of Taylor, and I'm trying to see whether we're going to find him where she left her. One more time, welcome, and be with us for many parts of the drive. Right, so we got a mission. We got a mission to see if we're going to find Ting Ghana, who I have come to follow in love with.

And one of the original one would like to say hello to you and find out how his face looks like today after he did a bit of this morning. There he gave Gracie's Barbara up there, Craig. I could not say the name of the bird to Craig Paul because, of course, David was talking about me and worms; I didn't really understand him until I remember this morning.

Hello everybody, good afternoon and welcome to the Sunday sunset safari. There goes the Krista's poppet; you saw it flying away! My name is James Henry and, of course, we have got Batman on camera today. Well done, Batters, that was his thumb whizzing past like a bat swing!

Please do talk to us using the hashtag #safariLIVE on Twitter; otherwise, the chat stream on YouTube. We'd love to have any questions or comments that you might have on this rather subdued Sunday. I'd say subdued Sunday on account of the fact that I have yet to find anything more than an Impala.

Well, we found wildebeest this morning as well but hopefully we're going to have something with fur and claws today. I hope that would be marvelous! It's a lovely afternoon; it's warmish: 26 degrees Celsius or so, 79 Fahrenheit, I'm told. I think it's going to cool down cut substantially as we go towards the winter. In the winter, no, it will get cooler towards the winter. I meant the evening; we won't be driving continuously until the winter. We will be going home for supper before that time.

Good! I'm sorry we missed that crested bothered because it was quite possibly the most colorful thing that we'll see. Okay, now look here I am tired of talking about my hat, Ghost Rider! I know my hat looks tattered. Okay, I know it does look at it; it looks tattered! I gave my new hat to Ralph, that's why Ralph has a new hat. I bought a new hat for myself and Ralph is now wearing it.

That is why my hat is tattered and I have ordered another one. I unfortunately ordered a book with the other one in the post and the book they didn't get until now which means it's only going to be delivered in two weeks. If it is offending you, so appalling to me, then I should buy another one that won't fit me and I look silly!

Thank you, thank you; Luke says he thinks it's got character. Those driving, you are correct though. I mean, in all fairness, I must admit that it's a scrappy-looking hat and it does need to be replaced. I mean, it is a little tired. Thank you, you say my hat is perfect, just like me! At least you don't have to look at that all the time, my bald head.

There was a time when I started this job that I was unable to take my hat off in front of the camera. So ashamed was I of my male pattern baldness! But you have all been so nice to me over the years that I now know that you will accept me for who I am, just like my mother does! And I need to say that of course because today it seems like a slightly ridiculous opening segment, but there it is.

Now let us hope for something in these hearings: a thunder of water pigs! Yes, I think that this is a very good topic of discussion while we look towards that crowned lapwing over there and a hornbill. Good grief! Two species and even some starlings over here. Ting Ghana saw this morning; I was extremely excited when I heard that!

In fact, I got slight two goosebumps when I heard that the old fellow was back telling everybody that he was feeling much better. He had been, and that Hawk Murray had better watch it out! That is the crowned Lapwing, in case you were wondering, and there we have a red-billed hornbill. Marvelous!

Well, we'll keep looking around here, northwestern corner. I'm not sure where else we're gonna go; probably the far east as well, maybe down to Chitra depending on what David finds. On the subject of David, let's go and see if he's found his lipids that he's in love with!

Yes, I got a mission today and a very big mission because having our Taylor sported a spotted chingada this morning that makes my life easier. I got a feeling in my heart we will have to have been seeing here since I got this car!

Ting Ghana in a way has touched my heart! I mean his walking style, his size, the broad hair that he got, the dual up, you know that she has. I mean, all these features make me think he's pretty special! Colorado, and above all, I love the name! I could be wrong but I think if I remember very well, I was taught in Ghana means shy. I feel that's a local language and instinct it’s being shy and to me, he looks very bolder!

He looks very bold a few times where my eyes came in contact with his. On one, he looks at me, and I give him an eye, and as I've been saying the talking of leopards in Kenya is very different from here. Every time he would look at me, my eyes would slowly go away like that as much as every camera operator after me.

David, relax; nothing out of the ordinary! Nothing is going to happen! So let me see how my body language will be today, how far my eyes will track deviate from his gorgeous eyes. I'll give you my own personal feeling by the end of my visiting with Singhania.

It's not very far from where we are. VM, let me know where to turn from; we should go to the right, so we'll turn to the right and from this point go upwards and go to Hajikko, the Muromachi river. We just shouldn't; how much means by eating waters right? Yeah, so it's Church, I was such right from where we are. Do you think it's up there?

Okay so we're gonna go in from here, okay? Just to make sure it goes well and that gives my car more talking and seating Ghana here. David comes; we need to avoid some of these stones here by the tree; some are huge and they're like nails and they could easily give you a flat tire. You don't want to change your tire when you're so close to big boy like Ting Ghana!

Why told you asking whether the rain is expected here for the next two days this time of year? And we're talking the same subject earlier with VM, and he told me he doesn't see any rain coming here the next few weeks. What do you reckon them rains? What time do you expect? Wow, VM tells me there are some rains this time around last year, so it could happen.

But I can tell you, if you want to talk about rains, you go to Kenya. You see what rains are there! So yeah, VM tells me it might; it's my note! We just cross fingers and sometimes the weather in Africa has been very erratic the last couple of years.

So the time we expect rain it doesn't come, and the time we don't expect rain, we get flooding. And like what's happening in Kenya now is something we have not seen in very many years. So this is what in Ghana was spotted this morning by Taylor. We slowly want to keep our eyes going hundred and eighty degrees, the left to right and find out whether he could be hiding and waiting for me to reintroduce myself again.

All the way from Kenya and you never know. Ruff caste would like to say hello to all of you!

Well good afternoon everybody and welcome to the afternoon bushwalk. We're coming to you live on foot from the Juma concession of the greater Kruger National Park of South Africa. My name is Alf Kirsten and on the camera we've got Davi. Davi, how's it? Davi, now please don't forget to join us on the hashtag Safari live on Twitter and on the YouTube live chat.

Join us on this interactive bushwalk! Now, the idea this afternoon I've actually taken a vehicle and driven out and then we're walking from there because I wanted to get a little bit away from camp and just access a couple of different areas that I haven't walked before.

The idea has been to come to an area where I've seen quite a bit of lipid activity. I've also seen quite a bit of hyena activity in a similar area too, so we've come just to the east of Twin Dams and I'm thinking this might be the perfect area for us to possibly go through some of these blocks, maybe catch up with them, some fresh tracks of Tandy and Slalom Bah! That's a possibility and also maybe get some clues in on whether there's any hyena dens around.

Yeah, on this side now, you can see a bit of the terrain. It's almost like you get these watershed areas because we got up quite a bit and sort of to our waste from here, leading all the way down to Twin Dams and their low water sort of drainage system.

But as we go up now it's heading to the watershed area and all this part would probably be heading down towards that particular drainage system. But on the sides here, we've got a lot of marilla's and perfect area for lipids and I know that there's also a lot of termite mounds around!

Yeah, so both lipid and hyena potentially excellent area for them! So we'll be looking up for that and, as I say, just coming to a new area for me on foot away from the road. We can access the block and see what has been moving through on this game pause, etc.

So I’ve just seen one of the little Franklin's jumping out in front of us. You know we do call him the heart attack bird, especially out on foot! And speaking of birds, it seems James also has one to show you.

Are we live? Are we live? We didn't hear that we were going to go live! Sorry about that everybody! We were sitting here with some magpie shrikes and they have now absconded, unfortunately.

And if I go back towards where they've gone, I think we’ll lose signal almost immediately. We're on the northern boundary, so let me continue forward. Oh, there's a Swainson's Franklin. Let me do that one. Swainson's purple! Can you see it there? It's going behind that gory bush!

Just see some movement there with its red face there. No, let me move forward! There it is, see you there, Craig! And the magpie shrike.

What I was trying to do before we went live by mistake, was look these things up in my app so that I might tell you something I have never told you before about them. And they're probably one of the less common ones that we have here. And under, we will do our best while we look at the other small things to find you a dwarf mongoose.

Say, as you can see these chaps eating seeds, apparently they also eat tubers, berries, insects in the summer! Most birds, despite what their beaks might tell you, will eat insects in the summertime when they can. Full of fat and nutrition and protein! And seldom in flocks as far as I'm aware. Yes, usually in pairs or small family parties.

Bold and conspicuous as they are. That's quite exciting, quite interesting, is that they drink twice a day. They're doing morning and evening if they can, and that's quite interesting!

So I suppose you wouldn't find them in very busy areas, but you do find lots of other Franklin's in very dry desert areas. But obviously, not the Swanson's. Good Unger, you seem to be belching or rather disturbing amount of gas into the air!

I mean the car, it's not Craig. Why hello James, no I'm afraid I haven't! And we do have our sort of inside man at Chitra. Chitra, that's Dylan Leo Smith, Bryn's brother, and Dylan will keep us posted on Boo Chava and her cub.

I think you'll probably find that they're in the northern parts of Mala Mala at the moment, which borders on. I think it's something like that, there's basically there's one very slim sliver of land between Chitra and Mala Mala, and I think you'll find that she's just coming on to Chitra every so often and then spending her time further south of that area, which I think is quite interesting.

I find that quite strange because I don't know what other females there are in that area, but for the fact that Tandy used to spend most of her time in the Chadwick area, which now seems to be almost devoid of female lipids...

Wonderful sighting of the virtual starling, common as you like! But seldom do we get a great sighting of them in good light like this, nor do we get them singing solos; this one is giving you a wonderful aria! Oh and a little Jew tunas dump and tastic!

Hmm, sharpening the beak. That's pictures made infinitely less attractive by that thing that's now dripping down in a string! Yes, I'm suddenly not that fond of my virtual starling sighting. The voice is spectacular!

Wow, it was very nice! Alrighty, we'll continue along the northern boundary. David, is something else interesting? I believe still you think I was spotted this morning and we are trying to fight through the timber, tea trees over the bush willows and keeping our eyes as big and as opened as ever.

Just to find we don't miss any bush because you’d imagine, it's a bit warm if he decides to go flat on the ground. I can tell you we can't see him, so we need a slight movement; a slight movement of him for us to be able to support him. And we have to comb the whole of this area as long as it will take us until maybe the same flick hotel or flick and EVA lucky.

Or hitch has to wake up and say Jumbo David, this is the area where he was Leverett! Telling leopards could be here and then the next minute they are gone. So no guarantee, but cause this is where Taylor left him he’ll still be here.

He would have easily thought of going to look for food, go for a drink and do not come back to where he was keep going forward, VM.

[Music] And such I tell you, we'll continue and let's find out what's the Bushwick hard for us! Thanks, Dave. Well, we don't have anything just yet, everybody. But well, it's also such a fantastic afternoon!

It's a lovely warm autumn day, but there's little bit of a breeze, and so it's very comfortable at the moment. Well, we always come up top this chick up from a termite mound, a nice high raised area just to see if we can see or hear any animals in the vicinity.

I think just off of from where we are here, there's a lovely drainage line that's heading down towards them low Watty. I think that's definitely worth a little peek down there. And we've got a nice big game path leading off from this termite mound, so well for me today, it's just a bit of a path of discovery!

I'm just playing and just heading off hopefully to find some predator activity! But as I say, no real plan per se for animals. I know that Tandy pralamba has been hanging around!

Casey, you can follow a river upstream if you are lost, but what you want to do is, I would probably more so go downstream. But that's just much, is carefully. David, he's fallen in! Bit of an odd foxhole, I think!

And so I would rather go downstream because for me, the further downstream you go with the river, the more water you're gonna have and possibly the more people might be around that watercourse! So I would go downstream and if you are looking for water you are always going to be looking in the pinned digging in the areas down there!

Let’s bend! Water normally collects near to the rocks; now head down into that drainage system and then just tick around and 50s any lipids hanging around in those trees.

And we'll just take it nice and slowly if there are predators down there because of the heat that we've had at the moment! I'm just grabbing some wild basil here, always good to make their hands smell nice, lovely!

And so, because of the heat, they might be resting up in the shade, and so we just need to keep on looking in front of us and look for any heads that just pop up! But he is flicking! And as we come towards them, so we always just listen ahead and the animals if we do get to cuss will always warn us with a bit of a warming sun, whether it's a growl or if we hear elephants breaking some branches, at least we can pick it up!

Alien implant! Our approach or not?! But we want to try and pick up the animals if they are in here and nice and early, so that we can make the decisions before we get there and before there's a critical situation that we need to just react!

You know we want to be proactive; we just walk through the bush nice and slowly, nice and carefully listening as we go! Sometimes just stop and listen; it's just the starlings cooling at the moment, nice and cool, one of those hot afternoons!

Now Dad monkey, yes! Well, you could be avoiding predators and about… you know I’ve spent so many years Archery in the bush that you know for me it's really interesting to find predators on foot in a natural environment.

We don't want to disturb them, that's not the idea! The idea is just to view them in their natural habitat, especially if they don't even realize that we're here! And let me exit without them!

Even a lovely nice shaded area coming up just in front, yeah! So, we're gonna skirt around art monkey; we're not gonna just go charging in. You know, I'm trying to find where these pedestals are!

We just take it nice and slowly and just want to see if there's anything around that we can, you know enjoy in a natural environment!

And then what more could you ask from being in the bush than experience wild animals, especially predators on foot? You know we can also experience bigger animals like elephants and so on, and it's all very exciting!

So, speaking of those big animals, it seems like James has found you an animal digging in one of the dung! This is a particularly well difficult done digging session at this time of the year instead, but as we go towards the winter and things are dry, less and less room to look for and eat in there!

I must confess; what a way to make a living! Come, let's get the new dung pile on a moveable road and see if we can find a couple of beetles in it! I think he rejected whatever he picked up there, so there could be dung beetle larvae and eggs and all that sort of thing in this kind of dung!

Also termites in slightly older dung, might find a few. Oh, he's definitely finding something in amongst there, but you can see why. Now when we drive it on the road and suddenly find these piles that turn, no longer constituted as balls!

This is why four or five balls of this particular offering have now been chopped up! I think we have a comment from somebody called post Fridays at Wright. Post Friday loving the birding! Saying so cool toast cider, not post Friday then toast cider?

Then coast cider; yes! I'm sorry about that; curse cider! No, I'm getting it in a year from Luke! Slight hint of sarcasm! You know and I’m getting here they're all but nervous of the presenters! No thanks!

In about four days starts hitting us with a whole lot of sass! Am I supposed to be deserved? Well scenic! I think like I was saying, I think what he's looking for is grubs and beetles and possibly even fly larvae that are in the dung but he's going to struggle at this time of year to find anything like that there!

He’s also, I mean they're omnivorous so they will eat things like quarry berries, so if he finds a half-digested wari berry, he might try and eat that anywhere!

Now he's fastidiously cleaning off his beak on account of the will- probably foul aftertaste of whatever is eaten after the elephant's done!

I'll just confirm with you just to show you how neveress they are! I'll read you a list of all of the things that have been recorded eating! It's probably sort of two things, but I'm pretty sure that it's a large, large amount of stuff!

Right! Most food items taken from ground many by digging with Bill in loose soil, detritus or herbivore droppings will...

We've seen that! Hungry! Yeah, 35 percent and 65 percent of wet and dry season food items respectively in herbivore dropping! So, I'm talking, I'm talking nonsense saying here that in herbivore droppings they are more likely to find their food in the dry season!

I suspect that's because there are so few insects anywhere else anyway. They will prey on foot on all Hawk insects, largely insects, beetles, ants, termites, flies, eggs, larvae, and larger arthropods! Grasshopper centipedes, tim on satellite school sometimes even miss Ling Birds!

Who I've just since rarely eat small seeds and fruits! Eg of the Shepherd's tree, so don't eat a lot of fruits then! So definitely not looking for quarry berries in amongst that dung! I think what we should probably do then is go and look in the dung ourselves!

What do you say, Craig? Are you excited to go and rummage around in dung? So let me just clarify what that said; that said it's often looks through dung right! And it gets 65% of its dry season forage!

I mean, obviously there's not every single bird in every single area, but in the Limpopo Province which is where we are here, it gives 65% of its dry season forage from a dung pile like this one!

Well, you can see what it sees here; car's not moving, is it? It is! Alright, so if you want to link, link away! You just tell Craig! So what we've got, we've got ants; lots of ants!

There are actually lots and lots of little beetles and things in here! Tiny little things! What else? I'll try and catch you a beetle! Let me just bring you this piece!

Nice! Is Carl moving? So it is still quite moist; it's pretty disgusting the stage of sudden existence! Can you see things crawling around in there, Craig, as I break it open?

So just look, focus there! There's a BT, yeah, you see there? Black beetle! Yes! And I’ll next my finger; you can't see it on your screen. Maybe they can see it there.

There are lots of things actually!! Every time I break open a thing; a whole lot of other things crawl inside! So this is not that fresh! I mean it's been here probably a few hours! It's cold but it's still moist!

So there’s lots in there for that hornbill to eat, and I guess the reason that the dry season forage is made up so extensively by on below, by elephant dung, is that that's often the only moisture that there is for the invertebrates to get into!

Very interesting, very interesting!

[Music] Exactly! Miffy, the smell of elephant dung, now pervades around the car! It is delicious when it is of the right vintage; it needs to be about a week old before it's really pleasant! And that's a couple of hours old, so it's not quite as pleasant!

Well, I have been looking at the ridiculous, David has found the sublime! Well James, I’m sure you know it's not only the hornbills that will feed on dung!

Particularly herbivores even leopards have known to be scrubbing and going through dungs of buffaloes or ellies and trying to feed on things! We do not know broadcast they feed on bitters inside those tanks!

And finally, finally, look who we got; there we got the do Quincy of Mr. T! And I think he is enjoying his cabin up has most cuts!

Who do people have always thought it's only lions that will sleep but even leopards given the right conditions will also enjoy some very good naps, especially in the mid of the heat of the day when the temperatures are high like now! Quite allocation, and who'd ever know that this leopard was there having not foreign information mercy!

Thank you for having followed me from yesterday and the day before saying go go go David! Lee openly reporting anything Ghana! Thank you very much, Massey, and I would say yes, which ago! I got Ching Ghana right there for you! Please enjoy viewing it!

And I would a cool cut! He is, I think after all the frustration I had at trying to get flowers to all the ladies to organize lady viewers, including my wife and getting you some flowers for the Mother's Day!

I think Ting Ghana is making up my frustration! Like, you know, David don't worry! I know you tried hard to please all the ladies through the flowers you didn't get any!

I’ll be here! And I think my appearance is going to spice up their beautiful and big day today! I just want to thank Tana and for this bang! They're not! Once she will leave a cat one place and you drive a new back truck half an hour later! Not three's, and the cat will be gone!

And more so to the leopards, you can see a little irritation there either from flies or something! But I guess he is just enjoying some nice nap!

He is facing us; you can see the whiskers! Quite nice location; it could be a bit cool where he is! You don’t see him punting as we saw him the other day when you could use to the panting in from the neck?

Even from the tummy area, he is like breathing very quietly now! What age could be another element? Ting Ghana, rock music? You're asking by not panting means he is not hungry? I would say no one! Yes!

Yes, in the sense that if where he is, he good to me, what I can see. He got very good where he is and that's like a good drainage area! And more from the not-drainage areas will carry water when it rains!

So out to the ground where he is, he's a bit cool, and that's why he's very relaxed! They're not panting! He could be hungry, also because... and well, yeah, I mean he could be in another fool when they're full!

They tend to pant a lot because what should happen, if it was so much food in it and the digestion is going on at the same time! So that one also raises the levels of panting! So yes, I mean it could be either, but to me that belly looks fine!

But I think he chose a great spot to rest! The ground is cool, nice shade from the tree cover! The bushes he is under there! And you can see just a small respect of him that's like getting the right Sandra swick.

It's very well shaded! And the movement apart from the ears that you see flicking here and there! He looks fine! Very good question and you're asking how much would Ting Ghana weigh?

Ting Ghana, as I traverse just from my look, how to say, he is anything 60 to 70 kilograms! Sixty to seventy kilograms I would say! Almost 150, 160 pounds, give or take!

And that's my estimate! To me, he looks a big boy! A massive do not big head! I'll give him an estimate of about 70 kilos or 150 to 1560 pounds in weight! In general, males tend to weigh more heavier than the females!

Ashley, you'd like to know if the leopards here are bigger than the leopards in Kenya? Ashley, I would say incidentally what I've found out, they are practically the same in any form or in any shape!

I've been looking at them for the last three weeks; they are exactly the same! Ashley sighs! Oh, check color! The pattern of the rosettes, exactly the same behavior! How they go for food and the prime number one food bank in Palace!

Ashley, I would say the leopards here and the leopards in Kenya are exactly the same! And also, they're the same species but very good question there! Because I'm so, I should have been following me doing parallels and comparisons of the animals here and the animals in Kenya!

The animals you get in Kenya, the animals you don't get there that are here, yes for the leopards, same in everything! We'll just be looking up and waiting to see if he'll wake up!

As it cools, he might decide, go get some, dope! Nice speak of the devil! He turns a little bit; shingana will get hurt on the other side!

All right, that was not bad! We know you are there, kicking, and doing well! That's a good sign! And he might decide to go get some dinner for himself or go have a drink or little stretch!

We are in no rush, and Jasmine, who is walking, has some a bit for us! Everyone, I've got lots of things to show you, but I'm down here in a little drainage line! It's heading towards them!

Well, what you were not too far away from waiting Ghana is! And I just want to show you a couple of things that grow down here in these river on top areas next to the water!

Oh, well, you know it looks dry here! But I guarantee you this water below the surface! One of these little drainage lines and we often get these kind of spark thorns down here! Lots of them next to the river on the edges of the riverbeds!

And always also tambuti thickets! We've been walking through a whole forest of timber teas and I was just saying that if I camp out here in the bush, I would definitely be camping in underneath some dumb booties because you normally have a very clear surface underneath a the elephant's market!

Because it's also very clear and so they've often flattened it nicely as well! But look at this! Walking through the river on system here we find all sorts! Not from fascinating vegetation but also some of the thicket animals that like walking through them!

The bush and niala being one of them! You can generally get quite close to them on foot and not as skittish as a lot of the other animals may be! And in fact, we've found them around our bush camps; they almost become time!

And they can often be in and around the tents! Especially when there's lions in the area! They almost know that it's safer to be around humans! And a little Kent then than be out in the bush where the Lions would be quite easily grabbed them!

And we often knew when the Niala were all banded together in little groups inside the camp! We knew that there were lions around! But this one just happily browsing through there! And you can see he's got those nice white tips on the edge of it on the end of his horns!

That does indicate he's getting to be an older bull in his prime as they start getting to that length! And that color on the top! You see quite selective that as he feeds, taking off the exact leaves that he wants!

So got quite a black tongue, some of it to the giraffe! But obviously not as long and thick! And we had the pole this morning; which one is which? Entered up is the most elegant!

The kudu one was the Nala coming in second and the bush back third! But I mean when you look at this in the natural environment, they are very pretty as well!

Hey scenic, I'm going to actually look around for some xerophytic plants for you! Okay, so stick around and I will try my best to show you! It's hardly a breath of wind! There's a little bit of clouds around at the moment!

And it's just wonderful to be down in such a quiet area! My silence is almost deafening! But I think we should move on a little bit and have a look around the cornea!

Now cursed, sorry, yes that little face marking and they've got all sorts of glands here on their forehead! And they will be marking bushes and things, right?

Like the impalas, hornung bushes you have, the duiker, and things like the type b, the hartebeest with the pre-orbital glands! They also want that hormones on different bushes, etc sites! It's all in; I love marking a territory!

So you wouldn't find per se and non-territorial animals marking in st. marking like that! It's mostly our territorial animals, and you wouldn’t find beasts as well! They also mark with their feet and they'll make big scratch marks!

And they also roll in that area defecate urinate etc and trying to mark the little patch of the bush! So, coming up here! So as I said we're not too far from where David is!

Within Ghana but we're gonna loop around now and check out some of the other areas of this particular drainage line! A little bit further wood towards the north but while we try and pick up some tracks and things, they teach you back to David was ting honor!

Yes! And the Duke Ting Ghana T himself still enjoying the end up there! And he just turned a bit and faced the other side and turned facing us!

And huorchi looking or hoping is that he might have a bit of more movement than before! You can see the head there, so he initially turned! Very good job there but walk there!

Good come along for him! He fits the other side and you can see now we have a better view than before! So he moved his head, his head a little bit out over the branch that he got on his head!

And that sometimes could be an indication maybe he's getting close to wanting to wake up and move! And as we're talking about leopards in Kenya and in South Africa, I think we had a viewer by the name of Ashley!

I just wanted to let you know we also got different; not a different species of zebra of leopards in Kenya! But if you go to the very high elevation areas in Kenya on Mount Canaria and another area, that it's called urban, their ranges if you look on your map, you can see central Kenya!

We took more elevation of about 7,000 meters above sea level, very very high! We got little paws there that are dark in color! You might be stick them for Jaguars or see Pumas! They're dark and they do not have any spots on them!

And you might think they are different subspecies, but they're the same leopards! But they tend to be dark in color because of where they live! And the ductless is just a color hybrid that you know enhances the stroking abilities!

That woman is so duck! It's very difficult for the prey to support them! But there's just the same species like the other leopards we see in Amara and where we are!

And we got something that the leopard in Ghana might want to eat! Sometimes very lucky to get one of these things: this is a bristling Impala! And he's now bristling at the niala behind him just indicating that he wolfs and the tail is up skunk style indicating that he is not to be trifled with lightly!

I got something about Ella's cactuses and Ralph's not for what that meant from the final control! And can we have that again please, Luke? I'm just gonna reverse slightly as quickly, going to talk to David while we look at this! David, that was all Barry saying he would like to come in only if Kangana gets moving!

So just keep him posted on whether Tingling gets moving or not! Alrighty! So he's now passed the ambit of the other male niala, which means that he can put his mantle down, his skunk tail back between his legs, and can move swiftly on to find something to eat!

He looks like he's moving stiffly, doesn't he? They all look like that until you see them run! It really is quite astonishing how fast they are! Alright!

Here we find ourselves at the Gauri Dam! Via tell of dam and there's no water! There at all but there is a little pan but those impalas go to Eden!

Parlors Nuala's go towards and during the drought we had some immensely wonderful action around there! We had everything: Buffalo! Hyper Potamus! Giraffe!

Ah! Now a few of you asking about why his hair was up on like that! I'm sorry I should have explained that immediately! Let's go a little bit version! I'll explain!

Basically, Nuala's and most animals out here will try and avoid physical contact if they can! Because obviously, or physical conflict if they can! Because it can result in injury!

And being injured out here is not great because medical care is less than, well it's probably better than it is in most of rural South Africa but it's not very good! And so what they do is they have this display where they put their mantles up!

And if you watch this chap, he's gonna do it again when he comes into the ambit of this other male! He's gonna put that white mantle up on the back of his back!

You'll see him! It's now erecting it! And then what he'll do is ruffle the hair out on his tail and stick his tail up as well! And what that does to the other male is display: I'm not sure exactly what it says!

It says something about dominance, it says something about I'm big and ready to fight if you want to fight! And then the other male will sometimes back off or he'll do the same thing and then they'll go through this elaborate kind of dressage pad order!

Or do it! And I'll walk around each other for a while! And somehow they decide that one is bigger and stronger than the other and then they split apart! But very seldom they will be unable to sort their differences out with this little belit ik Tai Chi dance and then they will fight!

And the fights are quite spectacular to watch! Yes, project alpha! You're absolutely right! We could pile erections exactly the same as these niala do!

But for slightly different reasons! So it's the same thing! The same neurological response and muscular response as goosebumps! Basically it's what causes the hair to stand up!

I think it's more voluntary though with these animals! And in fact, with most animals that get their backs up, if you like to get the hair up on their backs! I don't think we can do it nearly as voluntarily as they can!

But that is a very good point! It's quite possible that the desire for dwarf Mongoose is now about to be met! Well everyone, you know I just wanted to stop here because these look like they could be harvester ends!

But I'm not quite sure exactly what they are doing! We can see that there's a lot of workers all busy working! Working what? I'm not quite sure!

But there's one or two or three or four soldiers here as well! And it's just a nice spot to be able to indicate the difference that we could see between workers and the soldiers trying to work out what they are actually up to!

This seems to be some kind of pupae that they've brought to the surface as we can see with that at the end of my stick there as they all got to protect it! It's probably pupil of their or theirs!

I don't think that they've stolen it from anybody else! But then there's also, for instance, a little bit further back, oh no! Oh, yeah, lovely soldier! Yeah, much bigger in himself!

And I don't know what they're doing with these soldiers! I mean, every now and then, they just get a vibration or a blur! A little bit of air flowing over them and they all sort of rush around and they actually make a bit of a noise and it’s like sure!

And that's quite similar to the mutter Billy ends which are raiding ends! They steal all sorts from different termite colonies and other ends as well!

But these ones making a very similar noise to them as well! Now this is the kind of thing that we do start to see! Especially around this time of year now Paula!

These are actually very small little ends! If I put my hand next to them, there, we do get smaller red ends and we're gonna put my hand all the way on the ground because they might bite me!

And I don't want to disturb them! But we do! It's smaller little red ends! And these ones are more so like the harvest and some believe!

And what I was saying, around this time of year and heading into winter, we're gonna start to see less and less invertebrates and insects!

And activity on the ground and little nests like this! But the ants keep us entertained right through winter! So we need to start looking at all the different kinds of ends that we find around here as well!

Because they're going to continue everything else is quiet and dormant or in the egg phase or whatever! So the art fork also start to eat them more now!

Ashley, I'm going to exhibit what these little ants excuse me! Exhibit a use as a defense mechanism! Now one story just to look onto them and I'm gonna blow just watch! Yeah, you see that okay? If you're watching the nice and closely!

What's yeah okay? There's a little bit of running down towards the hall and they're all know! There's a few that are all just sitting waiting at the edge of the nest and I'm pretty sure that if you tap there or there was danger!

These soldiers would all come out! Now I'm wondering if these soldiers have actually been injured as a result of some kind of attack that they have had!

And this is the sort of the end of it that they just checking up on all the dead and injured and wounded! I'm not quite sure! That's why we've happened upon this!

And there is all sorts happening! But I wonder if they've been raided or as they've been off riding! You know you have quite a lot of these raiding talk parties with ants as well!

And then when I ride, they want to be taking the little pupae and things that we’ve been seeing there! And that we bring it back to their nest possibly for food which is what the matter?!

Billy ants do! Maybe there was a raiding party of matchabelli ants that came through here! Who knows?!

But it's definitely some wounded and injured warriors or soldiers over there! And the workers seem to all be trying to help out!

I don't know if they’re putting them out of their misery! Be chopping their heads off and getting them finished with the job so that they might be using them as food!

You know let's not pass ants to do that! Everyone is sacrificed for the greater good of the colony! And well, it's almost like Vikings, isn't it?

And it's incredible this cost system works! It's incredible! I love watching bees, ants, wasps, all of these sociable gregarious animals, with some of the most intense communication systems!

Now we're gonna continue on and see what else we can find! David is still the sting on!

Alright! Keep your tracks going! You never know watching my tea! And cam treating Ghana! He makes some slight movement there, a little stretch!

And hopefully he rises and shines and walks around! And I can tell you, all this time my eyes have been glued to this beautiful card! Who would not want to watch such a beautiful leopard?

And as I said the other day as Tobias I think he's doing extremely well on many levels! When they get to that age of 12 years! Well, Taylor might have said he doesn't have the physique he had before!

Nothing! He's still doing very well! And Robert, you'd like to know how many hours do they sleep for? Well, that's a very tricky question to answer!

Because there's so many factors that come into play: availability of food to the condition of the leopard! And three, a general behavior of leopard!

They're supposed to tend to sleep longer than others! The leopards, when they know there is a challenge to get food! They'll have to spend more time making sure they look for prey!

And either even if they don’t eat it, they’ll cache somewhere! And again, they're leopards! Who knew whether they sleep on or the moment they decide to go for a kill!

Robert, they will get all the ones without you when the conditions are right! So it depends, say from one lipid, Robert, to another!

Since the found Ting Ghana here spends pretty good time! You know having another fast time! I met him; he was sleeping, and half the time, he was sleeping!

The same case today! Minimum I think the question is do the leopard sleep on the tree! There's the question!

Look sorry, minimum! I would want to agree with you, or rather your question is do they sleep longer?! Who, when they get older!

Definitely! Definitely! I think yes! Just like human beings! You know notice when we get older we tend to sleep more!

You might have seen your grandmother, your grandfather! Please stand like turning the clock backwards! You know when you're a little kid how you spend more sleeping less time for play!

And again, as they age they tend to sleep more! In general, cats behave that way! And lampard’s I think no exception!

Now saying at 12 years going to 13, maybe max 15, it’ll be something commendable if he is going to hit that figure!

Ching Ghana, when do you want to wake up? And you must have been there for a very long time till left with a round nine o'clock or 9:15! So this is so many hours of nap!

And I should, Robert, is worried for how long I could not continue sleeping there! And you’d like to know if Ting Ghana is trying to get his territory back?

I think he is still in very good shape, and I'll not be surprised if he tries to reestablish his territory! And like any other animal, as you know, age catches up!

You still want to show the other animals all set for this case! The leopard here, you still won't show the other males you are still there alive, kicking, and you at your best!

So minimal there could be a possibility! He might start to encroach what used to be his surgery very very quietly but surely!

I'm sure he may want to do that, but he got a huge territory from what I gathered! King Ghana got a pretty good territory!

If anything, he is only concerned maybe with Haku Mori, who I haven't met! I'm really looking forward to meet Hook Murray!

Typically parts typical cuts enjoying ups! Same case we see in Kenya you know even the Mara but in the Mara they tend to sleep more! You know in midday or in the heat of the day like this on top of the trees unlike on the ground!

That's rather strange! And then when you go for the north to the central part of Kenya, I was talking about where you have these black or what you called melanistic leopards!

They tend to remain in thickets in the grass right on the ground! Very rare you see them climbing trees because it's very very cold!

Or such high elevation of about 15,000, also feet anything above a big tree like that embodies or the marula would be very very cold for the leopards!

So they won't keep in the grass and where they pushes of the classes are much and that way we'll be able to keep the body temperatures warm!

Lucas, welcome to our world! And please remember Lucas you found out maybe how you send us questions on Twitter! Hashtag Safari Life!

Oh, can always look up followers on the YouTube mainstream! And thank you for joining us! Yes, I think male APIs in general yes stronger than the females!

And in animal kingdom, males be they leopards, lions, elephants, buffalo's! They tend to be stronger than females and I think Ting Ghana is a classic example!

And also the Buddha size is a big! If you look at them carefully, you'll notice, for example, in Ghana this is one of my favorite leopards!

Lucas, that of country level! They are the many leopards I have seen here in South Africa! He got quite a big head, and you can tell he's a male!

And a strong good-looking boy and come to leopards! Think of them! Again, notice just below their necks! Lucas, they got some developed big muscle hanging just under their necks!

And the females may not have that! And most females could be anything 35 to 45 kilograms! So look at that! All the males! Some of them may be like in Ghana might be double that weight!

I hope Lucas you agree with me when you think of animals and make sure you keep following us Lucas and sending us more questions!

And that way we will be able to educate you! And you engage us! Just love this boy and my friend James has something sometimes the leopards put on the menu list!

I don't think I've ever seen a leopard eating a Gyptian goose, but I suppose yes, there probably might! He's an Egyptian goose!

Yes, seriously desperate all seven still there! The parents here determined to make me eat my words about their skills!

It also seems to be, I mean this is not unusual for me, and I don't even do it intentionally! But I've managed to cause some offense by saying that I didn't think they were very good parents!

And I'm being berated from various and various angles on social media! And I do apologize for causing any offense there! Obviously, you know, doing their best!

I accused them not of any intentional neglect of their previous clutches! It's just quite fun to projectile anthropomorphic perspectives onto these animals sometimes!

Everything is fine and dandy here on a Sunday afternoon! Hippopotamus continue to do nothing of any great entertainment here!

And I believe all of you who are taking an interest in the lives of these Goslings! Giving a thoroughly enthusiastic thumbs up the day around!

I think that they are now going to have to become a major part of our safari lives show because they really are a regular character!

Always around, and mercifully unlike Ghana, one of our other regular characters, they actually do something!

And see there, drinking and eating! First in Ghana was very active this morning, so he's a little bit tired! He's a cat after all!

These fellows are on the forage all the time for algae, seeds, fresh grass! Now I do know of course, and this is for David Guiteau that they do not taste good!

And they don't taste good! Well, there are two stories about this! Firstly, I know that they are not very favoured in most parts of South Africa!

Because they occur on golf courses everywhere you go! Now South Africa is a place of rampant unemployment, and there are a lot of people who are not going to look askance at eating a wild bird if it's available!

And there's certainly lots of them available all over the place! They're very widely distributed even in cities! And yet they remain uneaten, which tells me that there must be a fairly unpleasant taste to them!

The other thing though is to say that my father has a friend, who's... all my parents have neighbours! And the lady of the house, this is no, no! She knows how to cook it nicely!

You can take the, you can mince the breast of an Egyptian goose and you can make a toast quite nice! So I did say, well is that not because you know with mince basically tastes are tests like whatever you put in it!

And she did sort of agree that that was probably the case! And I'm sure ting Ghana would agree with me! It's probably why he doesn't eat them very much!

Pulses he gets older they may become more and more part of his diet! Hopefully not these seven! There we need to name them after seven famous siblings!

Our team, we are going to look and see if I can find some individual markings on these juices perhaps, too, for naming purposes!

In the meanwhile, Ralph is looking at pool, looking at an entire ecosystem and all sorts it's going on inside this elephant pirata, because look at that!

There's a whole termite colony that has made itself home inside the poo of an elephant ball! And well after that, it looks like the ents have invaded and they're taking lots of little termites away with him!

There's a whole war going on here! It seems a big battle between the termites and the ends! Now these termites, as you can see, if Davi can cut in on some of these ends that are busy carrying termites away!

These are obviously carnivorous ants that have attacked this mound! But these little termites, white as they are, they don't have any pigment in their skin!

So they're not able to actually do the work that they need to in the midday sun! So when the sun's hot, they would literally get sunburned this one there!

And so what they do is they go on the inside of things! Or they cover it with some of the soil and saliva! And then they work on the inside!

But in this case, they've literally just come up from underneath I would say and then been working on the inside! And they've been working away at all of these grass clippings!

And it seems the elephant is made they laugh easy because normally they'd have to go out and carry that back into their nest!

Well, they've been enjoying just the fruits of the elephant having collected all for them! And the ants have invaded and are carrying away a lot of the termites and carnivorous ants, obviously, are going to be going and eating that back in their own burrow!

So all sorts happening, hey! And wonderful to see how just one elephant dung ball can make such an ecosystem! With the termites first of all degrading that, turning that grass back into some similar bill energy!

And now the ants having attacked them! You know it’s almost completing a whole little cycle from the grass coming up through the soil, the elephant's feeding on that, the termites feeding on the dung that the elephants have dropped!

And now the ants feeding on the termites which have been made available as food for them! It's absolutely insane! The entire little system and cycle that is unfolding right in front of us!

And wonderful to see the little intricate system of tunnels that the termites have within one simple dung ball of elephant! It is fascinating, so that's what I'm saying!

We need to look a little bit closer in winter to find especially ants and termites doing all sorts of incredible little many sagas that are going on here in the bush!

And it's not always about their big stuff! Carol and I agree with the absolutely relentless! These ants are just going for it! And everywhere, it's all for one and one for all!

They will sacrifice themselves for the bigger good of the colony! And it is just fascinating! I'm sure that these termites have also activated all the soldier to mats as well!

But it seems the ants sometimes, you know, they do take them by surprise! And by the time the soldiers of the termites have been activated it's a little bit too late!

Well from the predators of the tiny minuscule world and the happenings of inside a dung bowl of elephant! Let's head you back to David with Ting Ghana!

Yes, the tongue buster's betos! The tongue you'll get also being eaten by lip for the times! And our Duke is still having the best of his time, just sleeping, not bothered by us and bothered by what's happening on the outside world!

And the last four days when we saw him as a kid, he had two different kills! He had two impalas at about 300 meters apart! That caught me by surprise because I don't think I have ever seen a stretch or a scenario where a leopard will have two kills!

And we had similar theories when we went back to camp anyway debating ostrich! That's the best you can do for us? Okay! We'll wait!

Look at that eye there! We’re here! Can you see me, Ting Ghana? Don't cause you! I open it up, open your body and your eyes!

Well, maybe not now! And we still had a bit of a debate! Did Ting Ghana make the two kills? Or did he snatch one kill maybe from another Lepidus for example we're just thinking we’re not very sure!

But while in Kenya I have seen leopards going for very very big prey! And I'm talking about baby zebras, baby wildebeest or baby buffaloes!

But the largest prey I've ever seen leopard bring up a tree is an antelope called topi! And we do not have tripes here in South Africa! And it was definitely male and females!

I highly doubt they'll be able to bring anything bigger than they're in size! It was definitely a male huge male slightly bigger than Ting Ghana's tail! And it brought down a top-end tapas!

I like double the weight of leopards! You'd imagine that! But the most interesting thing is how it's a drugged vast around P that you see!

Such as trees got very thick trunk just like the jackal berries! But thick and reformed! Very good basis! The angles of the branches are just like the rolla trees which are very good to patch up some nice kilo!

I want to show you a photograph of how a copy looks like! And we'll compare it to it is cousins here in South Africa what we call the Sesame and Liam!

Very kind of you nut! This is our topi back in Kenya! And the top is about 140 kilos! So we're talking almost 300 pounds of weight!

You would imagine it, almost 300 pounds! And the fully grown male loved layer part with about 150 choice! The weight it was one leopard!

I think it was very bold, very versatile and was known to bring kills much bigger than it! And that was something I still want to see what is the largest prey King Ghana or Komori will bring down during my stay!

Yeah, and funny how they even go for small animals! Nancy, how are you today? And your Christian is king Ghana is so hidden and how did we spot it?

Well we had a small look clue from Taylor, who was out this morning! So we used, we benefited from her sighting! But then we kept crossing fingers, Nancy, that will get him!

Hoya, she left him! And luckily yes, we found him there! And I'm not sure the unknowns you got me earlier! I was saying I was a bit frustrated when I was trying to look for flowers all over the bush here!

To give to all the ladies on the Mother's Day and I did not get any! And I ended up getting a stick and digging the ground! To see what I could get! Any flowers growing!

And I don't think that has ever happened! But I was saying later on that you know this Duke Ting Ghana made up my frustration! Like you know, David don't worry!

I know you tried hard to please all the ladies through the flowers! You didn't get any! I'll be here! And I think my appearance is going to spice up their beautiful and big day today!

I just want to thank Tana for this bang! They're not! Once she will leave a cat one place and you drive a new back truck half an hour later! Not trees, and the cut will be gone!

And moreover to the leopards! You can see little irritation! There either from flies or something! But I guess he is just enjoying some nice nap!

He is facing us! You can see the whiskers! Quite nice location! It could be a bit cool where he is! You don't see him punting as we saw him the other day!

When you could use to the panting from the neck! Even from the tummy area, he is like breathing very quietly now! What age could be another element?

Ting Ghana, rock music? You're asking by not panting means he is not hungry? I would say no one! Yes! Yes! In the sense that if where he is, he good to me, what I can see!

He got very good where he is and that's like a good drainage area! And more from the not-drainage areas will carry water when it rains!

So out to the ground where he is! He's a bit cool and that's why he's very relaxed! They're not panting! He could be hungry, also because!

And well, yeah, I mean he could be another fool! When they're full, they tend to pant a lot because what should happen! If it was so much food in it and the digestion is going on at the same time!

So that one also raises the levels of panting! So yes, I mean it could be either! But to me that belly looks fine! But I think he chose a great spot to rest!

The ground is cool! Nice shade from the tree cover! The bushes he is under there! And you can see just a small respect of him! That's like getting the right Sandra swick!

It's very well shaded! And the movement apart from the ears that you see flicking here and there! He looks fine!

Very good Christian, and you're asking how much would ting gonna weigh ting Ghana as traverses just from my look! How to say he is anything 60 to 70 kilograms! 60 to 70 kilograms!

I would say almost 150, 160 pounds! Give or take! And that's my estimate! He to me he looks a big boy! A massive do not big head!

I'll give him an estimate of about 70 kilos or 150 to 1560 pounds in weight! In general, males tend to weigh more heavier than the females!

Ashley, you'd like to know if the Leopards here are bigger than the leopards in Kenya! Ashley, I would say incidentally what I've found out!

They are practically the same in any form or in any shape! I've been looking at them! The last three weeks, they exactly the same! Ashley sighs!

Oh check color! The pattern of the rosettes, exactly the same behavior! How they go for food and the prime number one food bank in Palace!

Ashley, I would say the Leopards here and the lepers in Kenya, exactly the same! And also, they you know they’re the same species!

But very good question there! Because I’m so! I should have been following me doing parallels and comparisons of the animals here!

And the animals in Kenya! The animals you get in Kenya, the animals you don't get there that are here!

Yes for the leopards! Same in everything! We'll just be looking up and waiting to see if he'll wake up!

As it cools he might decide! Go get some dope! Nice speak of the devil! He turns a little bit!

She ain't gonna get hurt on the other side! All right, that was not bad! We know you are there, kicking, and doing well!

That's a good sign and he might decide to go get some dinner for himself or go have a drink or little stretch! We are in no rush!

And Jasmine, who is walking, has some a bit for us! Everyone I've got lots of things to show you! But I'm down here in a little drainage line!

It's heading towards them! Well, what you were not too far away from waiting Ghana is!

And I just want to show you a couple of things that grow down here in these river on top areas next to the water!

Oh well you know it looks dry here! But I guarantee you this water below the surface! One of these little drainage lines!

We often get these kind of spark thorns down here! Lots of them next to the river on the edges of the riverbeds!

And always also tambuti thickets! We've been walking through a whole forest of timber teas!

And I was just saying that if I camp out here in the bush, I would definitely be camping in underneath some dumb booties!

Because you normally have a very clear surface underneath a the elephant's market! Because it's also very clear! And so they've often flattened it nicely as well!

But look at this! Walking through the river on system here we find all sorts! Not from fascinating vegetation! But also some of the thicket animals that like walking through them!

The bush and niala being one of them! You can generally get quite close to them on foot and not as skittish as a lot of the other animals may be!

And in fact, we've found them around our bush camps! They almost become time! And they can often be in and around the tents!

Especially when there's lions in the area! They almost know that it's safer to be around humans and a little Kent then than be out in the bush where the Lions would be quite easily grabbed them!

And we often knew when the Niala were all banded together in little groups inside the camp! We knew that there were lions around!

But this one just happily browsing through there! And you can see he's got those nice white tips on the edge of it on the end of his horns!

That does indicate he's getting to be an older bull in his prime as they start getting to that length! And that color on the top!

You see quite selective that as he feeds! Taking off the exact leaves that he wants! So got quite a black tongue! Some of it to the giraffe!

But obviously not as long and thick! And we had the pole this morning! Which one is which? Entered up is the most elegant!

The kudu one was the Nala coming in second and the bush back third! But I mean when you look at this in the natural environment, they are very pretty as well!

Hey scenic, I'm going to actually look around for some xerophytic plants for you! Okay, so stick around and I will try my best to show you!

It's hardly a breath of wind! There's a little bit of clouds around at the moment! And it's just wonderful to be down in such a quiet area!

My silence is almost deafening! But I think we should move on a little bit and have a look around the cornea!

Now cursed, sorry, yes that little face marking and they've got all sorts of glands here on their forehead!

And they will be marking bushes and things, right? Like the impalas, hornung bushes you have, the duiker, and things like the type b, the hartebeest with the pre-orbital glands!

They also want that hormones on different bushes, etc sites! It's all in! I love marking a territory!

So you wouldn't find per se and non-territorial animals marking in st. marking like that! It's mostly our territorial animals!

And you wouldn’t find beasts as well! They also mark with their feet and they'll make big scratch marks!

And they also roll in that area! Defecate, urinate, etc! And trying to mark the little patch of the bush!

So, coming up here! So as I said, we're not too far from where David is! Within Ghana but we're gonna loop around now and check out some of the other areas of this particular drainage line!

A little bit further wood towards the north! But while we try and pick up some tracks and things, they teach you back to David was Ting honor!

Yes! And the Duke Ting Ghana T himself still enjoying the end up there! And he just turned a bit and faced the other side and turned facing us!

And huorchi, looking or hoping is that he might have a bit of more movement than before! You can see the head there, so he initially turned! Very good job there!

But walk there! Good come along for him! He fits the other side and you can see now we have a better view than before! So he moved his head, his head a little bit out over the branch that he got on his head!

And that sometimes could be an indication maybe he's getting close to wanting to wake up and move! And as we're talking about leopards in Kenya and in South Africa!

I think we had a viewer by the name of Ashley! I just wanted to let you know we also got different; not a different species of zebra of leopards in Kenya!

But if you go to the very high elevation areas in Kenya on Mount Canaria and another area, that it's called urban! Their ranges, if you look on your map, you can see central Kenya!

We took more elevation of about 7,000 meters above sea level, very very high! We got little paws there that are dark in color!

You might stick them for Jaguars or see Pumas! They're dark and they do not have any spots on them! And you might think they are different subspecies!

But they're the same leopards! But they tend to be dark in color because of where they live! And the ductless is just a color hybrid!

That you know enhances the stroking abilities! That woman is so duck! It's very difficult for the prey to support them!

But there's just the same species like the other leopards we see in Amara and where we are!

And we got something that the leopard in Ghana might want to eat! Sometimes very lucky to get one of these things! This is a bristling Impala!

And he's now bristling at the niala behind him just indicating that he wolfs! And the tail is up skunk style indicating that he is not to be trifled with lightly!

I got something about Ella's cactuses and Ralph's not for what that meant from the final control!

And can we have that again please, Luke? I'm just gonna reverse slightly, as quickly! Going to talk to David while we look at this!

David, that was all Barry saying he would like to come in only if Kangana gets moving! So just keep him posted on whether Tingling gets moving or not!

Alrighty! So he's now passed the ambit of the other male niala, which means that he can put his mantle down, his skunk tail back between his legs, and can move swiftly on to find something to eat!

He looks like he's moving stiffly, doesn't he? They all look like that until you see them run! It really is quite astonishing how fast they are!

Alright here we find ourselves at the Gauri Dam! Via tell of dam and there's no water! There at all but there is a little pan but those impalas go to Eden!

Parlors Nuala's go towards and during the drought we had some immensely wonderful action around there! We had everything: Buffalo! Hyper Potamus! Giraffe!

Ah! Now a few of you asking about why his hair was up on like that! I'm sorry I should have explained that immediately!

Let's go a little bit version! I'll explain! Basically, Niala's and most animals out here will try and avoid physical contact if they can!

Because obviously, or physical conflict if they can! Because it can result in injury! And being injured out here is not great because medical care is less than, well it's probably better than it is in most of rural South Africa but it's not very good!

And so what they do is they have this display where they put their mantles up! And if you watch this chap, he's gonna do it again when he comes into the ambit of this other male!

He's gonna put that white mantle up on the back of his back! You'll see him! It's now erecting it! And then what he'll do is ruffle the hair out on his tail and stick his tail up as well!

And what that does to the other male is display: I'm not sure exactly what it says! It says something about dominance! It says something about I'm big and ready to fight if you want to fight!

And then the other male will sometimes back off! Or he'll do the same thing and then they'll go through this elaborate kind of dressage pad order! Or do it! And I'll walk around each other for a while!

And somehow they decide that one is bigger and stronger than the other and then they split apart! But very seldom they will be unable to sort their differences out with this little belit ik Tai Chi dance!

And then they will fight! And the fights are quite spectacular to watch! Yes, project alpha! You're absolutely right! We could pile erections exactly the same as these niala do!

But for slightly different reasons! So it's the same thing! The same neurological response and muscular response as goosebumps! Basically it's what causes the hair to stand up!

I think it's more voluntary though with these animals! And in fact, with most animals that get their backs up, if you like to get the hair up on their backs!

I don't think we can do it nearly as voluntarily as they can! But that is a very good point! It's quite possible that the desire for dwarf Mongoose is now about to be met!

Well everyone, you know I just wanted to stop here! Because these look like they could be harvester ends! But I'm not quite sure exactly what they are doing!

We can see that there's a lot of workers! All busy working! Working what? I'm not quite sure! But there's one or two or three or four soldiers here as well!

And it's just a nice spot to be able to indicate the difference that we could see between workers and the soldiers! Trying to work out what they are actually up to!

This seems to be some kind of pupae that they've brought to the surface as we can see with that at the end of my stick there, as they all got to protect it!

It's probably pupil of their, or theirs! I don't think that they've stolen it from anybody else! But then there's also, for instance, a little bit further back, oh no!

Oh, yeah! Lovely soldier! Yeah, much bigger in himself! And I don't know what they're doing with these soldiers! I mean every now and then they just get a vibration or a blur!

A little bit of air flowing over them and they all sort of rush around! And they actually make a bit of a noise!

And it’s like sure! And that's quite similar to the mutter Billy ends which are raiding ends! They still all sorts from different termite colonies!

And other ends as well! But these ones making a very similar noise to them as well! Now this is the kind of thing that we do start to see, especially around this time of year!

Now Paula, these are actually very small little ends! If I put my hand next to them, there, we do get smaller red ends!

And we're gonna put my hand all the way on the ground because they might bite me! And I don't want to disturb him! But we do!

It's smaller little red ends! And these ones are more so like the harvest and some believe! And what I was saying is that around this time of year and heading into winter, we're gonna start to see less and less invertebrates and insects!

And activity on the ground and little nests like this! But the ants keep us entertained right through winter! So we need to start looking at all the different kinds of ends that we find around here as well!

Because they're going to continue everything else is quiet and dormant or in the egg phase or whatever! So the art fork also start to eat them more now!

Ashley, I'm going to exhibit what these little ants
