you get quite lucky with our leopard
you get quite lucky with our leopard sightings and the dense thickets that we

always good when you’re driving through
always good when you’re driving through these areas to check the shady parts but
these areas to check the shady parts but
these areas to check the shady parts but where we check there’s a little bit
where we check there’s a little bit
where we check there’s a little bit different to where James would be

for lipids to sit on in the afternoon
for lipids to sit on in the afternoon particularly a windy afternoon like
particularly a windy afternoon like
particularly a windy afternoon like we’ve got today it’s quite warm and so
we’ve got today it’s quite warm and so
we’ve got today it’s quite warm and so there’s a bit of a breeze that’s blowing
there’s a bit of a breeze that’s blowing
there’s a bit of a breeze that’s blowing and on top there it’s going to be a lot

you’ll find that cats do like to lie up
you’ll find that cats do like to lie up there on these windier hotter afternoons
there on these windier hotter afternoons
there on these windier hotter afternoons or sometimes even up in the trees

now James you say you wouldn’t swim at any of the dams or pans around Juma if
any of the dams or pans around Juma if
any of the dams or pans around Juma if it was hot well I think I would tend to
it was hot well I think I would tend to
it was hot well I think I would tend to agree with James the funny thing about
agree with James the funny thing about
agree with James the funny thing about this area is that they out of nowhere
this area is that they out of nowhere
this area is that they out of nowhere all of a sudden a crocodile will appear
all of a sudden a crocodile will appear
all of a sudden a crocodile will appear in one of those small pans and you’ve
in one of those small pans and you’ve
in one of those small pans and you’ve got to be very careful with crocodiles
got to be very careful with crocodiles
got to be very careful with crocodiles they even though you don’t see them it’s
they even though you don’t see them it’s
they even though you don’t see them it’s not to say they’re not there they can
not to say they’re not there they can
not to say they’re not there they can sit underwater and hold their breath for
sit underwater and hold their breath for
sit underwater and hold their breath for close to two hours so sitting there you
close to two hours so sitting there you
close to two hours so sitting there you might come along and think oh there’s no
might come along and think oh there’s no
might come along and think oh there’s no crocodile I’ll just have a little swim
crocodile I’ll just have a little swim
crocodile I’ll just have a little swim and then back here you go the crocodile
and then back here you go the crocodile
and then back here you go the crocodile grabs used to be with careful and in

saying that we wouldn’t swim in the dams
saying that we wouldn’t swim in the dams yeah I would imagine that James it could
yeah I would imagine that James it could
yeah I would imagine that James it could be a very bad idea for you to try and
be a very bad idea for you to try and
be a very bad idea for you to try and swim across the Mara River because if
swim across the Mara River because if
swim across the Mara River because if you’ve seen some of the crocodiles that
you’ve seen some of the crocodiles that
you’ve seen some of the crocodiles that lurk in the Mara River they look as

talking about the heat the animals
talking about the heat the animals themselves will have no such problem

pan that’s not going to stop them going for a nice big voila and and playing
for a nice big voila and and playing
for a nice big voila and and playing around in the water so hopefully our
around in the water so hopefully our
around in the water so hopefully our idea to hit towards water is going to be
idea to hit towards water is going to be
idea to hit towards water is going to be successful now in the distance I can
successful now in the distance I can
successful now in the distance I can spot some of our antelope that we get
spot some of our antelope that we get
spot some of our antelope that we get you so we’ll get to them shortly they a
you so we’ll get to them shortly they a
you so we’ll get to them shortly they a little bit further ahead of where I am
little bit further ahead of where I am
little bit further ahead of where I am now so I’m just going to bounce our way
now so I’m just going to bounce our way
now so I’m just going to bounce our way slowly along towards where they are
Eric the poets you wondering if it’s
Eric the poets you wondering if it’s ever snowed here in the bush
ever snowed here in the bush
ever snowed here in the bush Eric in my time ya know and as far as I
Eric in my time ya know and as far as I
Eric in my time ya know and as far as I know no it hasn’t snowed yeah we are in
know no it hasn’t snowed yeah we are in
know no it hasn’t snowed yeah we are in the middle of our winter so we are in
the middle of our winter so we are in
the middle of our winter so we are in August which is often a cold month here
August which is often a cold month here
August which is often a cold month here but it is 30 degrees or close to 90
but it is 30 degrees or close to 90
but it is 30 degrees or close to 90 degrees Fahrenheit so gives you an idea
degrees Fahrenheit so gives you an idea
degrees Fahrenheit so gives you an idea of what winter is like here in South
of what winter is like here in South
of what winter is like here in South Africa it’s not exactly the most
Africa it’s not exactly the most
Africa it’s not exactly the most strenuous and cold situation that we
strenuous and cold situation that we
strenuous and cold situation that we have and so no no snow that I know of we
have and so no no snow that I know of we

have had frost once or twice but never
have had frost once or twice but never snow would be quite cool to have snow
snow would be quite cool to have snow
snow would be quite cool to have snow they imagine I think our animals would

threats vultures face well they all
threats vultures face well they all numerous so probably the biggest threat
numerous so probably the biggest threat
numerous so probably the biggest threat that vultures have is loss of habitat so
that vultures have is loss of habitat so
that vultures have is loss of habitat so loss of nesting sites really is a big
loss of nesting sites really is a big
loss of nesting sites really is a big big one for them so that you find that
big one for them so that you find that
big one for them so that you find that as we inhabit places and we try and get
as we inhabit places and we try and get
as we inhabit places and we try and get into areas we often will destroy perfect
into areas we often will destroy perfect
into areas we often will destroy perfect trees that they can nest in so that’s
trees that they can nest in so that’s
trees that they can nest in so that’s one – as we put power lines wherever we
one – as we put power lines wherever we
one – as we put power lines wherever we go and power lines for vultures are
go and power lines for vultures are
go and power lines for vultures are terrible things they end up flying into
terrible things they end up flying into
terrible things they end up flying into them and they die from that so that’s
them and they die from that so that’s
them and they die from that so that’s really a big problem and then the last
really a big problem and then the last
really a big problem and then the last one is actual poisoning of vultures so
one is actual poisoning of vultures so
one is actual poisoning of vultures so vultures are used in the multitrader
vultures are used in the multitrader
vultures are used in the multitrader muti is basically is a trade of animals
muti is basically is a trade of animals
muti is basically is a trade of animals within africa and which have has beliefs
within africa and which have has beliefs
within africa and which have has beliefs about them and they basically poison
about them and they basically poison

these vultures to use them for the Sun
these vultures to use them for the Sun gormer’s or witch doctors in medicine so
gormer’s or witch doctors in medicine so
gormer’s or witch doctors in medicine so it’s really a big problem and lots and
it’s really a big problem and lots and
it’s really a big problem and lots and lots of vultures have been poisoned the
lots of vultures have been poisoned the
lots of vultures have been poisoned the other thing is farmers and varying
other thing is farmers and varying
other thing is farmers and varying others there try poison carcasses for of
others there try poison carcasses for of
others there try poison carcasses for of animals that have been preyed upon by
animals that have been preyed upon by
animals that have been preyed upon by things like caracal or leopard as they
things like caracal or leopard as they
things like caracal or leopard as they try get rid of that predator and then
try get rid of that predator and then
try get rid of that predator and then the outcome is the vultures come in and
the outcome is the vultures come in and
the outcome is the vultures come in and they feed off it and also die – so those
they feed off it and also die – so those
they feed off it and also die – so those are the biggest problems facing vultures
are the biggest problems facing vultures
are the biggest problems facing vultures and that’s why most of them are on the

those are paws for a leopard a very
those are paws for a leopard a very small young female leopard that we
small young female leopard that we
small young female leopard that we actually saw last night and these are
actually saw last night and these are

we used to but we know she’s a leopard
we used to but we know she’s a leopard for a number of reasons these tracks
for a number of reasons these tracks
for a number of reasons these tracks firstly the size of them and the shape
firstly the size of them and the shape
firstly the size of them and the shape of them scream leopard already you could
of them scream leopard already you could

maybe confuse this size with something
maybe confuse this size with something like a caracal but it’s got the three
like a caracal but it’s got the three
like a caracal but it’s got the three lobes at the back and then the toe is
