We're coming to the point
where he went in,
so we should see his
spoor pretty quickly.
It was up here.
He may still be in there.
Mark has seen him, Mark has seen him.
where we lost him.
I didn't think of it.
We had him all that way.
For half the night
Delia and Mark try to get close enough
to the lion to dart him.
For three days the lion eludes them.
The crust on the sand is
bunched up ahead of the foot.
So the foot was falling quite quickly.
So you can see he was
a little bit concerned about us still.
He's here somewhere.
He's got to be here somewhere.
I wish I could find his spoor.
I just got to keep going.
I think maybe...
If we can get to that clearing
and get set up,
maybe we can attract him into it.
I don't know what good
it will do though.
I mean, he has to come up...
he has to be approachable.
Well, if we get a dart in him,
Yeah.
Frustrated in their pursuit,
they try to attract him
right up to the truck.
Ignoring Delia and Mark,
the lion trots by,
looking for his supposed rival.
Finally he realizes that the roars are
coming from the vehicle.
The lion focuses on Mark.
Head on, he presents an almost
impossible target for a dart shot.
the drug takes effect,
the lion wanders off.
Mark follows his tracks to find him.
When lions are immobilized,
the stop blinking.
Salve keeps their eyes from drying out
We'll have to use a bigger bolt.
Delia and Mark whisper to avoid
upsetting other lions in the area.
Keep your eyes peeled.
We've got company here somewhere.
They're bound to come
over here and have a look.
Yeah, but he's fine.
I'm going to go get the
shotgun out here, Delia.
Okay.
Or you could get the dart gun.
Delia, look at the hyena.
Boy, feel the muscles in his neck.
Tooth eruption and wear help the
Owenses determine a lion's age.
He doesn't look like an old lion.
It will be interesting to compare
this measurement with the one
we took just a second ago.
Look at the size of that paw.
I can put both my hands together
and you can't see them underneath.
Mark, there's a lion right here.
Get to the car.
I'm going to back off.
If she comes in, I'll dart her.
She's probably going to find the male.
I think she has the male's scent.
Knowing that the pride
will soon break up,
Mark darts other lions to keep
track of as many as possible.
Collaring each lion
takes several hours.
Delia and Mark become
giddy with fatigue.
You've been wanting
to hit me in the nose all day.
You finally got here.
Mark, try to act like
a sophisticated scientist!
