right seems like Tristan is looking up at some track so let’s head back to him
at some track so let’s head back to him
at some track so let’s head back to him and find out what he’s after I am
and find out what he’s after I am
and find out what he’s after I am looking at tracks I’m looking at tracks
looking at tracks I’m looking at tracks
looking at tracks I’m looking at tracks of probably one of the biggest snake
of probably one of the biggest snake
of probably one of the biggest snake tracks that I’ve seen since I’ve been at
tracks that I’ve seen since I’ve been at
tracks that I’ve seen since I’ve been at Juma this is seriously large as you can
Juma this is seriously large as you can
Juma this is seriously large as you can see it it’s kind of twisting its way I

don’t know what the word would be sort of going from side to side across the
of going from side to side across the
of going from side to side across the road you can see the big mounds of sand
road you can see the big mounds of sand
road you can see the big mounds of sand being pushed away from the backside and
being pushed away from the backside and
being pushed away from the backside and going so the snake was moving towards us
going so the snake was moving towards us
going so the snake was moving towards us with the sand being pushed away from us
with the sand being pushed away from us
with the sand being pushed away from us a little bit and so what I wanted to
a little bit and so what I wanted to
a little bit and so what I wanted to show you is just how thick this snake
show you is just how thick this snake
show you is just how thick this snake track actually is it looks about the
track actually is it looks about the
track actually is it looks about the size of my forearm so where’s a good
size of my forearm so where’s a good
size of my forearm so where’s a good clear one here VM let’s do this side so
clear one here VM let’s do this side so
clear one here VM let’s do this side so if I have to put my forearm inside there
if I have to put my forearm inside there
if I have to put my forearm inside there there we go it fits just right so my
there we go it fits just right so my
there we go it fits just right so my form would fit inside of that section
form would fit inside of that section
form would fit inside of that section right there which is well there we go
right there which is well there we go
right there which is well there we go that’s House wide that snake is that
that’s House wide that snake is that
that’s House wide that snake is that gives you an idea of how thick the snake
gives you an idea of how thick the snake
gives you an idea of how thick the snake is and how big it is now snakes that get
is and how big it is now snakes that get
is and how big it is now snakes that get this thick are very few and far between
this thick are very few and far between
this thick are very few and far between there’s only probably three candidates
there’s only probably three candidates
there’s only probably three candidates that we could take for this one would be
that we could take for this one would be
that we could take for this one would be a puff adder the other one would be a
a puff adder the other one would be a
a puff adder the other one would be a Python of some size I mean that wouldn’t
Python of some size I mean that wouldn’t
Python of some size I mean that wouldn’t be the biggest Python but it would be a
be the biggest Python but it would be a
be the biggest Python but it would be a Python or a incredibly large Black Mamba
Python or a incredibly large Black Mamba
Python or a incredibly large Black Mamba would be the other option but given the
would be the other option but given the
would be the other option but given the small gate of the twist and turn it
small gate of the twist and turn it
small gate of the twist and turn it probably in all likelihood is a very big
probably in all likelihood is a very big
probably in all likelihood is a very big puff adder puff adders gets a wide wide
puff adder puff adders gets a wide wide
puff adder puff adders gets a wide wide wide body and that small kind of gate
wide body and that small kind of gate
wide body and that small kind of gate like that would be a short snake but
like that would be a short snake but
like that would be a short snake but very wide but still amazing to see now
very wide but still amazing to see now
very wide but still amazing to see now it’s gone towards a little section here
it’s gone towards a little section here
it’s gone towards a little section here behind me that’s fallen over trees and
behind me that’s fallen over trees and
behind me that’s fallen over trees and stumps and these tracks are actually
stumps and these tracks are actually
stumps and these tracks are actually funny enough on top of our vehicle
funny enough on top of our vehicle
funny enough on top of our vehicle tracks wavy came down just now which was
tracks wavy came down just now which was
tracks wavy came down just now which was not long ago maybe about 45 minutes ago
not long ago maybe about 45 minutes ago
not long ago maybe about 45 minutes ago so I want to just check back here and
so I want to just check back here and
so I want to just check back here and see maybe we get lucky and we can
see maybe we get lucky and we can
see maybe we get lucky and we can actually find the snake and track it
actually find the snake and track it
actually find the snake and track it down probably went in somewhere here
down probably went in somewhere here
down probably went in somewhere here lots of little snake hidey holes here
lots of little snake hidey holes here
lots of little snake hidey holes here this little termite mound that it could

this little termite mound that it could have gone in
so captain awesome you say please go
so captain awesome you say please go look for the snake well I mean we can’t
look for the snake well I mean we can’t
look for the snake well I mean we can’t try and track it down of course it’s
try and track it down of course it’s
try and track it down of course it’s going to go to a certain point and I
going to go to a certain point and I
going to go to a certain point and I think it’s probably going to hide away
think it’s probably going to hide away
think it’s probably going to hide away if it’s something like a Python then
if it’s something like a Python then
if it’s something like a Python then they go underground quite a lot so
they go underground quite a lot so
they go underground quite a lot so they’ll find a termite mom into the
they’ll find a termite mom into the
they’ll find a termite mom into the termite man and hide out something like
termite man and hide out something like
termite man and hide out something like a Mamba is going to be very quick and
a Mamba is going to be very quick and
a Mamba is going to be very quick and move off up into the trees and gonna be
move off up into the trees and gonna be
move off up into the trees and gonna be quite tough to find puff adder is
quite tough to find puff adder is
quite tough to find puff adder is probably our best bit in terms of
probably our best bit in terms of
probably our best bit in terms of actually finding the snake we would have
actually finding the snake we would have
actually finding the snake we would have to walk through this grass and look very
to walk through this grass and look very
to walk through this grass and look very very carefully and try and see if I can
very carefully and try and see if I can

so Samar the reason we have less big

you had as many big male lions as you had lionesses on safari in another

able to mate with them then inevitably
able to mate with them then inevitably males get killed and so that’s why
males get killed and so that’s why
males get killed and so that’s why there’s less of them is that the
there’s less of them is that the
there’s less of them is that the competition over females is so much more

infinity gaming you’re wondering how we
infinity gaming you’re wondering how we can identify which Leopard it is well
can identify which Leopard it is well
can identify which Leopard it is well normally there are a few ways of trying
normally there are a few ways of trying
normally there are a few ways of trying to identify the leopards you can look at
to identify the leopards you can look at
to identify the leopards you can look at their spot whisker pattern so the spots
their spot whisker pattern so the spots
their spot whisker pattern so the spots on top or whether they’re just on top of
on top or whether they’re just on top of
on top or whether they’re just on top of their whiskers and that they’re
their whiskers and that they’re
their whiskers and that they’re different for every leopard so they’ll
different for every leopard so they’ll
different for every leopard so they’ll have maybe four on one side five on the
have maybe four on one side five on the
have maybe four on one side five on the other side and if you can see the whole
other side and if you can see the whole
other side and if you can see the whole face and you can just get an idea of the
face and you can just get an idea of the
face and you can just get an idea of the side profile now in this particular case

so Fabiola you’re saying and you always
so Fabiola you’re saying and you always thought rabies was spread by bites only
thought rabies was spread by bites only
thought rabies was spread by bites only well not necessarily so if an animal
well not necessarily so if an animal
well not necessarily so if an animal that has rabies is fit upon and there’s
that has rabies is fit upon and there’s
that has rabies is fit upon and there’s a cut in the mouth or anything like that
a cut in the mouth or anything like that
a cut in the mouth or anything like that then that animal can get it now I just
then that animal can get it now I just
then that animal can get it now I just want to turn off my lights as we go
want to turn off my lights as we go
want to turn off my lights as we go through this big herd of Impala and so
through this big herd of Impala and so
through this big herd of Impala and so you know it’s not only by being puts in
you know it’s not only by being puts in
you know it’s not only by being puts in by that rabid animal you can pick it up
by that rabid animal you can pick it up
by that rabid animal you can pick it up from some of the animals actually

from some of the animals actually feeding off a another infected
feeding off a another infected
feeding off a another infected individual all right off we go and so
individual all right off we go and so
individual all right off we go and so that’s why if you remember there was a

and Cindy Lee well tried to kill a dog which was then tested once it was
which was then tested once it was
which was then tested once it was exterminated and was found positive for
exterminated and was found positive for

rabies and that’s why Cindy Lee had to
rabies and that’s why Cindy Lee had to go through a whole treatment to try and
go through a whole treatment to try and
go through a whole treatment to try and stop him from contracting rabies and it
stop him from contracting rabies and it
stop him from contracting rabies and it was a whole drawn-out process but and
was a whole drawn-out process but and
was a whole drawn-out process but and that was only because he you know he
that was only because he you know he
that was only because he you know he tried to feed on that animal and he and

then it would have been fine but he
then it would have been fine but he unfortunately tried to it and the animal
unfortunately tried to it and the animal
unfortunately tried to it and the animal didn’t bite him so it wasn’t that he was
didn’t bite him so it wasn’t that he was
didn’t bite him so it wasn’t that he was bitten it was more that he fed on it and
bitten it was more that he fed on it and
