The Cape Fox mother will keep her distance for a while
leaving her youngster to defend
for himself.
As long as Ajax is around,
the pup will have to wait
for his next meal.
As it turns out, there are big events
afoot for the bat-eared foxes.
As the sun begins to set,
the pups are heading out
to forage for themselves.
The whole family sets off together.
For Selene and Ajax,
It's been hard work
caring for the pups,
but they're on the way
to taking care of themselves.
No longer tied to the den,
the pups can explore the landscape.
The pups...
and the family itself
In the Kalahari,
night is the time of the hunter.
And now the bat-eared fox family
can make the most of it.
They'll hunt like this for hours
and there'll be some surprises
along the way.
For the pups, this gecko will offer
another chance to test their skills.
but lizards still present a challenge.
Of course,
Ajax knows exactly what to do.
Flash begs for a bite,
but she must learn to catch her own.
It's time for Ajax to give her a lesson,
he stuns the gecko,
then waits as his daughter
draws near.
She's happy to try a morsel...
now that it's stopped running around.
Not far away the cape fox mother
is also out foraging.
For these accomplished omnivores,
catching a gecko is second nature.
The young cape foxes know just how
Even as pups,
they have the killer instinct.
A night-jar chose the wrong place
to rest.
These ferocious youngsters
will go after anything
from a bird to a baby meerkat.
But on the other side of the river,
the young bat-eared foxes
are still learning.
For Kinky, a scorpion is
definitely a mouthful.
Which end should he grab?
Instinctively, he seems to know
it's not entirely harmless.
But subdued,
a scorpion is a crunchy treat.
Meanwhile,
Adventure's inquisitive streak...
leads him off into the night.
But he's not alone.
The lion is closer than
the foxes realize.
And in an instant,
it's too late.
Selene searches for her youngster,
but he's gone.
For a moment,
at the lion.
But for all his posturing,
there's nothing he can do.
Another young member of his family
has been taken.
The family regroups at their old den,
seeking safety on familiar ground.
For the bat-eared fox family,
times are tough.
They've lost half the litter
only two pups remain.
The rains have passed
and winter comes to the Kalahari.
It's June, and Kinky and Flash
are nearly grown.
The land is dry again.
And food is dwindling.
But there are more than enough
termites around.
Their mounds are everywhere
