This program features live coverage of an African safari and may include animal kills and carcasses. Viewer discretion is advised.

Good afternoon everybody, and welcome to the Mara Triangle in Kenya. There is a male leopard just walking behind that bush. My name is Steve, joined by big James on camera, and we are so excited to have you here! Let's just go back to him; he's over there. He's been walking and walking and walking.

We've been with him for about two hours. There he is! We believe him to be the ship's tree male. We just had the most amazing two-shot of him with a giraffe and elephant behind. Anyway, he is walking very far, the wind is in his face, and he was looking at a buffalo a moment ago, but the buffalo is way too big for you, boy. He is definitely on the hunt. He's been doing lots of scent marking and spraying.

Oh, there's a warthog just over here, James! He hasn't seen it. That is what he's been smelling. There's a warthog over here at 11 o'clock. He has been trying to sniff out this warthog, I think, for the longest time. Everybody, remember we are live and interactive! We'd love to hear from you—hashtag safari live on Twitter or throw your questions in on the YouTube chat stream.

He has been going from mound to mound, from bush to bush, trying to search for something, and I've finally seen another animal that is not an elephant, giraffe, or buffalo. I think he might have spotted that warthog. So if you would like to invite some more people on board, let's go for it!

I've lost sight of this warthog, but the male is... yeah, he has an idea. He has an idea! He is just there. He spotted it! He’s going to go into full stalk mode. Good afternoon everybody, welcome to the Mara Triangle in Kenya, where we have got a male leopard. My name is Steve; I'm joined by James. But Mikey, back over to the action!

He has just spotted a warthog. He has been... we've been walking with him for the longest time, and there's a warthog just off to the left. It looks like an absolute beast! It's got its back to him. If you have any questions or comments, throw them in below. We are in the Mara Triangle in Kenya. This we believe to be the ship's tree male.

I think he spotted the warthog. He's giving it a very good look, but I think he might be a bit intimidated by the fact that it is, from what I can see, a pretty decent-sized male. So anyone, he is probably about 35 to 40 yards okay. The warthog’s slowly moving; he's going to go into stalk mode.

You can see how long this grass has been. It's been very tricky trying to keep up with him as we've been moving through this long grass, and we haven't seen another animal apart from elephants, giraffe, and buffalo, which are taller than the grass. Hello, Janet! Yes, I do believe it's the ship's tree male, as identified by a few of the other guides in the area.

I've never seen it before, so I'm going on the judgment the other guides have given me. He is very relaxed. He's been walking past the car; he's been scent marking, hasn't made a sound, but he's definitely keen on some bacon, I think, this afternoon. So let's just keep on him. There, the warthog—I'm not sure where it's gone now. There might be a burrow there; there might be a mud wallow.

But by what I could see on the side of the face, there were at least two sets of warts, which indicates a male. Now, a big male warthog is a formidable opponent, so he might be looking to see if there are any other little youngsters with the warthog. I'm not going to move; I'm going to stay right yet because we don't want to influence either the warthog or him.

I don't think the warthog knows that he is here. Nicole, this is very beautiful and exciting. He's been giving us such wonderful shots. We've been waiting to go live on the actual afternoon show, and all of a sudden, as we went live, so we went live again. He’s moving forward.

You can see how he's going through the typical leopard crawl. Everybody, that is where they get the term "leopard crawl" from—the ability to get very low to the ground. Rosalind, I'm having another look now, and I don't think it's more than about 28 to 30 meters or 30 yards at the most, and he's covering that slowly as we watch now.

We don't want to go any closer, as I said, because the starting our engine; the movement—we've been very patient with him as he has been very patient looking for food, and this is his first opportunity that we have seen. So we don't want to get involved and influence it in any way, but he has disappeared into the long grass.

I just need to get a little bit more of an angle. Okay, I can see he is just below the end of that green bush, James. So now we can't see a very good view of him, but this is the way it works, everybody. I've done this once before—we were aiming a camera at a leopard looking into a warthog hole for an hour and 50 minutes.

He's just off a little bit left now, James. James can't see him! He's got very flat, everybody! Okay, I think I might just move up half a meter just so that we can get him in view again. Not going to go too close—areas there? Okay, there we go! He got him!

James misses the cross; he's extremely long. I've been hoping I'm not going to fall in a hole, but I think this is exactly what he's been looking for—bye, everybody! We can't see him. I've just got a view of him moving through, but the warthog—there are burrows around here; there are a lot of burrows around yet, so this is what he's been looking for!

I think we just give this another moment. Dermer, he’s really sneaking up there. There’s a big termite mound, a burrow just next to me on my left, indicating that there are definitely warthog diggings around. I know it's not very attractive, everybody, looking into long grass like that.

Joe, well, when you've got camouflage like a leopard and you've got this sort of cover, well, I’d hate to be a warthog; I'd hate to be any of these small animals that are trying to hide away, but I think he's completely flat. I'm just going to try to get another little view here in – visible hobby, there are a number of things that might warn the warthog: other warthogs, birds off in the distance; there's some Eland and buffalo running.

But just over here next to this hole, I can just see the ears of a warthog. I think it's got its body in the ground. Generally, it's quite tricky because there have been hardly any animals around. Sometimes you do find oxpeckers on warthogs, and they could fly off as an alarm, but warthogs would respond!

So James just here at my one o'clock, there's a warthog! Is there? And the leopard last time I saw is not far away at all! James can’t quite see it. You see my line here? And last I saw that leopard was getting closer and closer. This could go either way, everybody! You can see the warthog's ears there. Clare, it is—I think it's facing us, and I think that that leopard is just behind the bush.

Okay, I'm going to give it one more meter forward, one more meter just to maybe get this ship's tree male into shot. You see the warthog to me look like it just had its bottom in the hole and was just sort of chilling out, really didn't look like it was doing much, wasn't even eating; it's just sort of hanging out there.

There’s a lot of digging over there, so we can see the warthog now. The warthog is too clear over my shoulder now, and the male leopard is—okay, I can see him. He's just in front of the screen bush over there on the right, James, as the warthog—and the leopard is at my two and a half just in front of that green bush, and he hasn't moved from where we saw him before.

When he's looking directly, a little bit more right, James, a little bit more right, and there he is in the middle to the right of the screen now. That is leopard camouflage, and Christine, it is indeed the master disguise. So he is probably about 20 yards right now as we speak, and he's being very patient. We've been with him for about two hours following him, and this is the first real attempt he's had at any meal.

He's been smelling and sniffing, and no doubt he's been picking up the scent of all sorts of creatures along the way, and when we were with him, he finally stopped on the bush not far from where we are now, and he suddenly picked up his ears, and he started moving off in this direction at quite a pace, and it's only then that we finally saw the warthog, who is doing a very good job of remaining camouflaged as well.

Now, for safety, warthogs do go down into their burrows, and if they do go down, I have seen leopards dig them out before. It is quite an interesting thing to see. Obviously, a warthog goes in backwards, so it has the potential to come out with its very dangerous tasks or dashes and can definitely do some damage to all sorts of animals trying to go in.

Fran, well, the number one: warthogs are very quick and very fast, and they run away, and they also can turn, and they have big tasks—not just these ones, but the ones underneath that are sort of sharp. On the big tasks, those things are extremely dangerous, and they'll run out to a halt and reverse in backwards if anything's trying to come and dig them out. They can come out, and those tasks can be absolutely lethal to not just a leopard, a lion, to anybody!

Even on trails walks, you've got to be very careful walking in front of a warthog burrow. Okay, well, I can still see him in the long grass—he's looking directly at the warthog—the warthog's picked his head up a little bit more. I think he is maybe wondering whether he could get closer.

Joel, what we've noticed is he's been following a smell. He's been definitely sniffing absolutely every... oh, he's been going. For most of the time, he's been invisible in the grass, but whenever he’s had an opportunity, he's climbed up onto a termite mound, and he's had a little bit of a look.

And every time he's done that, we've had a look, and it was only just recently that something got his attention, and we don't know what it was. He might have heard a pig noise; he might have picked up on a very strong smell, but looking at him, he is looking intently towards that warthog, but he's not moving. He's probably trying to weigh up the longer he waits, the more relaxed a warthog in the warthog family would become, and maybe that would even come out of the hole and start moving around, and if they started moving around, that might make them a little bit easier to catch.

Well, everybody, we're going to close it there for now. But that is awesome! We're going to sit right here; we're going to see how this plays out. Who knows—leopard or the warthog? Who could win this battle?

Well, everybody, what a way to start the afternoon, and we're going to stay right here with this warthog and see if we can get a proper look at the size of him. Maybe that's why the ship's tree male is being so sort of hesitant. And while we wait, sure, and sum up the situation, let's send you down south to Gigi for his introduction.

Hello, hello, and jumbo jumbo everybody! How exciting—we'll start to see that leopard hunting! Well, I'm just hoping I would be able to be lucky and see some lions hunting because I'm already in the sausage republic. And what you consider? I think humans—who are those buffaloes?

Which—oh, I guess that’s the only food left currently for this sausage. It is now after taking every point, every vantage point, every high ground. Do I even be lucky like Steve and see the pride of lions that I love very much? This is where they live; this is their territory, and very exciting to have all of you on board!

Welcome to the other side of the Mara. My name is David, and I'm coming at ease, man! Oh man, where were you? And you're very hopeful that you are going to see the sausages because this day does not have given us a piece, and hopefully we are going to see them!

Now, definitely, Steve already told you what we need to do to keep chatting—hashtag Safari Live on Twitter. That is it! Should you have any questions, any comments, anybody want to know how King is doing? The last I saw her, 48 days ago, she was doing perfectly well! Now, anywhere in that grass that you see there, that's what King should be! I'm not sure exactly where, but I’m doing everything possible to see that I'll smoke her out!

Alright, no, it's the difference—one big difference between the Mara savanna and Juma is the vegetation. We have clear savannas here—very open land—and my friend Sidney is trying to scrounge some thickets, and he would like to say hello to all of you!

A good afternoon and welcome on board! This is Sidney for Maroney Miko, see Adam travelling with Jean Rey, who is my camera operator this afternoon. We are specifically looking for the spotted cat, and for in case if you need our attention, you can follow us on Twitter—hashtag Safari Live. You can also follow us on the YouTube chat stream.

I am just checking for the cats here; I'm heading towards the Tree House Dam area on the ground. Here, the evidence are very much old. I am not seeing any of the fresh tracks yet, so these cats are hiding this afternoon. I am not going to leave any stone unturned—I will be investigating each and every warning call.

So now let's go to Jamie, who is also on a search for something interesting. I am, I am! I am on the search—a very good afternoon to you all, and welcome to the sunset safari.

Oh, they were quite far in at this point. My name is Jamie, and this afternoon Craig is behind the camera. And as you know, of course, we have our SABC TV show. For some reason, today is just one of those days where the cats have gone into hiding.

And my plan for the afternoon is to go on to Chitra. Everything else has failed, so I’m going to go on to—I'm going to see if I can get hold of Dylan Leo Smith and find out what's happening around this area. And then for tonight, I'll probably pop back to the hyena den once we've figured out where everything is. So that for now is the plan of action, and we'll see how that all plays out.

As you know, when we go to this of the eastern side, we struggle a little bit with radio comms. So if you see me stopping in mid-sentence, with my mouth dropping open, it's because I'm trying to make head or tail of whatever they’re saying on the radio.

That's what I'm going to do now, as I'm going to switch crossing to the east. Are the Inca Hummers pulled a sneaky maneuver on us? No, man, there then, Coomer's pulled a sneaky maneuver on us last night. Last night there, when you were with Sydney down, I don’t know if you remember watching on the sunset safari yesterday. I said hopefully they will come south during the night and pop their bottoms down on Juma—they didn’t; they went all the way east and popped their bottoms down on Torchwood!

And it just so happens that it's a time when we cannot drive Torchwood! We can't—when allowed onto Torchwood when there are people there—it's a long complicated process. So they weren't there; instead, it’s highly inconvenient for us but probably quite convenient for them. Presumably, there's a reason that they went there.

Now when we go on to Chitra, we, of course, are looking for Kochava, for Tsuboi occasionally, and sometimes even Tingana actually.

Okay, all right, well, thank goodness for the Mara crew! They've been working hard all afternoon, and they have been thoroughly rewarded! Thanks, Jaime! Good luck down south! They and the newcomers—they are sneaky like that, aren't they? Well, you can maybe just make out in the middle of the picture some spots. Now that is our male leopard—he is flat in the grass, and the warthog that we were looking at has not moved.

I think it's sort of semi in the ground, or it might even be sort of in a mud wallow. I’m not sure, but it's not doing much there. It's just sort of lying down. I saw, and yesterday I was doing something similar. This whole body was sort of holding on the ground, and I was just the face sticking out.

So they feel probably a little bit more protected knowing that they are amidst somewhere safe. Well, judging by the distance, knowledge, we’ve come a little bit more to the side—probably looking at about 17 yards. And there is a little bit of wind, so you would think maybe this male would try and sneak up a little bit closer, using the cover that he has.

He's got lots of calves again; he's even got a little bit of a termite mound with a bush in front of him, so he might be able to sneak out. Before Kevin, you want to know how I avoid being attacked by big cats? Well, first of all, big cats for the most part are afraid of humans, so that is a very lucky thing that we have.

It's an evolutionary sort of code that I have imprinted in their brains, that by daytime, cats are afraid of humans because on this landscape—exactly where we are looking—this is where humans took a sort of liking to meat, and we started chasing and competing with lions and leopards and the like for their kills.

And so for a very, very long time on the African continent, through human evolution, cats are afraid of humans by daytime. So, for example, I’ve had to do it many times in the past—not many times, but a few times. Lions are invariably afraid of you.

So once there was a poaching incident that lions were eating the rhino that was poached and I had to get them away so that there could be an investigation, and I just drove towards the scene and opened my door, stepped out—the lions all ran away! Okay, the warthog is at the lions; all ran away from me. It was quite crazy to see a big pride of lions suddenly becoming extremely afraid!

There's a big male warthog. Okay, everybody, watch very closely now as he starts feeding. He starts walking around; he's going to the exact side where this male leopard would probably go as close as he can. But knowing now and that the warthog's coming towards him—this could be very interesting!

Okay, now bear in mind those big tusks on that warthog are very, very dangerous! He is facing directly towards probably one of the largest male leopards I’ve come across. He is a fantastic specimen! And one day I'll leave my camera at home.

Are you ready, everybody? Three, two, one! He's about two meters! He's right there! This is about to happen! That leopard is right there—about two meters to his right, behind his bottom. I think the leopard has been worried about the size of this guy.

My heart is in my mouth! Quickly, all sent through a one-word tweet: how does this make you feel? Exhilarating is mine! My width of Lepidus Rodney! He's gotten even flatter than he was before! I can't see him anymore now!

This should be the driving force behind the attack: a leopard would go for the shoulder of the animal! Why hasn’t he moved? I think he’s maybe become quite intimidated by the size—after I just talked him up about being a very big leopard!

Wow, sure, why not? Emma, a leopard has disappeared in the grass there; I think his opportunity has come, and he's turned it down! I can't see him at all! This is ridiculous! I was just asking James if he's ever seen a leopard kill before; he said yes, he saw this male leopard kill an eland!

Okay, everybody—hello, everybody, and welcome back! You know, with our male leopard once again, and there's a very big warthog that has moved straight out of the hole directly towards him, and he didn't do anything!

We don't quite know why he hasn't made any decision; I think the big male warthog started walking towards him and he got a little bit of a fright about the actual size! Still, CM is still in the exact same spot, as flat as can be—he was honestly about a meter, a yard and a half from the warthog a moment ago, and he didn't do anything!

I think he's still waiting for maybe some others to come out of the hole—now he's in there, as flat in the ground as possibly can get! If you have any questions or comments, please throw them in below—coming to you live from the Mara Triangle in Kenya, and my name is Steve, joined by James.

Many of you are wondering maybe the wind revealed him; well, the wind is blowing towards him; he's in the grass—the warthog walked towards him! Look there, look! The warthog turned around and put his bottom right towards him, and nothing happened!

I'm going to move up just another meter yet to see if maybe we can actually see what this leopard is doing! Last I saw, he was flat in the grass, maybe counting his luck that the warthog didn’t actually do anything— just the termite mound on the right side—check!

Okay, he spotted the warthog! Spotting him, everybody! There he is! The warthog suddenly realized he was there the entire time! That leopard had an opportunity, I think, and he's looking at this hole still! He is wondering: are there any more warthogs coming out?

Look at that warthog behind him! He is a beast! And those tusks are really dangerous! I think it would have taken everything in this leopard’s strength to try and pull this warthog down! You'll see the warthog's not even afraid! He's not even afraid! You can just see how close that leopard has been this entire time!

Hello, everybody! We’re having some technical internet issues, I'm afraid, so those of you still live with us on the show—how interesting is that? Look how close that leopard was the whole time! He didn’t do anything! I think it’s one of those “doesn’t want to bite off more than he can chew” situations!

That warthog has not left; he is still here and he might even try and chase that leopard! You know, I've seen female warthogs turn to save their piglets before against a lioness or a leopard, and often it leads to them getting caught!

But a big male warthog like that is only really got to worry about lions, to be honest! Wow, you see how the leopard is playing the aloof game? He thinks there are more piglets coming out—that's what he thinks; he can probably smell them!

Mrs. Anna, they are friends, and I doubt that they—I doubt that though! But he is a big male leopard, and that is a very big warthog! Lorna, you keyed my one-word tweet—there’s exhilarating—is so exactly what I was feeling and what an excellent word, an excellent way to start this afternoon—not for a warthog family, but that is working out well for this guy so far!

Now the warthog walked around he—Jen had she said, "no fracking with the—" deed! Now this warthog walked around this bush, and he walked straight past the leopard! The leopard didn’t do anything! That’s what amazes me! He walked around that bush on the right, so he came from the front of this mound, he walked around the bush in there—he walked straight past the male leopard!

Turned his shoulder and everything, and the male leopard still didn’t do anything! Which just goes to show that the presence of tusks, the presence of some sort of device on an animal is even a good enough deterrent! And, also, obviously, size could have to turn to protect something from a predator—give it that moment of hesitation, and even though the warthog had its back to him, perfectly keyed up to be taken!

He’s coming back; this is proper Pumbaa! This one—oh watch out, everybody! Okay, well, that warthog nearly got another goat! But I think he knows the leopard's staying around to look after his family, and he is trying to give him a hard time!

Okay, well, you’re not gonna go anyway, everybody—we're gonna stay right here with the action! Then send you down to Juma, and so they forget with the Sydney who’s got himself a tortoise! A beautiful shot, and thank you for that, Yandere! Look at that! We have got the giraffe at the moment here, and this giraffe is trying to be selective!

As I could see that some of the trees already—they are starting to dry the leaves, and he is now concentrating on what's called a buffalo thorn. A buffalo thorn is one of the thorn trees! But this giraffe is not worried about the amount of thorns or caring by that tree. You can see he is just busy taking off all the leaves!

And you can even see some of the thorns they’re showing from a distance! So the tongue of the giraffe is very sticky, and it’s got a lot of saliva, which helps them in order to prevent this kind of thorns as the thorns can also be dangerous to their tongues! So if this giraffe shows us his tongue, you will see the tongue is much more dark so that they can also avoid the sunlight as they are feeding to prevent sunburn!

The color of the tongue is much darker! So the tree this giraffe is feeding on, the buffalo thorn—is one of those trees which are also very much medicinal! Used here at the moment we have got only one, which is the one we are seeing! We don't have the two species of giraffe—this is the only type of giraffe we are having at the moment!

So if you can check, this giraffe is looking very much dark! And one of the differences between the male and female giraffes is the calamus—the giraffes. The males—they've got dark spots; the females—they've got large spots! But both men and females, as they are getting old, they both dominate dark spots, which means when they are both old, you must have to find an alternative way in order to distinguish between the two!

Here comes a simple way—you must have to check on top of their oxic cones. The males—they are bald; the females—they've got hairs! You can see there—on top of their horns, which are called the oxic cones! You can see there are no hairs there! If it's a female, you will see some hairs there! And the females—they've got very thin oxic cones; the males have got very thick oxic cones!

If you can check between the ears, there is something more like another pair of oxic cones coming out. That is what is called calcium pockets! It's where this giraffe is storing the calcium in order to survive! So now let’s cross over back to the Maasai Mara, where Steve is waiting!

Everybody, this is incredible stuff! That male warthog has come all the way around again! The Shepherd's tree male—you just missed him! He’s gone into the hole, which is there in the bottom of the screen! The mound ramps up, and the hole is on the other side of the mound!

So there is the ramp, and just on the other side of the ramp, you might have just seen his tail as he disappeared! Now, it's not uncommon—we’ve seen it in Ghana—going to termite mounds, I’ve seen countless times them taking warthogs on the periphery of the den of the hole, but going in like this just goes to show—and if he comes out, he’s probably gonna come out either face-first or backwards with a piglet in his mouth!

Now to be able to go in there and turn around just goes to show how big the extremities are inside! They’re huge, cavernous extremities that allow more than one warthog to survive! Just can you just keep quiet for a moment and see if the warthog is actually busy sniffing the ground where the leopard was? Is he gonna be lucky?

I forget, everyone! We are live! Love to hear from you—Cynthia, questions and comments—hashtag Safari Live! As he is one—task is a little bit worn down; it's very tentative! I know that if this is something, everybody is watching very closely now. How long can that male leopard stay underground for? I wonder if the warthog can hear some movement!

I mean, what do you do if you’re a warthog in this situation? Do you go in? I don't even know how to go in face-first! Hmm, I have no idea how deep it is! But let's see what happens—if he comes around face-first, then he's been able to physically turn his body inside!

If there are more warthogs inside, then who knows? I mean, they often say with the large termite mounds or the big fungus grain so that they're fanned out in South Africa—there's one field above the ground and two-thirds below! But they're not that large up here above ground. But I have no doubt that they're enormous underground!

How big exactly is very hard to say—very, very hard to say! This is very cool stuff, James! Now sitting here on the edge of that seat, I'm almost shaking in a way. Here he comes, here comes! Here comes empty-handed!

Look of disappointment or Aarthi—what an amazing two shots, Jam! Say, well, he went underground for some shopping, but he came out with nothing! A Shana, this is indeed very interesting. I mean, leopards are also known to dig and to actually go into the mound itself to dig out a warthog!

It is a dangerous affair, but it seems like he’s gone in, and he’s investigated. Either there are no more warthogs in there or he doesn’t know how to dig! Haley, I was listening very closely to see if I could hear any squeals, but nothing really made any impression on me!

I mean, that male warthog came around as if he heard something, but then it was just at the bottom of the ship! As female coming back to you—oh boy, it's much cooler now than it was when we started following! You are you a little bit annoyed?

Now he’s licking his lips! Okay! Why does he spot it in the distance now? So everybody, it just goes to show the big male leopard store has met his match when it comes to a big warthog! All talk is still very, very closely watching and well today is the day of the prey animal!

Okay, everybody, well, we've been following him, and we’ll continue to follow him for the rest of the afternoon. And while we do that, let's go down to Jim up then, where James is getting ready to get to the drone in the sky!

Hello, everybody, and welcome to this end of the sunset safari! My name is James Henry, and on camera, we have got Sebastian on Beanie! There he is, fantastic! We also have Beatrice, giving her a new name! Don't know why you've been utterly useless over the last few days! Haven't found anything with her at all, and today is no exception!

We are, of course, desperately trying to find cats on account of the fact that we have a TV show to prepare for, and we don't want to do just driving around in the pitch-black darkness the duration of our TV show! So we are attempting valiantly—well, I think it's fairly valiant—to find some leopards! I haven't found a track. We've heard a few birds alarming; we've checked—there—they seem to be fighting with each other!

And so I think the leopards are having a really pleasant Sunday afternoon! Jamie's gone to find out what's going on at Chitra, and I haven't heard anything on the radio, which is slightly worrying! And as soon as you've seen is also nothing about trying to find some form of predator that we can put on camera for our TV shows!

So the moment the pressure is really on! Darling! Arty stuff in the Mara! We've got one leopard in some very thick grass! David back in the Sausage Republic, but no sausages at the moment! So while one doesn't want to paint a bleak picture of the Sunday afternoon and its inevitable passing into Sunday evening in the SABC TV show, we are under the cosh, as it were!

So if you could keep your eyes on the damn cam, make sure we don't miss anything there! Send us your ideas for where you think the animals are, and we'll do our best to find them! Wonderful! I believe that Sydney's having a break in cats—I don't know how wonderful it is, but from your point of view, it will be wonderful!

I am still here with the giraffe, who is still busy dominating the buffalo thorn! You can see this giraffe is stationary feeding at the moment! And apologies for the breaking of some of the pictures or any related technical problems! You can see this giraffe—how is feeding! Males normally feed from the top!

And if you can check, the females, they've got a little bit of a slight different feeding behavior! They profess to bend their necks! And if you can check on the neck of this giraffe, there is an open space there where is hairless! That is the skin we are seeing there! Giraffes, how they fight is interesting; they strangle their necks.

And that is where normally the oxic cone of the opponent eats when they strangle. So that is why they don't have hairs there! So I am sure that was as a result of a fight! But looking at this giraffe, I can see he is very much old! So he might have been engaged in quite a lot of fighting!

If you look behind the neck, there is a line of hairs going down! A very beautiful hairs—that line of hairs can be a very good indicator of the level of calcium in the body! This line of tears, you can use it as a gauge! When the giraffe is leaking calcium, this line of hairs flattens!

When this line of hairs is flat, it means you must then go around the veldt and look for the bones of the other old dead animals and chew them in order to regain some calcium! That is a certain kind of behavior which is called an osteophagic behavior! Osteo has got something to do with feeding on bones!

Yeah, this giraffe looks very much old! But something we have to check is that these animals, if we can check, their life expectancy—not all these animals reach their life expectancy due to some predation purposes, and some of them they exceed life expectancies due to quite a lot of environmental factors!

When the food is abandoned and enough for these animals to feed—sometimes good nutrition gives them an opportunity to survive much longer, but if there are quite a lot of challenges as a result of drought, we lose these animals before they even reach the lifespan!

So the giraffes can be able to survive for over 20 years; some of them can get up to 27 years when the conditions are very good! You can see that this giraffe doesn't want to spend much time facing down while we are waiting! Who's gonna come and join the giraffe by these trees?

Let's cross over to David by the Maasai Mara! Interesting to have a giraffe, but I can tell you I have seen a few giraffes, I have seen a few elephants and a couple of zebras as well! But I have not stopped for either of us because I have a mission, I have a plan!

And as I said earlier, my plan is to look for the sausages! Yesterday, I was very close to getting them to an area where a friend of mine had told me I'd seen them before! I got there, and a huge storm came! But you know, meters even power down, both the flaps down!

But today I have not seen any sign of rain! Otherwise, even smelling any clouds that could give us rays today, so I'll have no excuse not getting the sausages this Sunday afternoon! One thing I've said: We cannot hide here or cannot hide the elephants! You know, regardless of how long the grass is, as Steve was saying with the giraffe, the cheetah females and elephants will not be able to hide!

Many will wish me all the sausages because we need to see those cups! And I said a few weeks ago, if they hunt every 10 days, every 9—the tenth day, the lions hunt! Don't be surprised—they are now! They have hunted the last I saw them 42 hours ago! They’re going up on a hill, and I'm not sure where they were going because when they lost, chuckling, my vehicle was taking like this—45 degrees—climbing a hill, and since then, they have gone missing!

Do not take very long—update tickets, cause it also won't come down to an open area! So we have very good chances of supporting them! So let’s go back first to Steve while he separates a tree male!

Thanks, Gigi! And while the ship's tree male has just claimed the ship's tree right there! And we are continuing to follow him, and he's still walking with the wind in his face! I know many people have told me that leopards and lions don't hunt at the wind; well, we have been with him for almost three and three hours now!

And while he most certainly is using the wind, whenever he possibly can—little bit of elevated ground like what he's got now! He is magnificent! He's right here next to the cart, probably two and a half, three yards from us! He is on our level!

Look at us! Show everybody what a beautiful face you have! He is a beautiful male leopard, isn't he? He’s drooling a little bit! He thought he had something back there! He’s putting in a lot of effort this afternoon!

We've walked with him for probably about four kilometers, maybe more! And it's hard to say, really! Ah! In this open vista, gorgeous, if he's right here, he's right? Yeah! Anything I’m glad about—he's not using our vehicle for an elevator to purge! He’s had every single sort of prominent termite mound that is around!

He most certainly is—you can see the intention in his gaze! Every time he sort of uses his mouth like that, he's thinking! And then whenever he sort of stops and his mouth closes like that, and then it stops again, there is a moment of concentration. You see it with lions as well! You can almost tell when they've spotted something! The mouth closes—in that’s for some reason!

I don't know what it is—exit to the stage right? Well, there isn’t here! Magnificent fellow! He’s super relaxed! He’s like a Juma leopard!

Now I’ve seen two leopards here before! Most likely the same female as last year! Sort of they around what we call hammock or nest on our way back to camp! That one was with Jamie! We actually stopped to have a look at some hammock ops building a nest!

And so we turned the vehicle around to have a look at the nest, and then the hammer cops are going crazy by the road, and out of the grass jumps this female leopard! She was not very relaxed! We had a moment with her—some of you might remember! That was last year around the binge series, so probably about February or so last year, and then during that time, Manizales, on my way back from an evening game drive, and I spotted another leopard in exactly the same sort of area!

So I assumed at the time it was the same female! It was definitely a girl! And she was trotting along away from me! So not like the Juma leopards or like this guy, who are completely habituated to cars!

And so surprising—I mean, you have a look at this vista that we are moving through here! How are you supposed to find a leopard in this longer grass? If James shows you as he walks past us—if you're driving along, how are you gonna see that? That's just not possible!

We need James Henry up here with Sebastian to fly the drone to make this a little bit! He spotted this buffalo again! James, you see how his mouth’s gone closed?

Everybody, because he's now deciding: is it worth the risk? Is it worth the risk? Before we send you down to South Africa, let's just have a look at this male buffalo that he's looking directly at! The buffalo is going, “Male leopard, I will sort you out! You’re afraid of a warthog? You should be afraid of me!”

But anyway, we're going to stay with this male—let's quickly send you all the way back down to say good afternoon to Jamie! Well, I mean, if this falls somewhat flat now that it’s gone, it basically just looks like I really am taking a break and just kicking back, relaxing, feet up!

It was exactly what I think Craig and I should do because today is not all day! We had the cutest little pearl spotted owl sitting on the edge of a branch looking grumpy, as they always do! And then, of course, Murphy's Law! I can't—I nearly drove on! There!

Don't do that! Because if he's in this marula tree somewhere, I nearly, nearly, nearly drove onto an area—I can’t! Oh, sorry, everyone! It was beautiful in the afternoon light; it was golden—it was stunning! He was calling, but apparently decided that it wasn't gonna stick around in time for you to see it! Sorry about that!

For those of you that don't know what it is, it is a pearl spotted owl! It is a tiny, tiny little owl and probably around about the height of my hand! So it’s sort of this little thing that is called a killed course—a pearl spotted owl! Because of the markings on its feathers, obviously!

But it also has two little eyes—like, oh, I like feathers on the back of its head! So that, you know, obviously using timppa dating from the front as well as the back from the back as well as the front! They're not intimidating at all, though—perpetually grumpy looking! And now, gone!

Are you back, Craig? This is not going well! We've driven around the whole of Chitra Plains! I think—not Chitra blades—Chitwa. We've definitely haven’t driven Chitra plates; please don't put that down!

Anyway, we drove on; we drove every road, and that was it! The only place I haven't checked is the dam! And the reason I didn’t go check the dam is because I know that everybody's going to go check the dam! So it didn't make sense for me to do that! The radio is extremely quiet!

I did manage to hear the updates, and the update is that there's no updates! Oh, woe, woe is us! And now what? Now, where should we check? Somebody's checked there already! I think we're going to rattle our way back along our remain and then back towards Juma! You better absolutely no fortune, no animals!

Yeah, all in all, going fantastically well this afternoon! Let’s go and find out whether James is feeling the pressure as well! Yes, everything is going swimmingly well! We heard some Franklin's alarming; we sent the drone in after them—now that drone found some hot bushes, and that’s about all!

So we don’t think there was a leopard in there! And... it’s quarter Franklin! It's now lying down, eating it, which is possible but unlikely, so we are still looking about the place. We did see some very happy impala! They looked like they’d just consumed a full and very scrumptious Sunday lunch without any threat to their persons, so they were all fine!

That's about it, really! That's all I have to report on the search for the leopard front! Anyway, it's the pressure mounts, so we continue! Our next plan is going to be to drive towards the eastern edge, maybe up towards Bufuna! Let’s see what we can find!

We must, of course, hope that the hyena den delivers as it has done the last few episodes! Certainly, that'd be good! It was very good at the rehearsal last night—of course for the hyenas to be there and then disappear as the show begins!

Apparently, all the viewers are wondering what's happened to Tandi and what the update is on her! No idea! The other morning I had her, of course, on quarantine clearings! We followed her for a long time! Now that's away from Camp 2—through towards Buffers of Dam, which is the northeast corner of Juma, and we lost her somewhere in the block when we had to bring the drone back to change the batteries!

We were trying to keep our distance from her! So we were following her from the sky in some pretty thick bush, and unfortunately, we didn’t find her again when we then took off! And I think that that's because she went to ground! I think she went to sleep under bushes or something like that as it got hot, and we just simply couldn't see her!

I don't know if she's come out of that block! I haven't seen tracks; nobody else has reported tracks coming out of that block! We could have missed them! Maybe there's a den there; I don’t know! We have flown at four times, though, since then, or three times since then, and not come up with anything just yet!

You know this is the wilderness; the wilderness gives what the world wants to give! And most depressingly, of course, is the fact that David to get them to go to his down in the Maasai Mara, also searching!

No pressure! Well, GEMS, don't worry! You might be locked pretty soon! Neither are we lucky where we are, but when I found out, a little bit of a difference between the drives in Deva and Juma, because attempts in German gets the guides there sharing information!

When they spot something in tomorrow for us, it's a bit difficult because our radios—we don’t share our frequency with anybody else! It becomes a good challenge unless basically you meet someone!

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold on there! Did you see that? Sorry to rush you there, but that looks like a little dog looking attentively! Could you joke? Oh, don't go away! Stay there!

Dr. Park Jocko! Oh, Silver Box! Jocko if you like—it’s pretty good! I haven't seen a thing dog leash or cottage the whole afternoon! But this—we're very proud of a sativa! We're still holding herself a tree!

Not sure why he/she is running alone! I’d have guessed she could be having a button or some—well, we know them to be monogamous! Going to 'Z was looking for some chicks or eggs in the grass there—that’s what she could be looking for!

But definitely the other male is not very far from there! So see how lucky is disappearing into the grass there! And you would imagine how it would be for the lions or the leopard!

Steve or cheetahs—it could be very tricky! Well, mother, why didn't she keep moving on and make use of the best of the lights we have now? I have come out of the area I was looking for the sausages!

What I’m doing now, I'm heading to the area that was bad recently by the camp rangers, because it is quite short! Definitely, even from a kilometer away, I should be able to see a cut!

Now this is particularly—I am going there because, as I say, the grass is short! But this has a lot of game! Once the grass is burnt, its intense! Our cylinder has come fresh grass shoots up, and it tends to attract a lot of game!

And you know zebras, trapeze, buffalos—in that particular area! And I'm thinking maybe the cheetahs might go to that particular area!

So what I'm trying to chance is find out if the associates might try and go and push the—oh, he knows for one purpose of food! No! Because I'm going to the short grass!

Let’s go to the long grass with Stephen's leopard! Yes, we are following him! It is not easy work, but it's a lot easier than following leopards in Juma, and tell you that!

We're just hoping that there’s no big hole in the ground, because this area does have the potential to get very water locked! But we haven't had rain for a few days! At least another little bump in the ground he’s going to use it!

So he's come all the way from the escarpment, all the way far to the back and left—that’s how far we've been following him! We've been working very hard to stay abreast with him! You come out of the earlier; it’s been time out!

There’s a black belly busted that is being very brave—just flew directly over his head! He did, that’s what to skate on!

But something was very exciting just before! As we were following him, a grouse owl took off out of the grass and then landed off to the side! He didn’t see it—James didn’t even see it! But a very, very nice bird there!

I think it's a grass owl that nests in the ground! They are endangered in South Africa because of the developments that happen!

Everyone, whenever there's a grassy patch or a proper natural piece of bush in the high felt that gets kind of plowed or turned into office blocks or accommodation, the grass owl is very, very endangered in South Africa!

I'll see if I can show it to you! I don't know if we get the same owl up here! It'd be very good if we can! There are lots of owls!

Excuse me while I just go through mine—there we go! African cross owl! It is the same guy! I did see him! He is one of those sort of earless, tough owls!

That there's a nice picture of him sitting on the nest, and their nest, David, to be! Very cool to see you, and I'd love to show you one!

But it landed up and landed in the grass again! There’s no way to get close enough to try and film it without really influencing its sort of lifestyle, so we're just going to leave it be!

But we see them often on the way home at night on the road! There are owls in the road, and I think it's this guy! They don’t stick around for very long! But it’s the beautiful sort of open face!

They use all of that face area for full hearing, and they regard the—the toughness owl! So they don’t show those visible ear tufts—not that the ear tufts are actual ears anyway!

Many people reckon the ear tufts are all about sexual recognition or major recognition in certain species! Very good! Well, everybody, I'm not sure if Mo was asking to link there, but we're going to stay with some leopards!

But something is happening down in Juma, which is quite exciting! Sydney has been working hard! Of course, he has! So the pressure has been alleviated a little bit!

I’m not going to say anything until I'm asked to send you to Sydney, and then I’m sure he can tell you or show you where he's been working and what successes he's had!

So this is kind of our afternoon! We're going to be following the shepherd's female through here! We're hoping he’s going to catch a warthog or something and put it up a beautiful tree like this one over here!

But until he does that, let’s send you down to Rumor itself with certainly Formal Adam, to see for the good news! You can see that we are very lucky! We've got Kalamba, who has just been drinking here by the Tree House Dam!

After we were called by the kudus and the impalas and the squealers about the presence of Kalamba! Look at her! Kalamba is looking gorgeous! And I can see that she is indeed growing very quickly!

Look at that very long tail—and there she’s going now towards that direction! I'm just gonna wait and see what her intentions are! This is lovely! If it was not because of the alarm calls, I was not going to see her!

She's looking hungry! Maybe she will be doing some hunting! So Kalamba is one of those cats who has been doing hunting from a young age! Normally the case—they learn how to hunt when above 18 to 22 months! But she started doing hunting while she was still very young!

So you can see Tandi has been a very good teacher! Tandi is their mother! Kalamba is just about 16 to 17 months old now! Thank you very, very much for all the positive comments about the finding of Kalamba!

So I can see that she's concentrating, and here we went past Illya; there was a hyena drinking! And she likes to come to me because of the vest! I don't want to lose Kalamba; this is an ornament!

So I'm going to carry on now! I followed in Kalamba! I can see she's moving towards this direction, and I don't want to lose her! She is going nice and slow! She didn’t drink too much!

Maybe she doesn't want to get a lot of weight! She wants to do some hunt maybe! Who knows? We might witness something interesting here! I can see she is now going through the thick bushes!

So I'm gonna have to slowly keep following her! She’s right here in front of us! It's just that now when the bush is now starting to get dry, she's getting camouflaged!

But now while we are repositioning, we are going to cross over to Jamie! Bravo, Sydney—Bravo relief! Relief, there's slightly less panic, this is good news!

Of course, the problem is, is that she's as difficult as a mother to keep up with! In fact, possibly even more so, at times! So good luck to Sydney; we'll keep our fingers crossed and hold our thumbs and all those bizarre things that human beings do for luck!

In the meantime, I found a dove! I'm ready to show you that! Up, because that's gonna just fly away! There it is! Look, see—there goes! Found it! Dove! I'm doing a boundary patrol around Juma in this vague hope that I’m going to see something coming onto Juma!

Having failed at Udrih, I’m going to draw all the way around and then back towards the hyena den as we sort of reach the end of the evening! That’s my plan for now! I’m somewhere on the eastern edge of Juma! I don’t actually know exactly where I am!

All I can see, though, is the lion tracks from where they cut through and wound up on Torchwood! The good news is, is that now that it’s winter, means that our signal vastly improves on Torchwood!

When we can go there, so we'll be able to spend a bit more time there now once the foliage dies back! And it’s beautiful! Everything's gold and colored! It's the mythical land of Torchwood!

Everything's golden-colored and absolutely stunning! So it's lovely to be out and about! And we’ll see what else we can find! I've got a suspicion that Tingana is somewhere on Juma on a very big kill with a very round belly!

Alright, we've got how many of us are there, out of Steve, David, James, myself, Sydney! Alright, so two out of two out of three doing pretty well! And let's go across to David and find out if he's going to be the third!

Well, we have just supported something here! We don't know what's running the grass there—I can't see it very well! Well, there's a jackal—is with a white tail! It just disappeared in the grass! And it was chasing on a ruby!

It's quite a distance! See, we're gonna stop! I’m not sure what that—he looks like a caracal at one point just disappearing in the grass there! It's just—before we can be able to see it! It looks like a car approached me!

I don’t know everything! It was! I know that every search! Yeah, I'd be very happily listen, gentlemen! You give an idea what would be served run in the grass!

Hushed up Safari live on Twitter! I’ll be very happy! Just came running! An antelope came out of the grass! Also went running, and everything just disappeared! Now she has gone in this direction!

Also, they can catch up with her and find out exactly what that was! It’s very possible—sets traps, chuckles! Very possible it could be some sort of jackal!

We really see them! We got them in the Mara! Alia, humans are gone! Here you also—we had the black box with a silver box Jocko! So Ashley, very good, Ashley! Let’s keep those two!

If maybe we return from here, this was either a white-tailed jackal or a caracal! Let's see if we're gonna see her from here! Because that was very strange!

Just either a caracal, white-tailed jackal or a side-striped jackal! Oh, sorry! Side says, "Stripped jackal and not white-tailed jackal or side-striped freak!" Oh, sorry! Stripped jackal!

The one should be watched till the moon goes! So it was either side-striped jackal or a caracal, and let's see if we can catch up with her! She went in this direction to be very exciting if we see her! Because it is donkey's years since I have seen a side-striped jackal!

Well, we’ve got to see the black box! A silver box is Jocko of ours, so let me try and do that way! In the meantime, we'll take you back to Sydney with Salamba.

This is Martin—just hold for a second! So you can see her! She’s keeping running! Stops! Looks! Are you hunting there? Don't you catch so many insects?

Oh, there's a tree on the way! There she disappeared in the grass! So what you'll do, go to try and catch up with her again! In the meantime, we’ll take you back to Kalamba with Sydney!

Kalamba is showing some interest! Maybe she is hungry! A little bit! We saw she was now trying to stalk something! Unfortunately, we couldn't manage to see what exactly she was up to, but she's right here in front of me, and she is going very much slow!

At the moment, I am not seeing any mood! At the moment, she is pretty relaxed! So the thing is that the leopards can just be opportunistic! When they are walking and more biting like this—if anything presents itself, they take action!

So from here where I am, I can see maybe we're gonna see her nicely! She is right in the middle of those glasses! You can see the white tip of the tail and the shape right in those grasses!

She's not just moving; she's listening! But considering the size of the Tommy, I can tell that she's not that heavy! Size showing she must be hungry! So we're just going to...so what we are following Kalamba and see what she's up to!

Let's cross over back to the Masai Mara, where Steve is waiting! Well, everybody, how picturesque is that? I'm just gonna keep quiet for a moment and let you let it all just sink!

Kidness James Pan's out, laughs and just shows you the wonderful backdrop that we have here in the Mara! James is waving his hands in a conductor-like manner! There’s gorgeous!

Everybody, there are lots of little noises in the background! Just after you left us, before we nearly barreled into a big mud wallow! Had to skirt quite a big band of them!

Unfortunately, it doesn't matter how powerful your vehicle! If you fall into one of those holes, that is the end of you! Have to round cuckoo what Brad Google! It's just on top of the Torchwood tree!

Wonder if you can get him, James, might have the roof—and there we go! There he is! They call the rained bird in South Africa! Dnevnik called rain birds up here!

Yeah, and you get the virtual Schuylkill! Very good one! It seems like the lipids are all posing for us! This afternoon, let’s go down and see what a gorgeous picture Kalamba makes!

What a beautiful sight! You can see Kalamba is indeed interested in something! She was, I think! They surprised by the Kudu calf who just flew away, and I’m very sure that Kudu was very much bigger than Kalamba!

I don’t think Kalamba was gonna survive! The Kudu just went past! That is what he was trying! And I’m very sure that Kudu was very much bigger than Kalamba!

So that was going to be very much dangerous for Kalamba! So that Kudu was just going past the front side of Salamba! So right there where she's looking at the moment is where the white oak went to us!

So the flies must be irritating her—I can see now I'm going to carry on following! And see if we can improve this sighting! I am NOT going to leave Kalamba!

This is an amazing sighting! I haven't seen Kalamba for quite a long time! Ian, something you must know is that the leopards are solitary! And they don't hunt as a group!

So a warthog is way much bigger than Kalamba! Kalamba is still very much young! That warthog just went past there! I could see the tusks and the size of the hairs and the size of the body!

That was going to be too dangerous to tackle! So that was going to be very dangerous for Kalamba! So it's Kalamba at the moment moving down towards this side! It is not an easy area to drive! I'm going to take it slow and keep following!

Well good luck, the sitters! I do hope he managed to keep up with her! She is tricky sometimes! She takes after her mother! But it is the predators, off to new now!

It seems as a black-shouldered kite has just flown into our scene and can't really see it from that picture! But they've got very red eyes and yellow feet with yellow SIA!

And probably one of the most common of the birds of prey on the African continent—the black-shouldered kite! Very easily recognized! Sometimes out in the open fields by the way that they seem to hover above the ground with a white underbelly and just little black tips on the end of the wing!

Very, very commonly found across the African continent! And they search for rodents the way that they hover above the ground! Some people believe that they can actually see a sort of heat signature left by urine trails on the ground if by rodents that are running around these fields and in these thickets leaving urine trails!

And then a kite will sort of hover above the freshest sort of markings and then dive-bomb down! To latch whatever rodent it might be! But now it's actually quite interested in our leopard moving down and looking, and what are you doing over here, sir!

All of you, I agree with you! They’re a very pretty bird! Often I haven't really seen many in Juma! And we don't have the opener spaces required for them! They like open areas where there's lots of grass and open grasslands!

Because obviously, that's where the rodents occur, and they can see them! So they don't occur in the woodland, but it's very hard to see urine trails upon the ground when there's trees all over the place, don't you think?

Indeed! Well, what a beautiful view he’s actually starting to clean himself now! He's finally realized that it's time to wake up! He just had a look at a Franklin that just flew overhead!

He’s even thinking: would that be a nice meal to have? Gorgeous scenes as the sun sets in the background! Gorgeous scenes indeed! Temperatures dropped quite a bit now, so you'd think this would be the moment that he would be moving around!

He's been moving in the heat of the day—try Rose, one of her flippers eats birds! They most certainly do! So why we find so many leopards in Juma—because of guinea fowl and Franklin alarm calling!

And they will very readily catch birds! We just don’t find them! You know, you find a kill a day care, and then pilots being there for a day or two in the scrub here, and he lasts about 10 minutes or so—game bird, maybe the same!

Or maybe even less, so how many do they go through in a day! It's very hard to say if they can catch them! We do know down in Juma—how many times have I found a leopard because of a bird alarm calling? Many, many, many times!

They get very upset when they see a leopard! And generally, when they see a leopard, they shout—oh! Even their shot at the leopard that Jamie had left learned for the most part!

They are Gigi's down on the south searching for the sausage tree pride! I wonder if maybe there'll be some alarm calls given! Maybe there'll be some buffaloes running around! Who knows, and what will happen with the sausages?

Well, looks very true, our Sivan-Paul! With the help, I can tell you, I would have found my sausages by now! But it's very quiet where we are— not as many votes that could make harem cause!

Of course, I’ve been seeing a few! Or to call the white-bellied go away! But which are quite important when it comes to making island homes! I’ve been seeing us a bit of Feud rumbles! But all of them are just fitting and doing their thing!

Drongos feeding on insects! The white weight go about feeding on the fruit from the trees! Any alum call anything that I think could help me of where I am currently would be the guinea hens or the guinea fowls!

If our guinea fowls in such an area because it would be out eating grass—I can now, I could trust them! If we could mix up our cover as yet haven’t seen any guinea fowl!

Hopefully, see some! I’m still very hopeful that you’ll see the sausages! But again, as I said, what I’ve done or what I did is leave the actual territory for the sausages and got the boundary between them and another pride that we call the winners because that belongs—the owners of the winner territory!

Their grass is bad, and it has a lot of what we call plains game! Plains game, I'm talking about Choppy's, Impalas, Harvest—or what you call from Gurney!

And maybe even some zebras, and the spinners is why either all those two prides could be here! You know the five in number and the sausages are always about how many? The sausages are always fifteen!

Let’s count—the five females and the ten cups make 15! And they work all the tumors about 2017, so they have the capacity to push the winners little out of their area!

You must have seen some guinea hens, so Guinea—about some guinea fowl! Thank You, Maru! See the bars! I was talking about! You remember? You speak of the devil! I spoke over some guinea fowls! If this bars good—Chile, Chile!

That kind of a lab car will be a good sign! Not the Franklin’s that we hear in the background! So let me keep pushing on before I lose some beautiful daylight and chance on there!

Now, or we nose, and the meantime, I'll take you back to Sydney with Salamba! This is Martin—just hold for a second! So you can see her! She's keeping running! Stops! Luke’s! Are you hunting, there?

Don't you catch so many insects? Oh, there's a tree on the way! There she disappeared in the grass! So what you'll do—go to try and catch up with her again! In the meantime, we'll take you back to Kalamba with Sydney!

Kalamba is showing some interest! Maybe she is hungry! A little bit! We saw she was now trying to stalk something! Unfortunately, we couldn't manage to see what exactly she was up to! But she's right here in front of me!

And she is going very much slow! At the moment, I'm not seeing any mood! At the moment, she is pretty relaxed! So the thing is that the leopards can just be opportunistic! When they are walking and more biting like this—if anything presents itself, they take action!

So from here, where I am? I can see maybe we're gonna see her nicely! She is right in the middle of those grasses! You can see the white chip of the tail and the shape right in those grasses!

She's not just moving; she's listening! But considering the size of the tommy, I can tell that she's not that heavy! Size showing she must be hungry!

So we're just going to...so what we are following Kalamba and see what she's up to! Let's cross over back to the Masai Mara, where Steve is waiting! Well, everybody, how picturesque is that?

I'm just gonna keep quiet for a moment and let you let it all just sink! Kidness James Pan's out, laughs, and just shows you the wonderful backdrop that we have here in the Mara!

James is waving his hands in a conductor-like manner! There’s gorgeous! Everybody, there are lots of little noises in the background! Just after you left us, before, we nearly barreled into a big mud wallow!

Had to skirt quite a big band of them! Unfortunately, it doesn't matter how powerful your vehicle! If you fall into one of those holes, that is the end of you! Have to round cuckoo what Brad Google!

It's just on top of the Torchwood tree! Wonder if you can get him, James, might have the roof! And there we go! There he is!

They call the rained bird in South Africa! Dnevnik called rain birds up here! Yeah, and you get the virtual Schuylkill! Very good one!

It seems like the lipids are all posing for us! This afternoon, let’s go! Down and see what a gorgeous picture Kalamba makes!

What a beautiful sight! You can see Kalamba is indeed interested in something! She was, I think! They surprised by the Kudu calf who just flew away!

And I am very sure that Kudu was very much bigger than Kalamba! I don’t think Kalamba was gonna survive! The Kudu just went past! That is what he was trying!

And I’m very sure that Kudu was very much bigger than Kalamba!

So that was going to be very much dangerous for that Kalamba! So that Kudu was just going past the front side of Salamba! So right there where she's looking at the moment is where the white oak went to us!

So the flies must be irritating her! I can see now I’m going to carry on following! And see if we can improve this sighting! I am NOT going to leave Kalamba!

This is an amazing sighting! I haven't seen Kalamba for quite a long time! Ian, something you must know is that the leopards are solitary! And they don't hunt as a group!

So a warthog is way much bigger than Kalamba! Kalamba is still very much young! That warthog just went past there! I could see the tusks and the size of the hairs and the size of the body!

That was going to be too dangerous to tackle! So that was going to be very dangerous for Kalamba! So it's Kalamba at the moment moving down towards this side!

It is not an easy area to drive! I'm going to take it slow and keep following! Well good luck, the sitters!

I do hope he managed to keep up with her! She is tricky sometimes! She takes after her mother! But it is the predators, off to new now!

It seems as a black-shouldered kite has just flown into our scene and can't really see it from that picture! But they've got very red eyes and yellow feet with a yellow SIA!

And probably one of the most common of the birds of prey on the African continent—the black-shouldered kite! Very easily recognized! Sometimes out in the open fields by the way that they seem to hover above the ground with a white underbelly and just little black tips on the end of the wing!

Very, very commonly found across the African continent! And they search for rodents the way that they hover above the ground!

Some people believe that they can actually see a sort of heat signature left by urine trails on the ground if by rodents that are running around these fields and in these thickets leaving urine trails!

And then a kite will sort of hover above the freshest sort of markings and then dive-bomb down to latch whatever rodent it might be! But now it's actually quite interested in our leopard moving down and looking, and what are you doing over here, sir!

All of you, I agree with you! They're a very pretty bird! Often I haven't really seen many in Juma!

And we don’t have the opener spaces required for them! They like open areas where there's lots of grass and open grasslands! Because obviously, that's where the rodents occur, and they can see them!

So they don't occur in the woodland, but it's very hard to see urine trails upon the ground when there's trees all over the place, don't you think?

Indeed! Well, what a beautiful view he’s actually starting to clean himself now! He's finally realized that it's time to wake up!

He just had a look at a Franklin that just flew overhead! He’s even thinking: would that be a nice meal to have? Gorgeous scenes as the sun sets in the background!

Gorgeous scenes indeed! Temperatures dropped quite a bit now, so you'd think this would be the moment that he would be moving around!

He's been moving in the heat of the day—try Rose, one of her flippers eats birds! They most certainly do! So why we find so many leopards in Juma—because of guinea fowl and Franklin alarm calling!

And they will very readily catch birds! We just don’t find them! You know, you find a kill a daycare, and then pilots being there for a day or two in the scrub here, and he lasts about 10 minutes or so—game bird, maybe the same!

Or maybe even less, so how many do they go through in a day! It's very hard to say if they can catch them! We do know down in Juma—how many times have I found a leopard because of a bird alarm calling? Many, many, many times!

They get very upset when they see a leopard! And generally, when they see a leopard, they shout—oh! Even their shot at the leopard that Jamie had left learned for the most part!

They are Gigi's down on the south searching for the sausage tree pride! I wonder if maybe there'll be some alarm calls given!

Maybe there'll be some buffaloes running around! Who knows and what will happen with the sausages?

Well, looks very true
