Safari Live - Day 174 | National Geographic

This program features live coverage of an African safari and may include animal kills and carcasses. Viewer discretion is advised. A very good afternoon everybody and everyone, and a very warm welcome also to our sunset safari drive all the way from the Kruger National Park in South Africa. And see what we are trying to show you! Are we showing you today? How exciting is that to start with a huge male kudu? My name is always David, and joined on camera by the one and only Fogg. Always, always Fogg, and I can say he's one of the best cameramen we have got here. Just see, I think he's one of the greatest! And there's a male kudu trying to carve a femur there.

And remember, we request all of you to know this is always a very interactive safari. Your questions, your comments, and your feelings make a huge difference. So keep tweeting on hashtag safari live, and you can always follow us on the YouTube chat stream. Very lucky to start with kudus on a great afternoon, with 74 degrees Fahrenheit and 23 degrees Celsius. I don't know why she was running there and I was just telling the men could where they couldn't watch the mail go with a man somewhere, Fogg.

Happy Father's Day, male kudu! Ooh, see by telling him that he's trying to mark his territory. And to all of you nice viewers, whoever you are in the world. For those who did not meet me in the morning, I'm telling you very happy Father's Day to the kudu fathers, to the fathers of the spiders, to the fathers from the crocodiles, to the fathers from the snakes, and all the fathers in the wilderness all over the world! Happy Father's Day!

Ouch! With me today, we have the gentleman who is doing work and getting all the trucks rough, and we got the beautiful girl, Taylor McCrory, out somewhere doing what I'm doing. And we're promising you another exciting sunset drive. It's a majestic kudu walking away. You can see how they keep munching in the open area, which is a quarantine area. As much as their browsers, once in a while, you'll get them coming out and eating some little ferbs or plants on the ground.

And they said earlier the beautiful girl Taylor would like to say hello to all of you. Good afternoon! Hello everybody! As David said, my name is Taylor McCrory, and on camera with me today is Greg, and we are looking for cheetah! Cats, are we going to finally always get that stuff? Every single time? I don't think I've ever avoided the stuff that scores on the road. I always drive over it.

Anyways, as I said, we are looking for cheetah today, and we're gonna find them, seeing as though they've been around for the last two drives, which has been fantastic. Well, I'll like last all today! I hope so! I really hope so. I've been wanting to see them! And then I was, of course, I suppose, the cheetah were teasing me by leading me on a wild goose chase yesterday morning, and then, well, taunting me with a view on foot, which was pretty spectacular. But I do like to watch those youngsters play around, and they're very relaxed around the cars. So let's keep our fingers crossed!

They have moved, though; they moved them. I think they, well I've had tracks going down Zoe's road that look really fresh on top of the vehicle tracks from this morning, so I assume that they've come this way. Now I'm just trying to figure out where they've gone off. So I've been the bushwalk team have also joined us, hoping to give us a hand. So I'm just going to check this intersection very quickly. Yeah, I actually want to go check this open area first. Let's quickly do that, because there's a nice open area.

You don't see any tracks coming this way. It's actually quite warm. I don't know why I have my jersey on. Now that is not a good representation of what the weather is actually like. It's going to have to come off, I'm afraid, at some point, and I'm not starting to feel like I'm developing a fever, but that's of course because I'm just warming up with this silly jersey on. Definitely quite difficult trying to track, and then also spot the animals. It's so difficult.

Once quite the nests in the morrow, you could just look around and scan a bit. Thank you, Jason! And I think that's motivating me to want to find the cheetah. You said if I find the cheetah, you will kiss me through your iPad. Thank you! That's very kind. There we go, you can have a kiss back! No, no, if people do that, but they okay! Let us try and find the cheetah cats.

Okay, now I've got distracted! Thanks, Jason! And we're gonna keep looking for the cheetah or go to Ralph's to see where he is. Good afternoon, everybody, and welcome! Welcome to the afternoon bushwalk. Well, my name is Ralph Kirsten, and we're coming to you live from the Greater Kruger National Park in South Africa. On the camera today, I've got Sinza with me, and please don't forget to send us your questions and your comments on the hashtag Safari Live on Twitter and on the YouTube live chat, because we'd love to know what you would like to find out this afternoon about, well, whatever you want out here in the bush!

Now we've decided to just go along and help Tyler to relocate those skank hanks, as we call them here locally, or the cheetah. Those three cheetahs, because they were seen this morning. But seems like they've moved along a little bit, so we're also gonna head in that direction and see if we can pick up on any of those fresh tracks and then just point them in the right direction. After that, however, we will then go and see if we can maybe catch up with Tandy and Little Lamba, or with Tingana, whatever is sort of the more productive of the two for us to be able to go and find, and that's in terms of the freshness of checks and where exactly those two different characters are, in terms of where the kind of bush that they're in.

So the one that is most realistic to be able to find will go and head there. At the moment, just walking and enjoying this lovely long yellow fetching grass. This grass is used in a lot of the hats and homebuilding here in the area. So this would obviously be harvested outside of national parks. Lots of the ladies go and collect this; they also sell it mixed to the roads, and obviously the people using that to build their huts with these round oval top concrete walls with the grass hitting up on the top. It's very fascinating.

Now let's see what do you guys want us to look at in terms of the small things as we go along on the walk. You can let us know! Please, Bronec, you say you want to see some snakes. I'll try my best to show you some checks of snakes, but at this time of year, in winter, not as much activity of snakes than you would get in summer. So obviously they are ectothermic, as you do know. Sometimes we can find them at this time of day just sunning themselves a little bit, and I'll try my best, as I say, to see if we can find some. Maybe we'll find some lizards as well—a good time of the day for them to be trying to get a bit of warmth!

And a little bit earlier we had quite a bit of a spattering of rain, so it might have cleared up some of the checks in some of the pots, and at least we'll be able to have a nice Tomlin. Now it's fun! We've got extremely fresh tracks, or not, because since this morning, obviously, we'll have just a little bit of a splashing on the roads and on the sand from the water that came through. It was just a quick cloud burst—not too much rain altogether—a small one of those winter sort of rain showers. Quick, quick, and then it was gone.

So you can see still a few rain clouds around, but I think it's pretty much burning off for the moment. So we're just gonna continue, I think, heading towards where those cheetah were last seen. And I'm pretty sure that with a bit of luck, we'll be able to find them! Fantastic! And good luck—you got a job to do there—off to get a snake for an overview! Sir, hopefully you get one!

And we moved on, we left the kudus, and now we have found a new species of antelopes! Young ones, males and females, have been trained to look specifically for the males and tell them Happy Father's Day. But they are not separating; they are all staying together, and these are the fun bits—the wildebeest having a small mini migration. I am trying to imagine if they know where their cousins will be moving in the hundreds of thousands, and maybe another one or two months in East Africa.

They used to be also migration around this area way back. Fantastic move from Fogg, that's a great light, and of course, all the credit goes to Fogg! He sets a team player, and there's a great job. We're gonna move forward a little bit. What do you think? And see because we have seen this together with kudus and see whether we can frame them together. You know, you can have one film and short for two!

And we have seen another set of kudus with your huge hands. We never miss looking on the ground because that's where the trucks will always be! There's a waterhole not very far from where we are, and we have noticed animals of different species will be brought together about certain commonalities—water, food, sometimes safety. So this particular two different species here are being brought at this particular point by water. Let's see, Fogg! You let me know where to stop exactly!

Okay, and this is... Look at that! How are you today? And you're asking, can the wild animals catch a flu or a cold? Yes, as you can see that big herd of kudus moving there, they do! They do, depending if they rain down. Definitely! Just like human beings, they're all mammals, and we are all subject to getting infections. Yes, they can, and once in a while, we also hear or see animals sneezing. You know, not once, we are watching lions or cheetahs, and you just hear a small little sneeze!

So yes, they can get cold; they can get fever; they can get infections. For about my bonnet of the car, they can get even tuberculosis! TBs! We have seen lions eating buffaloes that are infected with some TBs, and they get infected also, but somehow they come through.

As beautiful kudus are munching, and that should be like a breeding season for them. This one dominant guy there, and he's definitely up to something! Cynic, how are you? And always a pleasure to hear your name, and you're asking whether kudus are the strongest antelopes. I think, Cynic, it will depend on how you look at it! Oh, strong in terms of fighting, strong in terms of pushing trees.

But personally, I think a fully-grown kudu, Cynic, of about 500-600 pounds, or 550 pounds by any standard, they are huge! And if you see two fighting, you can tell! If they miss each other on a fight, how they break the trees! So I would say, well, you know, they're very strong because one of the differences, and especially for the males, is fighting. Both say they're strong animals, and most of the males you can see are browsing. How they feed on leaves, they have a little bit of advantage over the other antelopes.

They can raise their long necks! Not like the giraffes, but we have the advantage of reaching leaves up there, unlike impalas or Daniel's. Daniel's are also browsers, but they are not as high or as tall as the kudus. So, at least, to me, the last few weeks, I've seen kudus looking in better shape. They are looking healthy, but the kudus, to me, look better.

And one of the reasons I would say that is they can reach the top leaves, and you can see oxpeckers as usual hitchhiking on them and getting all the parasites or ticks you may be seeing on top of the screws. Fantastic! Very good! The scooters have done a very good job, and you'll have one more look on someone bits here, and then let's have you do one move for—that's good!

Alright, we'll have a look at the one bit. They're all been feeding together, but you know birds of a feather fly together! The kudus, as a species, all of them shifted to the right, and they moved, and the wildebeest have remained here showing the differences between those two species, especially when it comes to feeding habits! This one's being more of grazers, but I'm sure they could be getting something different from the grass because, as you can see, the grass there looks quite dry.

But sometimes, to get the rhizomes, the base of the grass will always be holding some nutrition and either the roots, the good masses, or on the mouth we can be able to approach here little roots or pass down there. Rhonda, you're wondering about the dryness of the grass. Now we are going through winter here now, and maybe for the next two months, one that will not get any rains, and we hope to get rain any time—maybe end of, I would say, forgot! I think end of July or August, yeah! Very good!

So far things was the end of August! September is when we expect the rains to come, and everything here will turn around and will be green. But that notwithstanding, the animals have always adapted, and you can see that it's a very good-looking verna bestia Wanda, and you know very healthy! They'll always know how to substitute from the grass not available, they'll always know what to substitute and feed on!

Pretty small, hard compared to the host to migration and how fantastic! Every species are we seeing today! Before I leave them, I leave them by saying, as Ralph's circular tree, I live them by saying Happy Father's Day! And let's find out if Ralph is telling trees happy Father's Day. Well, that's it! Happy Father's Day to everybody around, and I think it's only in South Africa that it's Father's Day, because isn't it that different countries have different days for Father's Day anyway?

It's Father's Day in South Africa now, so Happy Father's Day from me to all those fathers out there! To my father! And well, here we go! We're standing here next to a silver cluster-leaf. The leaves tell me it's Father's Day worldwide! I do know that with Mother's Day there are a couple of different days around the world—not international!

Now these little balls that we see from the silver cluster-leaf, I'm sure, lots of people do know what they are, or any regular viewers, I'm sure this has been covered a few times, but for anybody that doesn't know: first and foremost, obviously the plant being called the silver cluster-leaf, Terminalia sericea, and it's a very characteristic tree that we get! And why it's called the silver cluster-leaf is because of that sheen on the back—a hairy color, giving it a silver coloration on the back of the leaves—and "cluster-leaf" because all the leaves are sort of clustered up on the terminal bud on the end of branches.

Now that's not the reason why I stopped. Yeah, it's because these trees—the characteristic that they get stung by gall wasps, and the little wasps then actually inject a growth hormone into the branches. Now I've pulled one off, an old one, but I want to show you one just on the plant itself. There it is, there! So little! And that's quite a big one! The wasp will sting the branch and then it grows into this bulbous structure, and it lays its eggs on the inside there, and then those eggs will hatch obviously and pupate into the wasp, which later you will see these little holes that they actually make the exit.

Now I just took this one off because I just wanted to pop it open and we have a look on the inside, and there we got—it's like that little pupae bulb thing! Sorry, I'm just trying to get it out! There it is! So that's exactly the top of the little pupae balls and gall structures that are created by these little gall wasps.

And then from there on, they would obviously be coming out. So, very characteristic of the silver cluster-leaf, and we see that quite a lot in some of the acacias. We can actually get one that's sting—the thorns! But that is more down to little ants; they will sting the thorns and in those acacias, well now some of them being Virtuella, and those thorns will actually swell up like the branch has done here on the silver cluster leaf, and in the ends actually having their little nests on the inside there.

So obviously, this time of year, we try to look for all these kind of little things, but very much dormant, part of the arthropods, and very quiet actually indeed, because you know, in summer, you can walk, and every single piece of bark or stone that you pick up, there's something there! There is something alive, and it's really noticeable at this time of year how quiet it gets on that front, and you can also feel the pure dryness of the vegetation as you walk through it now at the moment as well.

Now, at the moment, Gary, for me, the ticks aren't a problem at all in the wintertime. I've had little to no bites at this particular time, but some of the guards have said there is the odd one. So I would say that there's a definite reduction in the amount of ticks that we do have at this time, but they're not completely gone! But they are very little around, I must say!

So, they're also probably pretty dormant in the egg phase now, little eggs in the surface of the soil waiting for that first little bit of rain, like a lot of the other arthropods and arachnids, and waiting for just that summer or spring months to come about once more than that when none, obviously, the grounding just comes to life all over again, and it becomes fascinating with the amount of life that you actually find all around!

So, looking for those little animals here and there, but with the ultimate goal of heading towards where the cheetah were and finding those tracks. And I wonder how it's going with Taylor and those cheetah. Not so great! We're trying to find them! I don't know where they've gotten! So I think I'm pretty sure I had cheetah tracks on Triple Aim, which is one of the boundary roads.

Some of them look really old, though, but I'm confused because the cheetah haven't sort of been around for quite some time, and come back this way, and then there were some that looked really fresh, so I'm in two minds! I'm just sort of checking some open areas! We just checked Sandy Patch, and I couldn't see anything! I haven't seen any more tracks. I'm just having a look.

I mean, I could have been wrong! There were also female leopard tracks that looked like they were there from this morning a bit further down on the road, crossing into using my B-D. So, I don't know who may have been walking around there, which female, and I did see someone had marked them. Definitely the fact from this morning!

So what I think I might do is now we just—sort of, I suppose—doing little perimeter patrol, hoping to pick up on some decent tracks of the cheetah. I think we are going to go to Sydney's Dam, which is that way, and then once we get to Sydney's Dam, I'm just checking, we will just scan that area have a little look. There's water there, it's nice and open. There's often impala; this could be food around. Those cheetahs have to eat!

I don't know! Well, they could have gone back west because there are lots of open areas, and they have been enjoying their time, so I'm not really sure. Ah! And well speaking of Impala being tasty treats, it seems as though Dave just got some! Well, good luck Taylor, and hopefully you'll find those cheetahs!

The incident does very well last night with fog, and also this morning after all the bishops. But tell ya, they may have something here they may want to eat! And look at those beautiful impalas chewing cut! Being ruminants because of the heat of the day, the estate will slow down, and this is one of the advantages of ruminants.

From Oh, what the Italia! They can slow down, regurgitate it, and then keep reaching it—then solid. This particular we see here must be very busy doing that, and again depends on how much they had eaten. The one behind it doesn't look very, you know, hungry, or like it had enough to eat! It has regurgitated enough and just pushed out!

That just swallowed! Poof! How nice is that?! It was chewy! REACH you and then swallow temperatures are pretty high. I would say you can see from the amount of light, it is a bit warm! So just slow down and start getting a little bit busier at dusk! Over an hour, to six o'clock, so all of them will tend to slow down, enjoy some nice shade, and just regurgitate!

Some of them laying down there, and it has been claimed some of the ruminants could just be laying down there, and they could have sleep! Half of the brain could be sleeping, and the other half not! Another plus for being a ruminant! I like being a non-ruminant, so you're able to rest, have enough, as you know, reach your food, then rest!

Here, the side of the brain Mitch! Very good comment, you see! They are so focused, and chewing! And yes, when you look at them, it's just like, how? I don't know if you've seen kids, especially in the village. They come from anytime Lord visits, the first thing the kids would tell me…I would tell them, you know, I have so many goodies for you! And I'll tell them, you know what? I brought you fruit, I brought you bread, I brought to you some cupcakes, I brought you some gum!

They'll tell me, stop there! Gum! Gum! Chewing gum! Chewing gum! And you see those kids' zero or frogs just laughing! Hear those kids chewing! Chewing gum! You know, it's just like this imbalance! My name is reminds me of the kids in my village! And yes, yes!

So focused! Algorithm on, you know, just reviewing! Because the bit softer, then when they first solid it! So it goes through all the four chambers in their stomachs! So, when it comes back, it has gone through a bit of bacteria and they've softened it a bit! And I think it usually is a little different and maybe tastier! So they tend to think they're eating different food!

Maybe it's like how we eat our main course, and then we have a dessert! And the dessert always tends to be the best parts of a meal! What do you think? Yeah, Foxy is…yes, yeah! They shouldn't be allowed to eat until the veggies are finished! And I hope these impalas have just done that!

They are finished their veggies! And that's how it is now! They are enjoying that part! And you might notice they might continue, you know, regurgitating and reaching the food a lot longer than the time they'll spend eating! Just because I said, it's just a little better! You might hear the plane from the group, from the air flying! Haha!

Gary, how are you? And that's a good question! And you asked him: do they always chew in one direction? And I think you're giving me some homework towards this particular one! Because it's like going in one direction and I'm thinking, how do I kill my food myself? And even know how I chew?

I should know how the impalas chew! What fab you need to do is you show us a different impala chewing! You've got some work to do and we find out, is it chewing this way? Can you say this is tuned anti-clockwise? Let's see if we get another one here! It's searching and clockwise, right! It's like moving the lower mandible to the left too!

My thinking does anti-clockwise maybe two more! And then if that should be the case, Gary, we can say they move the lower model! Yes, like anti-clockwise! It seems so! And I'm not sure to say either they're left-handed or right-handed! And that's how they move, you know, their mouth!

And especially in the lower parts, because he's only the lawn that is moving and the top one where the nose is not moving at all, but that's one of the most interesting questions I've ever had! And I've never looked carefully and thought, when they chew, how do they move their mouth?!

And we think, I think I'll be looking at myself, you know, in a mirror tonight when I'll be having dinner! Maybe me and fun and you'll find out how it's your food! Maybe it's a prickly fog! And then we compare notes!

I don't know how human beings how we also eat! But if you look at this, the chewing in the same direction! So it's either left to right or right to left! And they are facing the other way! It's difficult to know! But most importantly, it's the lower part that moves and not the upper mandible!

Something called the attention there, and as much as they slow down when needed, a ruminant, they never want to take any chances! Because they know the predators can take that advantage and sneak on them very quickly!

It will sprout! Good question! Do antelopes have more than one set of teeth? No, they only have one set, and that's it! And the only animals I think that might have more than one set of teeth are the Ellie's—the elephants! I think, I guess they got six sets of teeth!

But all antelope, I know of, once they lose the teeth! And just like we human beings, once we lose our permanent teeth, unless we go and do some dentures or do some dental work, that's it! You lose all your TV! I've seen a few animals, especially buffaloes, when they age up and not, you're missing so many teeth!

So antelopes, I think, will always have one set of teeth, and that's it! Other animals, I must be thinking of? All the crocodiles? The crocodiles have been known! Once they have their teeth, once they turn? We are able to replace the teeth and have a new set!

I do not know how many sets they end up having, but crops will have if one particular tooth is broken or is worn out! It is replaced by another one popping up from top bottom! But Ellie's, we know, before they die, they'll have about six sets of teeth in their life!

And the teeth tend to grow backwards forth and for the antelopes is upwards downwards and downwards up weren't just like us human beings! Remember! 12 units! Viewers asking questions is always very hard for us because what we do here is very interactive, interactive game drive! And you know with your questions and comments and your feelings, you make us feel alive!

Because we only see you through the lens! And Ralph is still tracking, while we are tracking, and we're also just looking at any of the little scorpions that are active at the moment! And I just want to do a little check just to see if this antlion larva over here! And since I'm saying wait for him, I'm just want to see with these little conical put traps!

Obviously, the little antlion larva is waiting at the bottom for little ants just to walk along the edge! Like, I'm just pretending here! And I'm not going to destroy his little conical, but I just want to see if he's actually at home! And if he is, he'd be throwing the sand up just to try and knock. There!

He is! You see that? He's knocking the sand up in an attempt to knock the little ant down that I'm just pretending to be! He’s at the bottom there! And sometimes if I'm talking like this, he might actually realize that I'm here, and then he might quiet down!

But let's just see! I can see these little pincers in the bottom of the pit there! They back up again! You see that? There we go! That's very cool! Okay! I went to stab him too much, but you know, I've said this many times, but once again, for any new viewers, that's a little larva of a life swing or the adult and climb!

And what he's doing there is he's sitting there at the bottom waiting for unsuspecting ants, little insects to come walking along. Then they throw that sand up like that, and once that knocks him down to the bottom—that with those two punches that he's using to throw the sand—he'll grab onto that little insect and pull it down!

And those pincers are actually hollow, and they've got little needles on the end! So, they pierce whatever it is, whether it's an ant or whatever, and through those hollow, sort of syringe-like pincers, they will then and be sucking all the juices out of them!

And you came in—oh, the next one! So let's check that one over here! We go see that! So then now suck all the juices out and then just take it a little bit further down! Then this one's also a little bit active! And they normally get active when it gets a bit hot in the middle of the day as well!

So you can see just from the soil around it that it's actually quite active because it's been kept nice and clean! There's another smaller one here to see if he's willing to play along! Not always, that one just started kicking some sand up doing some maintenance there again!

And you know, what it's actually incredible, because in this phase, they can actually stay in the larval phase for up to ten years! And that is absolutely sensational for such a little creature to live for so long! And what happens then is they obviously metamorphosize into the adult lice swing!

And when they're at that stage, they don't have a mouth, they don't have mouth spots! So they can't even eat! So what they will do is they will defecate once, that will mate, and they will die! And it can happen in two to three days!

So up to ten years in the larval phase, but up to possibly a maximum of about three days in the adult, and it's all done! So once they do get to that phase, the lice swing, they're actually really pretty, but it doesn't last for long! So one of those interesting little life cycles of the antlion!

Now Ash, obviously I've been, you know, moving around and guiding and being in the wilderness for now twenty years since I started studying, or since I finished high school! So, well, it's taken all of that time to be able to have such a, you know, well not a bigger set of experience of all these different creatures, but I still, you know, I don't profess to know anything anyway near all the stuff that's out here in the bush!

And it's nice to find new things every time you go out and then try to identify them, and those are the ones that you always remember! The way you put the most effort into actually finding out what it is, and basically the interesting stuff as well! So that's what we're always looking for when you're walking!

You know, anything out of the ordinary, anything different that we can ever look at and debate, and maybe possibly identify as well, and then we learn as we go along! Yeah! It looks like, you know, that's just an old African giant land snail shell! I wanted that to be quite interesting for a hermit crab to use one of those as a shell to get quite big in there!

But there's also lots of activity of rodents! And I was talking about it a little while ago because we saw a lot of owl tracks on the road, and these are the type of little holes that these photoed elephant shrews and little gerbils and mice, and even rats, that will use these little tunnels.

And they actually get quite a little highway as well moving through the grass which they make! Fantastic pathways through! Yeah! And obviously run up and down through them! Now speaking of pathways and highways, let's go on over to Dave! I think he's driving around because lipids will also eat Lawrence and Toki of lipids, and rodents I’m talking over sim but they're hunting, turning a photon!

Oh sorry, it up! He's gone! Don't worry! There's a rebel hornbill there, and we are cooking—or cooking over the lipids, and my plans today are to see if I see any little pot! And not any with a choice between Tandy and Tingana! Out Prefontaine, Ghana being a man! So that I can tell him Happy Father's Day!

So I'm sure he has fathered a number of cubs around this area. I don't know how many cubs he has! For that, he has done a pretty job! And hopefully he will continue for free! You know, getting more cubs! He's about 12 years old! He's a leopard around this area! So R12, he has done very well!

I'll be more than happy if I could see a few more cubs from him! So that's my main plan today! Hopefully, I don't—this is my signal at this point! This is one area last Andy loves to come! We saw her the other day with a kill! What you have today is a janitor! Let's see if then I will study because your—the answer is a male!

And Fogg, let me know at what point you are! Okay! Are you just talking? Yell! I thank you for looking at me because I want to tell you Happy Father's Day! Sorry father! And that's a big, full yalla! And I'm sure he's aware! Today's Father's Day and feeding on his own!

And again, just like the crudity, so our browsers! And you can tell that's maybe the highest he can eat, in terms of reaching, on the top leaves as a browser. But kudus, as we saw earlier, had much longer necks, and they will go further looking or getting leaves that are full of moisture and maybe much younger leaves or twigs from the trees!

It turns around, so to make a move...charge! Nora, you're asking whether we have any okapis located in this region? Not clearly, touch nor okapis! I'm sure you know they look like half giraffe, half zebra! The nearest one out is some thousands of miles away in a country called DRC Congo, or Democratic Republic of Congo!

In zell, Least Concern before, that's where you could see okapis—not very many left! But not any that I know in this region of South Africa or in East Africa! The only place, maybe, if you're lucky to see them would be the DRC! That's where you'd see okapis! And they have been red-listed by the IUCN now, because you know they have been poached a lot because of the beautiful skin!

And the IUCN have red-listed them! And hopefully we're looking at the numbers growing and getting big in the future for people to be able to see them! Not sure if they would survive here because they tend to stay in more thickets, big forests, high ground and that!

You will have lots of rain and possibly all around, and maybe not survive like the niala we got here! The only commonality I would say between the two are the stripes you see here, but these stripes are much thinner on these niala balls than you intake!

So when they don't list the top leaves, they've been digging some roots or some small forms of plants from the ground and being browsers. They will not be grazing at all, seldom you see them grazing by sequest criteria! They'll always be browsing! But now considering, there is to dig some rhizomes or any roots from the grass!

And then moving closer to that shaded area where a chief can eat! And give tonight, a shady girl! Spider, you're asking me whether I have seen an elegance or dominance? You know, play by the two boots! I have not! And that's one thing I'm really looking forward to see!

I've always seen it on documentaries! But of course, when my colleagues have been out on green grass on safari, like I've seen them do it! I've seen, you know James, Henry, Taylor, Christian, you know all of them, and Ralph! Personally, I have not seen, but I'd be more than happy to see a display of male because I think it is something very exciting!

When I'm saying that, I would want also to imitate it as they'll do it! How they make themselves begin turning around! But more seeing more of the fight than the display of dominance! If I'd be lucky to see three for them together, that would be exciting!

And see, maybe we can read them and do a poll on who will do better than the other! Can see the tip, you know, on the end of the horns, like every, and as they get bigger it always shows a bit of maturity! And to see him alone there shows how mature, how he knows how and all he is!

Fantastic looking very clean! Yala! Someone who doesn't want to look very clean! Now everyone, I'm just looking at a little bit of a crime scene here because seems to be a little birdie that has been eaten! Just, well he's definitely been plucked just at the entrance to an art for Poirot as well!

And I'm not sure what else would have been using it there! But you can see all of these feathers, yeah! Lots of white dots! Well, what was brown dots? Now why don't we see what do you guys think what bird was this? Let's lay out them! I'm just gonna put a chest in there because I want to get out some of the other ones as well!

These are the characteristic colors that we've got here! There's another one! So something with brown and black sort of stripes like that, but also this looks like the baby part or the down feathers! And softer areas and they sort of got a white with the black stripe on it! Very fluffy here!

This is probably mostly due to the chest area of the bird, and you see they all these colors! So why don't you guys send through? What do you think? What bird is this? Let's see what you guys think, and then we can also see what do you think ate it?

I'm going to start just to speak what I think might have eaten it! Yeah, I think this is...it couldn't be a Mongoose! Something like a little Mongoose! It would obviously have been eaten on the ground here! And I'm wondering if the stick was used as a perch site, or if it was just sort of attacked into this little corner here, and this is where it started to pluck the feathers!

I don't see any fresh tracks of anything around here! You know, slimmed along! This would be an ideal kind of candidate! But then we could also have any of the bird-eating raptors as well! Even down to the little pill-spotted outlets! They also kill little birds and eat them! The sparrowhawks, the African goshawk! What else could be maybe a little jackal?

Now Christina, I don't think that's a crystal bar, but no, because a crystal bobberts has got lots of yellow and green and very almost luminous colors! When you see this is very indicative! Light brown with black! And then a little bit of white with dark brown to black! That's all in the greater part of these feathers here!

See that! This is quite indicative colors! Yeah, made! Yeah, it is a bird that is clearly missing some feathers! I would say I think that's probably the least of this little bird's problems because I'm pretty sure it's already been digested by whatever ingested it!

There's lots of feathers around! Oh, that's quite a pretty one there! Cuz ey! I suppose it could have been a Franklin! I would probably think one of the smaller ones, like a Koki Franklin! That is an option! Koki Franklin, is it? Oh, he has another last color there!

Now the last big feather! There it is! See, see these? These colors are very characteristic here! Pretty sure, you know, I don't know the exact answer! I'm just also going to, you know, think maybe! Maybe a little quail! Maybe a little button quail? These feathers are rather small!

And these look like these are possibly wing feathers or tail feathers! Those ones there! So it's a small little bird! Whatever it is, I would say a little button quail or, like you say, maybe a Koki Franklin! They are quite small!

As well, the other ones that possibly could also be is maybe something like a night jar! And, but you guys with your screenshots and so on, you might be able to take a little picture of those feathers, so maybe you’d be able to match them up with a different bird or two!

I'm not exactly sure, but it's one of these sort of brownie black-colored builds! A small little bird, as well! And I would think that it's some kind of nocturnal bird or raptor that's actually nailed it! C, as well, Simon, yeah, you could be right as well! Maybe it was a bar, a grass owl that any of the little owls that fly around here at night!

As well, and I'm sure that they could have got themselves a little quail or one of the night jars, etc. But there's a lot of feathers, as I say, and very characteristic colors! Anyway, that's a mystery for now! Let’s see what information you guys can come up with! Otherwise, I'll have a look also when I get back to camp in my bird book!

And just those exact colors there! It's quite characteristic! So, you know, that's very interesting! And as I say, stop being along the way for anything interesting! Like that, we are still making our way towards where those cheetah were last seen this morning! But these little things always interest me! And be a crime scene or something that we don't know exactly what has happened, and we try to work out the mystery!

The search for the cheetah seems to be continuing, and that's exactly what we're gonna do now! Likely, crank is quick on his hands there! Goodness, we've got one on Shawn, but he's got to walk on frame in a second! Or maybe he'll just stand there very nicely for us! Hello! Well, that's of course an injury well snapped horn from fighting with the other Impala!

I don't know, Anna! Did that? Though it's kind of hard to see, doesn’t? Doesn't look new? Maybe three?! Difficult to tell! That's not giving him a little bit of a headache, but I've never seen an impala die from a chopped-off horn! No, you're really dangerous, hey? No! Next year! Goodness gracious! He's gonna be a really, really good contender!

Well, I have one on Shawn, like a knife, like a sword! Now, okay, so the cheetah have—I think they’ve crossed waste! I think they’ve moved off on the property because I had some tracks, and then I was going back to go and look at them again! And unfortunately, a ginormous truck drove straight over all of the tracks that I'd marked! Nothing!

And then another car just in case the truck didn't get them came the opposite way! And since Craig and I have gone up and down there, we've just been seeing cars! It's a boundary road, of course, and one of the roads at all the delivery vehicles and things use! So it's normal! You don't normally get to see many tracks there! And then she can beat the traffic in the early morning!

So now I think we shall not look for cats! We're gonna look for everything else! And there may be some cats will appear! I would like to see wild dogs at some point! That could be quite cool! Maybe they'll be around! But I'm still just checking, just checking around here! Maybe we missed those cheetah!

Maybe they walk on the Triple M and then came back this way because they were coming north, and then they've changed their direction and gotten west! Very interesting! So maybe some draw, maybe some elephants! Maybe some zebra! Wildebeest will be quite nice! Probably try to do a little bit of birding if we see a decent bird party!

I think that's what we've got sort of planned! And then I’m looking forward to this evening, so some nocturnal critters at least! Young it does! It does get quite chilly! It's not too bad! Last night wasn't the coldest, but we have had a couple of sort of chilly days!

Now that these clouds have disappeared, maybe we will get some more chilly evenings! Yeah! Kind of dropped from about 18 degrees just as the sun goes down! And this is the Greece Celsius, of course! And then warming by the time we've woken up in the morning! It's anywhere between about 8 and 12 degrees, somewhere around there, though.

This morning must have been about 15 or 16 degrees Celsius! So that's not what's cold! It's once you start driving that it becomes really, really chilly! Because there is a little bit of a nip in the air at the moment! But bit of frost! Not that there's actual frost or anything down on it on the ground or any of the vegetation!

But it does, it does make you quite cold! There's some Franklin's that are making noises! Yet let's see what they're making noises about! Why you lying? Try and see! We won't get it! We're not gonna get a keen B, we're gonna get an abstracted B, I'm afraid!

There's a family of them, the towles profiles and little ones! And you see the chicks running through! Yeah! So that's one! There's so many of them! He's sunk! I saw about three or four just running off, young, young chicks! Maybe that's what they're talking about! Many are getting a little bit too far!

They're all up on this tree that was just to the right of us! Just sitting up there! I don't think it was necessarily anything! Now there was chatter at breakfast today about Sam solving the mystery of where Scuba Steve has gone! And I think David is really solved it! Yes, Taylor, you should not panic!

As we all worried when we missed our goslings, and now Scuba Steve has not only resurfaced from the water, but he has resurfaced to his usual position, we just came here because for two or three days, he has been missing in action! And the last person to be here, well, he also went under! But after a few minutes or a few seconds, he's gonna resurface again, which is very typical of hippos!

And the last person here was Steve, and Steve came back to the camp and told us he is a bit worried that Scuba Steve has gone missing! And we thought, did he go to Russia towards some football? Maybe not! If you did, he was the African teams were not doing very well!

And this morning, he caught a direct flight back to South Africa! And we have always debated how long will he post under the water before breath! You think that was just slightly under one minute? Scuba Steve did you breathe?! Would you just come out to look?

And we'll always tell when they breathe. Sometimes they just blow water out of the noses and look at him just keeping an eye on us! How are you doing? Where had you gone, Scuba Steve? I'm trying to mind in the dearest what holes from here because hippos cannot stay out of water for more than five hours, especially during the day!

Unless they stay under some very good figures or they'll have good cover and protecting the very sensitive skin from the Sun! I would just wonder where he had gone, honestly! And think of cheetah waterhole!

I do not think so, that is one area that he's occupied! Good job, you can get him! He's sleepy! Or do you think he won't have enough? So what? Still the eyes are aimed, but the ears are out! So he has a choice of listening to us without looking at us!

And then he goes, let me go down! And thank you very much! And Louie the final control! Things he likes the sound of my voice! Thank you! Maybe, hopefully, it was the case file! And Scuba Steve just know we are here to see the turnip! It's on the other end of the hall if go Nina!

We had been watching some Tara prints there that have been sunning themselves, teeny bit of sunbathing! And once this sense of you think something could go wrong, they'll very quickly go back to the water! Fantastic good news! We got a scuba!

Yeah, there he is again! One more look at him! Let go, pictures! Who asked him what happened to those goslings? And the geese? And I think we might be going to the third week now, if I'm not wrong! And nobody knows for a fact what transpired!

We have had so many theories! But personally, my guess is they relocated to another town! I mean, you know, they relocated to another waterhole, because they're just too young to be on their own! And you know, until maybe they curry about six to eight months for them to start living separately, I just think they went to a different waterhole!

And we also had a fury of predation and maybe resorted some egos or some leopards could have gotten them! But it's not easy to lose seven goslings together! Plus their parents! So we just think personally, I think they just went to another area, and hopefully, we shall know where they are! Also, be seen at one point!

Very good! Some blacksmiths lapwings there! Well done, son! So blacksmiths lapping laughing! So you see them! They're very aquatic, but sometimes they are so terrestrial! You will see them closed water and sometimes away from water!

And like most lapwings, they'll keep looking for food for anything aquatic on the water surface or on the edge of the water! And occasionally they'll be roosting! Having nests not far from such an area! Very monogamous! Lapwings actually! That's a very good question!

Why is he on his own, Winnipeg? Scuba Steve! And we have always been wondering why has he been living alone! But I see hippos are very dominant, and in the hierarchy, if he has not been able to establish some females for himself, he ends up being living alone!

But the question has been, when he leaves this particular waterhole, where does he go? Because we have not spotted him in any other waterhole! For us, either his smallish, or he's not strong enough to establish his own territory! And have some ladies with himself! That's my only guess!

Or he could be having some health issues that we do not know! And he has been enjoying this place, maybe hoping one day some ladies will come around! Which is rather difficult because the males who are the ladies, we always skip the famous Scuba Steve as you breathe!

Blowing air out there, opening the eye and closing! And this is one of the animals we don't take chances with in Africa! Anytime you meet a hippo out of the water, he should consider taking any measure to take care of yourself! Otherwise, they have been known to kill so many people in Africa!

Together with the buffalo! But like the villager come from, we have seen more damage and deaths caused by hippos than trucking! The team continues doing a good job well, and it seems like there's a few people that think that that crime scene or that little birdie that has been plucked and probably eaten!

You guys think maybe an African loopy? That's not a bad choice! I wonder if those feathers will fit the exact pattern of an African hippie! On it seems similar colors! But I don't think that the quack pattern would match! But I stand corrected!

Anyway! I'll just stop next to read bush wallah, obviously, because these are one of the plants that are seeding at the moment and fruiting! And you can see very nicely, that's the red bush! Well, I compete in a pickle autumn, and always with cambree tum!

You have these four-winged seed pods like that! And very indicative of a cambrium! More bush, we've just walked past another one which has got very similar seeds! Very similar size as well, but just a slightly different color to them! That's a russet bush wallah!

And you can see why they call it russet because it almost looks exactly like rust! That's how I always remembered it on a russet! Also the color, but slightly different in there in the size of the tree! And the leaves, but almost identical and they seed pods!

And obviously, they both fruiting, not at the moment, and does make for beautiful colors out here in the bush at the moment! Now, they're not the only one that are seeding! We've got lots of the grass that are seeding as well, and this one in particular is one of my favorite crosses—the blue seed grass!

If you have a look nice and closely, they just blowing in the wind of it! You can see what I call it blue seed grass! But that's not blue! Tinge on the end of the seeds! Or one of the nicer ones that are seeding at the moment!

But seems to be coming to an end with the grasses, the seeding process, I mean! And as we head into full winter and then into spring, obviously that whole cycle's gonna start repeating itself! Now we seem to have got information from Tyler that the cheetah search is possibly over because there might have crossed to the west!

We're gonna go and confirm that and just see if we don't pick up some fresh tracks moving back onto the property! Who knows? They might have gone out, but they could really be back on, or maybe they didn't go out in the first place! We just want to confirm that, and if we can, then we’ll try and find them!

Alternatively, we’ll just keep on walking nice and slowly and seeing whatever we can find along these nice well-worn game paths, because there’s always something to be found! Looking under all the little logs and so on, where we might find some scorpions or anything!

Just riding up now! Zach, these bush willows, they have major protection. I would say it's in the hardness of the wood! You won't particularly find elephants in that breaking of entire branches! And big ones, anyway, they do take the smaller ones!

And what elephants will eat on a bush willow branches? It's just literally the bark! So they do roll these around in their mouths and sort of feeding on this bark! But then the rest of the wood is very, very hard! So, it's pretty well protected against woodborers and termites!

Etc. is a red bush willow; one of the best firewoods around, and the rest of the bush willow is also very nice hardwood! But the animals do browse on its a little bit! And I suppose it's just down to a little bit of chemical warfare with some of the animals!

Somewhat they do make the leaves a little bit more bitter if they've been fed on quite a lot, as do a lot of the trees, and that, as soon as they start getting fed on a little bit, they do then pump some chemicals into the leaves making them better. So, as I say, just walking along on this beautiful winter's afternoon!

See, and stopping for whatever we can find, and we're just gonna continue on doing that! Wonderful! Wonderful! I hope you enjoy it! So, I got really excited! I was like, "Oh, cheetah tracks!" And then had forgotten what road I was on! Earth! Or maybe they've made a return!

But it isn't! It's ones when they walk from the repeater to Zoey's Road! So there's eight tracks! There's a couple going around here, but I think this was still from earlier this morning when they were moving around a little bit! Hmm! Let's go that way!

Sorry, I'm changing my mind! A very, very indecisive! Today which is a problem when you're on a safari! Indecisiveness is oops-y is not great! Wait over the bumps! Yeah! Thus you were walking up and down! But I don't know if these are as fresh as the ones that I had seen a little while ago!

And so yeah! And Texan is also convinced—Texel is a guide from Juma that they have crossed waist! If you'll just keep checking, go back down all the way! And just check sort of towards triage down!

Like I said, if we get to some elephants and things along the way, that would be really, really quite nice! We might have to go and try to find that herd of elephants that we were with this morning! But, and we're feeding in a drainage line! But knowing how quickly elephants commute to, they could have also crossed to the east!

That could have gone towards torturing! So from here, we'll slowly start making our way that side! And then maybe a little bit later, we will pop into chitra! I’m trying to get an update from that side to see if there's anything happening!

So yeah! So that's sort of our plan! But it's quiet again! Again, the cat surveyed me! They just let me see them on foot and then in the car! Not allowed to see them in the vehicle, apparently! Wonderful! Okay, maybe we want to do a bit of birding, too!

There’s much out this afternoon which I'm surprised by because it is such a beautiful afternoon as well! Sort of pointed out, it's really stunning! It's not too hot! Was hot at one point, and then the clouds came over, and now it's actually the perfect temperature to have a jacket on!

Well, jersey on! Craig's got his big jacket on already! But I think it's gonna turn into a chilly night! Squirrel! Why did you run in front of my car like that? He's just—he made jumps! You thief! He's gonna come out! He should see the ride! Squirrel!

Squirrel! Squirrel! Squirrel! Squirrel! And of course, jeez, don't call the animals! Especially a cheetah or something! I think it's one thing as playing around other little animals! I just look about something! Go no! And then they run away!

Anyways, look well! It was a squirrel, but my favorite thing in the whole wide world, and I think it's every guard's pitch haters when people call the animals when they go to a lion! What you're gonna do? Measure that lion goes, "Hmm where is it?" Okay, so excited!

You know, like get up and I run to the Congo? Yes, or there's another one? I promise you! I have tried! Because obviously, I need to test the theory! I've tried to make every sun next to a lion, next to a leopard once in my life! It doesn't work!

It doesn't get them to look at you! And it's exceptionally skittish animal! But why would you even really want to be tormenting a very nervous? And we want to be quiet and trying to get them used to the vehicles initially! You don't start off with strange sounds when you have virtual animals!

I mean, even turn the radios down that to a point, and then introduce loud blaring radios that can be experienced, you know, when you're in sightings with other safari guides! So I've tried it; it doesn't work! So there's no need to do it!

I'm doing this what all the safari guards out there! They'll thank me later! But it is really funny because, I mean, I suppose especially when you're looking at a lion or something! I think you just look like cats! And of course, why wouldn't you want to try and call the animals?

But they don't know! They haven't been trained! So they don't even know what you're trying to do to them, or what the purpose is of making those sounds! I probably think humans are weird! Craig and I were chatting just now! We wondered if animals log human sightings!

Like I wonder if the cheetah ate off! We had another encounter with people! We thought it was going to be quite dangerous, but it turned out ok! I wonder if they do that as well? Now I'm taking all said, and we have to lock all what I walk!

Swish! You really should be! Yeah, exactly! I was saying now! Directing just wait! Do you think they ever get excited and go, "Ooh, human with blonde hair!" That's a reciting! You know, things like that! You know, I wonder!

One day I'll ask all the animals these questions when I get superpowers to talk to them! I think I need to get bitten by what a nuclear killer spider! A nuclear active, a radioactive spider, sorry! Something like that!

But I don't want to be shooting webs! I don't want to be doing that! Well, that could be quite fun! I can't imagine that would be very useful for my job! But if I could speak to the animals, hey, that would be amazing! I may even choose speaking to the animals over flying if I was given those two things!

Okay, so no, like, yeah! I think those tracks that I had seen was from earlier today! They were just wandering around! But anyways, we're playing a very tough game of find it! Wadley out here in the bush! Trying to find the animals!

And well, David seems to be playing that game too! Yes, super job to do! And the whole idea is keep looking, keep looking until luck strikes! We have done pretty well out there since we started! And I've covered about 10% of the area I was thinking to look for in Ghana!

So I still got another 90% to go around looking! And in the meantime, I'm thinking if I don't get in Ghana to wish him Happy Birthday, then I can concentrate on Tandy and the beautiful princess!

And this is one particular area that they love hanging out! Because it's not very far from where she was born! So I want to spend a couple of minutes here looking around! So yeah, you're right! It just straight on a stick in a box and just gets into Fogg's way or his camera, but he survived!

I mean, the lumber was born around this area! So it's not an issue for the mother to keep coming to the same area where she gave birth! And we have seen her here a couple of times! Seems some female yalas here! I do not know what you think whether you're gonna move forward or just stop there!

Move forward, alright! Seen lots of similar ones today, from the wildebeest to the kudus we saw earlier, but now! Gosh, bananas! It's always beautiful to see them getting the leaves or the bush willows before the old dry up!

Or before they leave them shut down! And she's such a heart! And two of them are having a little go for each other! I'm not sure why they practice, but it's very typical for males, you know? I like the females, which do not normally fight!

Once the whole, it's very neutral! I don't know the last time I saw two females fighting of any species! But males like that young one there are most likely doing more of a play fight than an actual fight! Just too young to be fighting!

And I'm sure the mother put a bit of discipline! Hold on to them! This should not happen! You're too young! But if you play fighting, that's okay! The thing you need to do is to keep eating! As the wind is picking up slowly, you can see from the grass how it's moving their severity! Because it's our round, we have seen wind!

Picking up absolutely! I will do that! I mean, our to stop! We will move forward! Okay, that’s good fun! Okay! My foot of the brick, sir! Ebola! Excellent! Cannulas also, just like the kudu!

So our browsers, I'll just crush, they're trying to imagine me needing some oxpeckers if they have any ticks with them! They'll stop to it! If the wind picks up very much, which does! It will go very well with most of the antelopes because the sense of hearing is a bit imbalanced!

Still very each! Or something there! Very good! Welcome! And that's a good question! And you're asking, what does the one yella mean? And I think from the local people here, I think a young yella means onion!

And I'll confirm, but I will loo in the front of control! Chrome that declares Liu! Thank you very much! That was just a guess! I think I was taught that, you know, some months ago! And yeah, I mean yalla actually means onion!

And what an interesting name! Or do you want to know high onion, you know? Or do they look like onions, or they smell like onions? We have found animals, for example, the waterbox, having a particular smell! Very good! And Liu from the control tower, is because the tentorium of the layers on onions and our groceries!

And even look at them carefully from the straps they got! Yes, they're just like, you know, the layers, especially when you peel the onion that we dig from the ground! Thank you very much, true!

I do not know how the mists of the knee allowed! Whoops! Something must have scoped him there! If any of one of them steps on a real stick and two breaks it, and if they're not sure what might have happened, they'll always take off! Just thinking with someone who is after them! And that's why they'll stop fast from eating and fast concentrate and find out what could be happening!

And either change direction immediately! But all looks good! So you got youngsters, the young stuff, males, and youngsters, not a big move! Like what we saw earlier! And you can see how the bush willows are being moved by the air as the wind is picking up!

Fantastic! Very good! Neela's, keep enjoying yourself! Hopefully, all will be safe as we move forward! Alright, a beautiful girl is still searching! Every time David says that, so we've seen so far since you last saw! So you've seen one blacksmith lapwing! Hey, how exciting is that?!

We decided to move on from the blacksmith lapping, though, because we want to find something more amazing! Even though there are really cool birds! We've just—we've been spending lots of time with them, and maybe we'll find someone on Agona! You see it up top there!

Let's see! Where are you?! I think it's a little bit higher! It's there! Ah! There we go! It was a tricky one to see though! Hello! That's so cool! These creatures are blue-headed! Agona also haven't seen one in ages!

Like for a really, really, really long time! I enjoyed seeing the egamas coming down the main road in the Mara! And was bright red heads and purple bodies! Those were special to sort of see! The tree similar in size, and we do see these, of course, the tree!

Agona! They spend a lot of time on the trees! And that's the perfect spot! Bask in the sun catching the last of the golden glow! And what a perfect house that it has got there! Because it's an oblong tree, and one that's not alive anymore courtesy of the elephants as they were embark!

But I also think that the termites have had something to do with it! I bet that they've started hollowing it out, which has now created the most amazing sort of cavities and also the bark is quite thick and is peeling away, but hasn't quite sort of disappeared!

Notice we had fallen off! So look at that perfect hidey hole! That's awesome! Very nice to see! And that would of course provide a lot of protection from raptors and things like that! But something like a gym! Nogine and African hawk eagle would specialize in catching all sorts of critters living in between that bark like that!

So it's not safe from everybody! Also, other snakes! I mean they could be preyed on by a variety of different snakes! Our chair too, but that was nice! That is quite cool to see! You know, Mr. Craig, please remind me! We could be just turning on two Weavers! Nice!

Now, is that we must check our tree for the bush babies! We, I think that they're living! Remember, we had them in the top of the log! Who are not—so we must come and check that same! Oh! I thought I was gonna make it today without sneezing on safari!

Goodness! Excuse me! Whew! Almost as she hit my face on the steering wheel! It was the big sneeze! Which tree was it now? I think it was a little bit! So around the corner it wasn't as close as I thought to that Junction! I remember thinking, okay, wasn't any of these little trees!

I think it was this one coming up! Boo! To the left! Enjoy! Yes, I would imagine they'd be in the same family! The agamas! They'd all just be—whilst both slightly different! But yes, that's some way or another! They'll be related! They're the same species!

I don't think that there are subspecies! There's two different Craig things! You're not the—is! Though there's a squirrel! Oh! It's a pecking as I pointed that there! Was a squirrel watching us from that hole that you've got in there! And the screen it just had its head out! It was quite creepy, actually, the way it was just spying on us!

If you, you know, can you see that big hole?! I think I could still see it a little bit! I thought I saw its tail now! And Pradeep, the squirrel man, is actually watching! So maybe it'll poke its head out again! I think I may have given a fright that I pointed really quickly because I got so excited there was something in the tree!

Maybe we're gonna do today, we're just gonna look inside the trees for all sorts of things! Now shine! Squirrel! Very, very shy squirrel! Anyways, there's one of these trees around here! Yeah! Where the bush babies were living!

So we'll come in and have a look and check around here again! But that's, of course, we'll have to be a little bit late! To this evening! It's still never too early! Or the bush babies to come out! And actually come out at night! In case you don't know what we're talking about!

And why they aren't around! Okie-dokie! Right! Perfect timing because we're just about to jump onto Garra main, where the road gets a little bit bumpy! So we got a rough, well, everyone! As per usual, I'm out on bush walk! And you know that I do like to get up close and personal with the different kinds of dung around!

And so I want to ask of you to tell me these three different dungs here! They look almost exactly the same, but just of varying sizes! Now that first one over there—very, very small, tiny little dung pellets! Getting a little bit bigger over here, and ultimately a little bit more sizable over there!

So who flung this dung? And I want to just try and show you a little bit, relativity-wise, how big it is! And there's quite hard little dung pellets! Now remember, when these animals obviously do exhibit these little dung pellets, it's some ruminants! So you wouldn't have a hand gut for ruminants!

And this one, very very hard little dung pellets as well! So I'm actually needing to use my little pair of pliers to break it up! Very fine! So obviously from a small little antelope! I want to know which one you might think that is!

So, and I can't really see the particles on the inside there, so that's quite interesting! Larry, you say let's get the scoop on the poop! Absolutely! So we had that tiny little one, and with those little ones, and there's a couple of different animals that you're probably going to be leaning towards!

And actually, one of them buries! They don't! So just give you an idea of where this one was found—this was not buried! And it was found a little bit in the thickets! Okay, so the next size up—that one, a little bit bigger!

And this one is a little bit fresher as well! But very, very similar on the inside! Looks like a little bit of a mixture, maybe some leaves and grass in me! Not exactly sure! It's very very small! And it's been very well chewed now!

This was found a little bit out in the open but near some thickets! So that gives you an idea of this kind of habitat, and it was also in a very big midden! So there was lots of dung around, and lots of different individuals! You could see we were using a common latrine site!

Now this last one, a little bit bigger! But it found completely on its own! And well, as I say, little bit bigger! And I'll probably find that there'll be bigger parts in there as well! There looks like a little bit of grass stalks; a little bit of fragments of leaves as well!

And so we've got now three different sized dung pellets! But this is, you know, all part and parcel to tracking! Because it's one of the checks and signs—not necessarily always just going to find tracks of animals—you can also just find signs of them!

So poo obviously being a major sign of an animal that moves through an area and maybe also where they've been frequenting and who are they territorial or not, etc. Now Zach, you say impala, kudu, and giraffe! Zach, I would say that two of those are correct! However, the numbering is wrong because the numbering is wrong on that!

Because you've got to write in parlor and kudu, but the numbering is wrong! So let's see what other ones you guys say! I'm not going to tell you exactly which one, but yes, as I say, these are rather small, medium-sized, and then a little bit more like rugby ball-sized on shape!

Okay, Justin, you also got another two right, but you say scrub here! And what does that stem, buck? And I think Impala! So you've got one slash maybe two out of those! So, but that's great, guys! Thanks a lot for the attempt this year!

Now what would it be? Steinbuck or Dyker? One of them does bury their dung! Okay! And which one is that? Herbie? Which one buries its dung? Steinbuck buries its dung! So very easy! This one was not buried, so it's gonna be our little common duiker that would have made those little ones there!

The Impala on a nice big midden, absolutely! That's ours there! And then this over here, number three would be that from either nyala or kudu! Her B and R couldn't decide between the two of them! They are very similar!

Are there between Nyala and kudu? But if I had to bet on it, I would probably go with nyala because I think kudu are slightly more cylindrical than these are almost boxy-top shape!

Anyway, that's the one! Listen for us who flung dung this afternoon! So thanks for joining on that part of the afternoon bush walk! We will be looking now if we can find any more signs of these beautiful cheetah cats!

We're just going to check; we now up our sandy patch! We're gonna head toward Sydney's and we're gonna go and see! Hopefully, these cats have returned! Good luck, Ralph! And hopefully, you see those cheetahs for us!

And he's always amazing to see those two cubs playing! Full of energy, like no last night and more so this morning! They give us a very, very good show! No, not yet! With either tingana or tandy or any other little pod! Not even one single track, but that doesn't mean we are not doing well!

What you've been seeing? More Ella's tracks, and we don't know what is Ella's! You should be following them! And this is the one moment you say anything—that's the bush will! Throut you! It's more than welcome!

And so when you don't think about one particular thing, things just showing up! Just wanna
