doesn't it?
Oh, it looks great. It looks great.
It really does.
I mean how could you
have a better kitchen?
Oh, I tell you.
their camp still intact.
They can begin their work immediately.
The dry season is beginning,
and as grasses on the riverbed
have started to wither,
antelope will disperse
and lions will follow
making it much harder for
Delia and Mark to find them.
I was saying
that after the initial reaction,
But then you look out.
It really looks so bleak. I was just...
We've got to start looking for
lions right away and hyenas.
Yeah, because the lions
are going to be here and gone.
I mean, very quickly.
Yeah.
A last storm sweeps the dry river
and distant shrub-covered dunes.
Dawn brings the zoologists
a welcome sound.
Mark will try to locate
the lion from the air
as Delia pursues him on the ground.
It's amazing that
even year after year
the same lions use the
same trees to lie up in,
and even new lions
that take over from old lions
use the same trees again.
Mark, do you see him?
Negative, love.
Mark searches a tree island
where he knows from previous experience
Kalahari lions are likely to lie up
in the shade for the day.
Did you see him?
It looks thick from the ground,
but up there, I don't know.
I may be wrong
but I think that may be what
the springbok were running from
when we were up there trying
to find him.
I think he came out on the opposite
side of the island... outfoxed us.
We'll have to take another
drive up there.
Tracking the lion takes
them far from camp,
so they spend the night
near their last sighting.
I love this Swiss army knife.
You can't open it unless you split it.
Here, you want me to do it?
Yeah, you open it.
Which one? This one?
That one...
The woman's a genius.
Brute force.
Mark is up before dawn.
He and Delia reason
that male lions in the vicinity
may feel challenged by the sound of
another lion and come to investigate.
I don't believe this.
There's a bloody lion out here.
It's actually worked.
We ought to sit down
and make very little commotion
because he's looking at us.
Yeah, we know we don't want to
frighten him away,
now that he's here.
Yeah, let's just sit down and not move.
Male lions roar to establish claim
to a pride
and sometimes fight to the death
to defend territory.
This lion searches for the intruder.
Now Delia and Mark will try to get
close enough to dart him
and collar him with
a radio transmitter.
Then he can be tracked systematically
social contacts, and prey selection.
The lion has left the river plain.
