dick whoops now we’ve talked a lot today
dick whoops now we’ve talked a lot today just sort of about populations and
just sort of about populations and
just sort of about populations and densities and things like that so I just
densities and things like that so I just
densities and things like that so I just want to back the the ecological train on
want to back the the ecological train on
want to back the the ecological train on up and just start from the beginning so
up and just start from the beginning so
up and just start from the beginning so when we talk about populations we’re
when we talk about populations we’re
when we talk about populations we’re talking you have individuals you have
talking you have individuals you have
talking you have individuals you have populations and then you have
populations and then you have
populations and then you have communities so tündi is one individual
communities so tündi is one individual
communities so tündi is one individual in the population of leopards in the

leopards in the greater Kruger area
leopards in the greater Kruger area alright and the the size of the area
alright and the the size of the area
alright and the the size of the area that is populated or the the densities
that is populated or the the densities
that is populated or the the densities of the population with an area are very
of the population with an area are very

whatever organism it is so for this
whatever organism it is so for this leopard for tündi she would have to
leopard for tündi she would have to
leopard for tündi she would have to have suitable habitat so things like
have suitable habitat so things like
have suitable habitat so things like this marula tree and although leopards
this marula tree and although leopards
this marula tree and although leopards are quite variable but let’s stick with
are quite variable but let’s stick with
are quite variable but let’s stick with this area for now and not only is it the
this area for now and not only is it the
this area for now and not only is it the habitat where she’s walking around and

habitat where she’s walking around and climbing up and putting her cub but also
climbing up and putting her cub but also
climbing up and putting her cub but also the food that is within that habitat so

what you see with a lot of the larger
what you see with a lot of the larger organisms like tandy like this leopard
organisms like tandy like this leopard
organisms like tandy like this leopard is that they tend to have lower
is that they tend to have lower
is that they tend to have lower population densities over larger areas
population densities over larger areas
population densities over larger areas because of the food they need to eat but
because of the food they need to eat but
because of the food they need to eat but now that statement
now that statement
now that statement contradicts a lot of what we were
contradicts a lot of what we were
contradicts a lot of what we were talking about with large population
talking about with large population
talking about with large population densities in this area so the low Feld
densities in this area so the low Feld
densities in this area so the low Feld has per hectare so one hectare is 2.2

you’re gonna show us your back end and
you’re gonna show us your back end and have a little scratch so basically the
have a little scratch so basically the
have a little scratch so basically the reason why our population densities of
reason why our population densities of
reason why our population densities of leopard in this area are higher than
leopard in this area are higher than
leopard in this area are higher than anywhere else in South Africa is because
anywhere else in South Africa is because
anywhere else in South Africa is because the prey species densities are higher
the prey species densities are higher
the prey species densities are higher because of the type of vegetation we

in this area leopards do so well and why
in this area leopards do so well and why the population densities are so much
the population densities are so much
the population densities are so much higher is because there’s an abundance

instance Jamie had that huge male
instance Jamie had that huge male leopard that pulled up that that small
leopard that pulled up that that small
leopard that pulled up that that small giraffe and into a tree so you can have
giraffe and into a tree so you can have
giraffe and into a tree so you can have that I think the biggest thing I’ve ever
that I think the biggest thing I’ve ever
that I think the biggest thing I’ve ever personally seen was a female just a
personally seen was a female just a
personally seen was a female just a little bit bigger than tündi and I
little bit bigger than tündi and I
little bit bigger than tündi and I would guesstimate tündi to be at about
would guesstimate tündi to be at about
would guesstimate tündi to be at about fifty kilograms so about 110 pounds
fifty kilograms so about 110 pounds
fifty kilograms so about 110 pounds roughly right around in there and this
roughly right around in there and this
roughly right around in there and this female was probably just a few kilograms
female was probably just a few kilograms
female was probably just a few kilograms few pounds heavier than that and she
few pounds heavier than that and she
few pounds heavier than that and she killed an 80 kilogram male warthog so
killed an 80 kilogram male warthog so
killed an 80 kilogram male warthog so that’s about a hundred and eighty pounds
that’s about a hundred and eighty pounds
that’s about a hundred and eighty pounds worth and pulled it about nine meters
worth and pulled it about nine meters
worth and pulled it about nine meters straight up a tree so whatever 9 times 3
straight up a tree so whatever 9 times 3
straight up a tree so whatever 9 times 3 is so nine yards let’s say nine yards up
is so nine yards let’s say nine yards up
is so nine yards let’s say nine yards up tree and that was pretty hectic because
tree and that was pretty hectic because

that was a big warthog and it took her
that was a big warthog and it took her forever to to get it down it was a big
forever to to get it down it was a big
forever to to get it down it was a big struggle but then something like that

sort of 95 kilogram male leopard that
sort of 95 kilogram male leopard that Jamie had pulling up that let’s say
Jamie had pulling up that let’s say
Jamie had pulling up that let’s say one hundred hundred and ten kilogram
one hundred hundred and ten kilogram
one hundred hundred and ten kilogram draw if it’s not bigger it would
draw if it’s not bigger it would
