reduce their hunting range drastically
and they often become prey themselves.
To survive
they need vast protected
areas like this one.
The sighting left us speechless.
In just a few days,
we've had multiple encounters with
two of the most endangered animals
on the continent.
What an auspicious start
But the day wasn't over yet.
As we are driving away,
I catch a glimpse of a wonderful sight
in my rear view mirror.
Considering the loss of habitat
due to population explosion in Africa
and the hunting by local farmers,
man is unquestionably
the cheetah's biggest threat.
But ironically,
without man's intervention
the species won't make it on its own.
The most graceful cat on our planet
is literally racing for its survival.

Lions normally do not hunt on farmland,

If the villagers find out about it,
these lions are definitely history.
Yeah still eating.
One on the carcass,
and then there is another in the back.
you can smell it from here.
Yeah, but the good thing is
they're not gonna leave their kill
until it's all gone.
I mean this leaves us a day or two
to observe them at close range.
but they are really exposed out here.
Yeah, but I think they know we're OK.
I mean we followed them around
for awhile yesterday afternoon,
and then into the whole of last night.
Where is the third lion?
I think he probably went for a drink.
You know that's all they do really,
eat, drink and then rest.
Now what are these fellows up to?

I mean they should not be
marking their territory.
You see the second lion.
