1
00:00:03,859 --> 00:00:10,320
Africa as you've never seen it before
2
00:00:07,339 --> 00:00:12,769
for the first time a unique camera and
3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:15,480
trained observers reveal a new world
4
00:00:12,769 --> 00:00:18,109
their images may change your view
5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:20,120
forever
6
00:00:18,109 --> 00:00:22,519
this is the picture you're used to
7
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:24,920
seeing a herd of wildebeest on the move
8
00:00:22,519 --> 00:00:30,530
across the vast untamed wilderness of
9
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:32,419
the Serengeti and this the animal
10
00:00:30,530 --> 00:00:34,520
portrayed as the noble king of the
11
00:00:32,418 --> 00:00:37,189
beasts along with his fellow hunting
12
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:45,620
experts supposedly lording it over their
13
00:00:37,189 --> 00:00:48,469
domain while the Laughing hyena normally
14
00:00:45,619 --> 00:00:52,058
gets a bad press as a sneaky scavenger
15
00:00:48,469 --> 00:00:52,058
an ugly coward
16
00:00:54,049 --> 00:00:59,369
usually two humans are kept out of the
17
00:00:56,670 --> 00:01:01,559
shot yet the presence of the Masai and
18
00:00:59,369 --> 00:01:05,448
of their cattle affects the whole
19
00:01:01,558 --> 00:01:05,448
balance of nature in this area
20
00:01:07,228 --> 00:01:13,868
now the most sensitive low-light camera
21
00:01:10,060 --> 00:01:19,259
in the world shows you truer images need
22
00:01:13,868 --> 00:01:21,819
a little bit value then re na nanana
23
00:01:19,259 --> 00:01:24,640
well the mass I enjoyed the warmth of
24
00:01:21,819 --> 00:01:32,559
their Hut outside the electronic eye at
25
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:35,409
last turns night in today in the
26
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:38,640
pitch-black unexpected scenes challenge
27
00:01:35,409 --> 00:01:38,640
conventional expectations
28
00:02:04,530 --> 00:02:10,090
the Serengeti is a complex system of
29
00:02:07,478 --> 00:02:12,310
natural relationships home to half a
30
00:02:10,090 --> 00:02:14,379
million Thomson's gazelle a quarter of a
31
00:02:12,310 --> 00:02:21,430
million zebra and more than a million
32
00:02:14,379 --> 00:02:23,680
fill the beast the ville de beasts are
33
00:02:21,430 --> 00:02:25,599
the stars of the spectacular migrations
34
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:28,379
as they follow the rains to lush
35
00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:30,840
grasslands
36
00:02:28,379 --> 00:02:34,400
this is the greatest concentration of
37
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,400
game in all Africa
38
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:45,520
their numbers attract the top predators
39
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:48,400
3000 Lions in numerous prides but by day
40
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:50,710
contrary to what most films show the big
41
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:53,200
cats are not a serious threat to the
42
00:02:50,710 --> 00:02:58,960
herds good eyesight and safety in
43
00:02:53,199 --> 00:02:59,469
numbers protect the ville de beast this
44
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:03,040
lion
45
00:02:59,469 --> 00:03:04,990
certainly acts like a natural killer by
46
00:03:03,039 --> 00:03:14,530
contrast the hyenas are just hanging
47
00:03:04,990 --> 00:03:17,200
about in fact he didn't make the kill he
48
00:03:14,530 --> 00:03:19,599
stole it from more skillful hunters the
49
00:03:17,199 --> 00:03:23,560
blood on their faces proves just who did
50
00:03:19,599 --> 00:03:27,479
make the kill all too often hyenas have
51
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:30,520
war trade as light-fingered late comers
52
00:03:27,479 --> 00:03:36,339
yet while the hyenas were feeding the
53
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:40,030
Prince of Phoenix help this is the bit
54
00:03:36,340 --> 00:03:45,849
most wildlife films leave out lions
55
00:03:40,030 --> 00:03:48,009
pinch the hyenas prey far from
56
00:03:45,849 --> 00:03:56,349
scavenging for a living nine times out
57
00:03:48,009 --> 00:03:58,780
of ten hyenas make the kill at first
58
00:03:56,349 --> 00:04:01,509
sight the lion in a hyena are locked in
59
00:03:58,780 --> 00:04:04,539
a struggle for the same prey how can the
60
00:04:01,509 --> 00:04:07,329
hyenas make a living here at all until
61
00:04:04,539 --> 00:04:11,259
now the only images come from filming by
62
00:04:07,330 --> 00:04:14,260
day but lions and hyenas hunt most of
63
00:04:11,259 --> 00:04:16,689
their food in the dark the balance of
64
00:04:14,259 --> 00:04:19,048
power is about to shift for everyone
65
00:04:16,689 --> 00:04:19,048
here
66
00:04:27,620 --> 00:04:34,139
serengeti straddles the border between
67
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:36,149
Kenya and Tanzania but the Serengeti
68
00:04:34,139 --> 00:04:38,250
plains stretch far beyond the park
69
00:04:36,149 --> 00:04:44,009
boundaries and to the east live the
70
00:04:38,250 --> 00:04:45,990
Masai with their cattle at dusk they
71
00:04:44,009 --> 00:04:49,399
retire with their herds to the safety of
72
00:04:45,990 --> 00:04:49,400
their villages or Burma's
73
00:04:55,759 --> 00:05:01,899
a wall of thorns keeps thieves in
74
00:04:59,060 --> 00:05:04,730
attackers away from their cattle and has
75
00:05:01,899 --> 00:05:07,899
the mass I rarely venture out at night
76
00:05:04,730 --> 00:05:07,900
except in force
77
00:05:26,668 --> 00:05:32,500
empty by day the grating land suddenly
78
00:05:29,829 --> 00:05:35,978
looks rather full and these cats are not
79
00:05:32,500 --> 00:05:38,519
here for a nap this is the only camera
80
00:05:35,978 --> 00:05:40,718
capable of recording what now happens
81
00:05:38,519 --> 00:05:44,339
technology also allows researchers to
82
00:05:40,718 --> 00:05:44,339
make a call to the animals themselves
83
00:05:47,250 --> 00:05:53,110
Tom Maddox is counting predators in the
84
00:05:50,139 --> 00:05:55,658
Serengeti he too thought the mass island
85
00:05:53,110 --> 00:05:58,569
was empty of lions and hyenas as they're
86
00:05:55,658 --> 00:06:00,848
never seen by day but Tom soon got a
87
00:05:58,569 --> 00:06:02,860
shock now he prefers to make his
88
00:06:00,848 --> 00:06:10,028
observations from the safety of his Land
89
00:06:02,860 --> 00:06:12,639
Rover we use this technique that we call
90
00:06:10,028 --> 00:06:15,129
callings and we basically have a tape of
91
00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:16,269
highness on a wildebeest Hill and when
92
00:06:15,129 --> 00:06:17,560
hyenas wanna kill they make this
93
00:06:16,269 --> 00:06:19,959
whooping noises and these fighting
94
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,339
noises there's also a lion on the tape
95
00:06:19,959 --> 00:06:23,378
and it's fighting with the hyenas and
96
00:06:21,339 --> 00:06:26,019
there's all this big commotion over this
97
00:06:23,379 --> 00:06:29,110
kill and we play this tape on speakers
98
00:06:26,019 --> 00:06:31,149
on top of the car and because lions and
99
00:06:29,110 --> 00:06:33,490
hyenas both allowing scavenging quite a
100
00:06:31,149 --> 00:06:35,258
lot in my diet when they hear this tape
101
00:06:33,490 --> 00:06:36,728
a lot of them will come in and they'll
102
00:06:35,259 --> 00:06:38,490
investigate it thinking they're going to
103
00:06:36,728 --> 00:06:41,168
get a free meal
104
00:06:38,490 --> 00:06:43,060
it was amazing where they come from they
105
00:06:41,168 --> 00:06:45,338
just kind of melt out from the bushes in
106
00:06:43,060 --> 00:06:46,870
places you'd never have imagined a lion
107
00:06:45,338 --> 00:06:48,490
could have hidden often quite close to
108
00:06:46,870 --> 00:06:49,360
where I was doing the calling and then
109
00:06:48,490 --> 00:06:51,218
it was equally amazing
110
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,588
once the calling is over once they
111
00:06:51,218 --> 00:06:55,538
decide to go back undercover usually
112
00:06:53,588 --> 00:06:56,759
about the time that the Masai started to
113
00:06:55,538 --> 00:06:59,228
go after the bomas around 7 o'clock
114
00:06:56,759 --> 00:07:01,060
again the Lions will melt straight back
115
00:06:59,228 --> 00:07:02,800
into the bushes woman at the lines there
116
00:07:01,060 --> 00:07:04,209
next minute it's gone completely and I
117
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:07,460
know it must be sitting there somewhere
118
00:07:04,209 --> 00:07:10,339
and they're so hard to find again
119
00:07:07,459 --> 00:07:14,680
the ultra sensitive camera is many times
120
00:07:10,339 --> 00:07:14,679
more powerful and Tom's military scope
121
00:07:17,348 --> 00:07:21,618
inside the zone getting you can drive
122
00:07:19,459 --> 00:07:22,848
around and you can see painters and
123
00:07:21,619 --> 00:07:25,459
lines that they're very obvious
124
00:07:22,848 --> 00:07:27,829
throughout the day outside the National
125
00:07:25,459 --> 00:07:31,119
Park that doesn't happen you can drive
126
00:07:27,829 --> 00:07:33,948
around for days and days and not see any
127
00:07:31,119 --> 00:07:36,949
the fact that there are any lines at all
128
00:07:33,949 --> 00:07:39,770
on the MER sized land is surprising so
129
00:07:36,949 --> 00:07:42,259
far I'm finding an extremely high number
130
00:07:39,769 --> 00:07:43,788
of lines outside the park in fact it's
131
00:07:42,259 --> 00:07:45,559
comparable to certain areas within the
132
00:07:43,788 --> 00:07:47,300
park so lines are actually doing
133
00:07:45,559 --> 00:07:50,029
extremely well in an area where people
134
00:07:47,300 --> 00:07:52,129
are living and working and grazing their
135
00:07:50,028 --> 00:07:58,368
cattle which to me was extremely
136
00:07:52,129 --> 00:08:01,099
surprising hyenas are also extremely
137
00:07:58,369 --> 00:08:03,349
common compared to inside the park there
138
00:08:01,098 --> 00:08:05,360
were fewer but there are still a sizable
139
00:08:03,348 --> 00:08:06,378
number thriving outside the park and you
140
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,939
will actually see them when you drive
141
00:08:06,379 --> 00:08:10,509
around in the evening the hyenas are
142
00:08:07,939 --> 00:08:13,729
usually pretty visible
143
00:08:10,509 --> 00:08:20,028
no wonder the Masai report meeting wild
144
00:08:13,728 --> 00:08:22,418
animals frequently even by day another
145
00:08:20,028 --> 00:08:25,009
worker on the night shift is Paula white
146
00:08:22,418 --> 00:08:27,528
she's interested in studying hyenas in
147
00:08:25,009 --> 00:08:29,449
this different world to learn how they
148
00:08:27,528 --> 00:08:32,899
and the Lions carve up each other's
149
00:08:29,449 --> 00:08:35,438
catches and like her quarry she follows
150
00:08:32,899 --> 00:08:35,438
her ears
151
00:08:38,110 --> 00:08:42,580
I'm going out to see if I can find some
152
00:08:39,759 --> 00:08:44,139
pana kills take a look at how many fair
153
00:08:42,580 --> 00:08:46,639
members around the deal whether another
154
00:08:44,139 --> 00:08:48,590
many clashes going on
155
00:08:46,639 --> 00:08:49,850
I'll also be looking for laying hyena
156
00:08:48,590 --> 00:08:53,710
interactions because I'm really
157
00:08:49,850 --> 00:08:53,710
interested in and how the
158
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:58,100
in Iraq down here with all the game
159
00:08:55,639 --> 00:08:59,750
present whether or not they still more
160
00:08:58,100 --> 00:09:01,610
likely to steal each other's kills or
161
00:08:59,750 --> 00:09:04,840
whether they're more likely to go after
162
00:09:01,610 --> 00:09:04,840
a new
163
00:09:05,049 --> 00:09:08,899
so what I'd be doing is driving the
164
00:09:07,460 --> 00:09:11,030
roads looking for action and then I'd
165
00:09:08,899 --> 00:09:13,209
stop once in a while and listen for
166
00:09:11,029 --> 00:09:13,209
sounds
167
00:09:14,379 --> 00:09:19,269
sounds travel much further in the cool
168
00:09:16,940 --> 00:09:19,270
night air
169
00:09:20,429 --> 00:09:26,539
on a still night hyenas can hear woopa
170
00:09:23,129 --> 00:09:26,539
over 10 kilometers away
171
00:09:30,460 --> 00:09:35,290
I think lions too are attracted to that
172
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:37,540
sound and a number of other groans and
173
00:09:35,289 --> 00:09:44,860
squeals that usually accompany a hyena
174
00:09:37,539 --> 00:09:46,329
kelex are really exciting see there's a
175
00:09:44,860 --> 00:09:49,029
hyena running in front of me on the road
176
00:09:46,330 --> 00:09:50,590
right now and the way he's running I
177
00:09:49,029 --> 00:09:55,360
imagine he's going for a kill so I'm
178
00:09:50,590 --> 00:09:57,610
gonna stop and listen what Poehler and
179
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,769
Tamas seeing leads them to rethink the
180
00:09:57,610 --> 00:10:11,139
conventional ideas about hyenas and
181
00:09:59,769 --> 00:10:13,480
lions at night and day the Serengeti is
182
00:10:11,139 --> 00:10:16,120
two top predators both on zebra
183
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,710
wildebeest and gazelle it's a mystery
184
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:20,440
how they survive when they appear to
185
00:10:17,710 --> 00:10:22,690
compete for the same prey usually in
186
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,700
nature to competitors carved share the
187
00:10:22,690 --> 00:10:27,540
same food supplied there simply isn't
188
00:10:24,700 --> 00:10:27,540
enough for the road
189
00:10:28,379 --> 00:10:33,689
yet they both thrive and although lions
190
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:39,390
and hyenas share the same diet the two
191
00:10:33,690 --> 00:10:40,860
animals are very different the one thing
192
00:10:39,389 --> 00:10:43,100
they have in common is that their
193
00:10:40,860 --> 00:10:46,289
societies revolve around the females
194
00:10:43,100 --> 00:10:48,570
among cats lions are unique in the way
195
00:10:46,289 --> 00:10:52,250
they live together most cats are
196
00:10:48,570 --> 00:10:55,340
solitary lions form small groups prides
197
00:10:52,250 --> 00:11:01,049
at the heart of each pride are relations
198
00:10:55,340 --> 00:11:05,389
sisters cousins and adults strange
199
00:11:01,049 --> 00:11:05,389
lionesses in their cubs will be attacked
200
00:11:15,529 --> 00:11:21,419
they cooperate to raise Cubs lionesses
201
00:11:19,529 --> 00:11:23,839
will even suckle Cubs of other pride
202
00:11:21,419 --> 00:11:23,839
members
203
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:31,860
in a lion pride any female leader will
204
00:11:29,820 --> 00:11:36,080
have earned her place and like hyenas
205
00:11:31,860 --> 00:11:36,080
where leadership is largely inherited
206
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:58,820
at times the males are absent at others
207
00:11:45,080 --> 00:12:01,940
they hang out with the females at times
208
00:11:58,820 --> 00:12:10,129
they're peaceable even tender at others
209
00:12:01,940 --> 00:12:12,230
aggressive to all in spite of their
210
00:12:10,129 --> 00:12:13,129
smaller size lioness is not only
211
00:12:12,230 --> 00:12:16,990
retaliate
212
00:12:13,129 --> 00:12:16,990
they may even pick fights with the males
213
00:12:21,730 --> 00:12:27,230
however male lions are physically more
214
00:12:24,830 --> 00:12:31,180
powerful in a test of strength over a
215
00:12:27,230 --> 00:12:31,180
kill the female will come off worse
216
00:12:43,889 --> 00:12:49,539
spotted hyenas live in large clouds
217
00:12:46,570 --> 00:12:51,660
averaging 50 or more members but the
218
00:12:49,539 --> 00:12:53,919
whole clan is not always together
219
00:12:51,659 --> 00:12:56,259
individuals and small hunting groups
220
00:12:53,919 --> 00:13:06,490
spread out over the plains in a living
221
00:12:56,259 --> 00:13:09,879
net in the Serengeti hyenas usually make
222
00:13:06,490 --> 00:13:11,919
dens in abandoned burrows here the Cubs
223
00:13:09,879 --> 00:13:16,629
are easily hidden from lions and other
224
00:13:11,919 --> 00:13:29,199
predators litters are small only one or
225
00:13:16,629 --> 00:13:32,259
two hyena society is maintained by the
226
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:34,570
rank that each animal inherits if mom is
227
00:13:32,259 --> 00:13:36,819
high-ranking they'll be high-ranking to
228
00:13:34,570 --> 00:13:41,050
provided they've inherited her strength
229
00:13:36,820 --> 00:13:42,820
as well females may fight females but
230
00:13:41,049 --> 00:13:45,009
males hardly ever fight amongst
231
00:13:42,820 --> 00:13:52,060
themselves and certainly wouldn't dare
232
00:13:45,009 --> 00:13:54,519
attack a female clan life is ruled by
233
00:13:52,059 --> 00:13:57,329
the females who are almost a quarter
234
00:13:54,519 --> 00:13:57,329
bigger than the males
235
00:14:04,289 --> 00:14:09,339
the Cubs fight in their first days of
236
00:14:07,059 --> 00:14:11,259
life but once they know that place
237
00:14:09,340 --> 00:14:14,280
they're far more likely to play together
238
00:14:11,259 --> 00:14:14,279
than to scratch
239
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:23,320
the male's can behave as best friends
240
00:14:21,669 --> 00:14:29,159
even if they're members of different
241
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:29,160
clans hyenas behavior is highly complex
242
00:14:42,279 --> 00:14:47,529
from weaning to fighting much of what
243
00:14:44,980 --> 00:14:52,629
hyenas do still remains to be studied by
244
00:14:47,529 --> 00:14:54,819
scientists nonetheless the most marked
245
00:14:52,629 --> 00:14:58,419
difference between hyenas and lions is
246
00:14:54,820 --> 00:14:58,870
in how they hunt all animals built for
247
00:14:58,419 --> 00:15:01,779
the kill
248
00:14:58,870 --> 00:15:05,549
hunt in the same basic sequence they
249
00:15:01,779 --> 00:15:08,230
begin by finding their victims
250
00:15:05,549 --> 00:15:14,169
next they single out a target by
251
00:15:08,230 --> 00:15:17,379
scanning the herd later will come the
252
00:15:14,169 --> 00:15:24,789
approach then the contact finally the
253
00:15:17,379 --> 00:15:31,480
meal how they hunt differs sharply
254
00:15:24,789 --> 00:15:34,089
between hyena and lion the hyenas get as
255
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:36,720
close as 20 meters in full view of their
256
00:15:34,090 --> 00:15:39,280
prey before the herd wheels and flees
257
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:45,460
the Hina's will try to scatter the ville
258
00:15:39,279 --> 00:15:46,750
de Beast before singling one out the MER
259
00:15:45,460 --> 00:15:48,790
cycle the hyenas
260
00:15:46,750 --> 00:15:51,720
doctors but as they can recognize the
261
00:15:48,789 --> 00:15:51,719
sick and the weak
262
00:16:01,019 --> 00:16:07,360
they run down their prey like wolves
263
00:16:04,169 --> 00:16:11,610
hyenas are endurance hunters chases can
264
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:11,610
last up to five kilometres at full speed
265
00:16:14,159 --> 00:16:22,689
lions can't sustain this they are
266
00:16:17,049 --> 00:16:24,819
sprinters after the rainy season much of
267
00:16:22,690 --> 00:16:28,090
the Serengeti National Park is a sea of
268
00:16:24,820 --> 00:16:30,879
long grass the Lions use it to mask
269
00:16:28,090 --> 00:16:33,129
their presence they approach unseen by
270
00:16:30,879 --> 00:16:35,820
careful stalking or occasionally by
271
00:16:33,129 --> 00:16:35,820
lying in ambush
272
00:16:38,490 --> 00:16:40,549
ah
273
00:16:41,980 --> 00:16:47,250
outside the park where the Masai graze
274
00:16:44,710 --> 00:16:51,810
their cattle the grass is shorter any
275
00:16:47,250 --> 00:16:55,299
predator risks a confrontation and hurt
276
00:16:51,809 --> 00:16:58,569
the Lions sticks out not much chance of
277
00:16:55,299 --> 00:17:05,500
an ambush here hunting and the cover of
278
00:16:58,570 --> 00:17:08,140
night makes more sense as the Sun Goes
279
00:17:05,500 --> 00:17:13,000
Down life gets easier for the Serengeti
280
00:17:08,140 --> 00:17:15,730
predators dusk diminishes to near
281
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,710
complete darkness which can continue all
282
00:17:15,730 --> 00:17:23,829
night if there are storm clouds or if
283
00:17:17,710 --> 00:17:25,750
it's a moonless night the only camera on
284
00:17:23,829 --> 00:17:28,210
the planet powerful enough to see in
285
00:17:25,750 --> 00:17:31,829
total blackness even picks up stars
286
00:17:28,210 --> 00:17:31,829
invisible to human eyes
287
00:17:36,529 --> 00:17:42,450
suddenly the landscape is illuminated as
288
00:17:39,329 --> 00:17:45,269
if by searchlight even so humans can
289
00:17:42,450 --> 00:17:49,220
still only just pick out shapes but to
290
00:17:45,269 --> 00:17:49,220
the grazing animals it's as clear as day
291
00:17:57,980 --> 00:18:04,759
the camera revealed crouching Lions
292
00:18:00,869 --> 00:18:04,759
invisible to the naked human eye
293
00:18:06,909 --> 00:18:20,528
a night ambush could prove more
294
00:18:18,009 --> 00:18:22,569
successful these two lionesses have
295
00:18:20,528 --> 00:18:30,489
detected a herd of wildebeest crossing a
296
00:18:22,569 --> 00:18:32,229
track when the moon is up the Lions are
297
00:18:30,489 --> 00:18:35,528
limited to the techniques they use by
298
00:18:32,229 --> 00:18:38,580
day stalking and ambushing but it won't
299
00:18:35,528 --> 00:18:38,579
always be so right
300
00:18:46,930 --> 00:18:50,320
the pair near the crossing plant and
301
00:18:49,299 --> 00:18:53,619
squat down
302
00:18:50,319 --> 00:19:10,029
well screened by vegetation one crawls
303
00:18:53,619 --> 00:19:13,409
into position to jump a victim a quick -
304
00:19:10,029 --> 00:19:13,410
and it's soon over
305
00:19:17,670 --> 00:19:22,360
although these lionesses have been
306
00:19:19,930 --> 00:19:25,420
successful the moonlit night is really
307
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:27,399
the best time for hyenas - and the cool
308
00:19:25,420 --> 00:19:30,100
of the night air allows them to keep on
309
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:32,820
running something the easily tired lions
310
00:19:30,099 --> 00:19:32,819
cannot do
311
00:19:57,648 --> 00:20:02,128
hyenas behavior at night is something
312
00:20:00,269 --> 00:20:07,769
scientists are increasingly able to
313
00:20:02,128 --> 00:20:09,868
observe the results I think I can hear a
314
00:20:07,769 --> 00:20:11,429
kill off in the distance so I'm going to
315
00:20:09,868 --> 00:20:25,769
go in that direction it sounds like
316
00:20:11,429 --> 00:20:28,320
there's lions coming in as well polar
317
00:20:25,769 --> 00:20:30,419
white night-vision goggles work because
318
00:20:28,319 --> 00:20:34,338
they and the camera see in the special
319
00:20:30,419 --> 00:20:34,339
infrared headlights of her land Rove
320
00:20:36,028 --> 00:20:39,808
I think the ability to use this sort of
321
00:20:38,190 --> 00:20:42,869
invisible light to observe animals
322
00:20:39,808 --> 00:20:46,079
nocturnal animals in their natural
323
00:20:42,868 --> 00:20:49,759
environment is is really quite a
324
00:20:46,079 --> 00:20:52,168
breakthrough for research certainly I
325
00:20:49,759 --> 00:20:53,878
didn't begin to see the full range of
326
00:20:52,169 --> 00:20:56,309
hyena behaviors instilling until I
327
00:20:53,878 --> 00:20:58,189
started coming out at night and using
328
00:20:56,308 --> 00:21:00,569
the certain special equipment
329
00:20:58,190 --> 00:21:03,119
it was very frustrating to me otherwise
330
00:21:00,569 --> 00:21:07,439
because as dusk was falling and my own
331
00:21:03,118 --> 00:21:09,298
ability to to observe them was no ending
332
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,919
I knew that the hyenas were just
333
00:21:09,298 --> 00:21:13,668
beginning to wake up and just beginning
334
00:21:10,919 --> 00:21:17,369
to you know start their day as it were
335
00:21:13,669 --> 00:21:20,489
but I was left out of it so now as I'm
336
00:21:17,368 --> 00:21:22,348
able to follow them and observe them I'm
337
00:21:20,489 --> 00:21:24,889
seeing things that I've never been able
338
00:21:22,348 --> 00:21:24,888
to see before
339
00:21:25,170 --> 00:21:31,509
now Paula can see in the dark but it's
340
00:21:28,420 --> 00:21:33,190
her hearing that guides her you often
341
00:21:31,509 --> 00:21:34,750
hear hyenas whooping at night and that
342
00:21:33,190 --> 00:21:36,730
can be any number of things they're
343
00:21:34,750 --> 00:21:38,640
advertising their own location they're
344
00:21:36,730 --> 00:21:40,809
trying to find clan other clan members
345
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,759
but the one sound that you really
346
00:21:40,809 --> 00:21:45,159
associate with a kill is a giggle and
347
00:21:42,759 --> 00:21:47,799
actually definitely where the term
348
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:50,500
laughing hang it came from but that's
349
00:21:47,799 --> 00:21:52,990
the sound I really associate with kills
350
00:21:50,500 --> 00:21:55,299
and the thing that other hyenas and
351
00:21:52,990 --> 00:21:57,490
lions hone in on as well so really
352
00:21:55,299 --> 00:21:59,409
driving around like this at night using
353
00:21:57,490 --> 00:22:02,049
this enhanced vision and listening for
354
00:21:59,410 --> 00:22:03,400
kills up I'm behaving very much like a
355
00:22:02,049 --> 00:22:07,289
hyena and then there's one right now I
356
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:07,290
can see it going through the grassland
357
00:22:13,638 --> 00:22:19,048
hyenas jaws are among the most powerful
358
00:22:15,990 --> 00:22:21,659
of any animal species the sharp front
359
00:22:19,048 --> 00:22:24,720
teeth shear through skin and meat their
360
00:22:21,659 --> 00:22:26,669
jaw muscles are as big as a man's arm at
361
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,740
the back of the hyenas mouth huge
362
00:22:26,669 --> 00:22:32,278
crushing teeth are strong enough to
363
00:22:28,740 --> 00:22:34,980
crunch up solid bone yet it's a
364
00:22:32,278 --> 00:22:36,990
remarkably peaceful scene male hyenas
365
00:22:34,980 --> 00:22:49,019
are nature's gentlemen when it comes to
366
00:22:36,990 --> 00:22:51,599
sharing a kill with their clan although
367
00:22:49,019 --> 00:22:53,579
the hyenas gulped down their meal Lions
368
00:22:51,599 --> 00:22:56,119
arrive in time to take the food from
369
00:22:53,579 --> 00:22:56,119
their mouths
370
00:23:34,250 --> 00:23:40,369
the camera unveils a night world full of
371
00:23:37,069 --> 00:23:41,990
animal life just how close these animals
372
00:23:40,369 --> 00:23:44,558
come to humans astonishes the
373
00:23:41,990 --> 00:23:44,558
researchers
374
00:23:45,769 --> 00:23:53,359
I found a cheater quite late in the
375
00:23:51,380 --> 00:23:55,280
evening sometimes the the male cheaters
376
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:57,169
will stay active quite a long time into
377
00:23:55,279 --> 00:23:59,420
the night and so I was following him it
378
00:23:57,170 --> 00:24:01,070
went past dark it was about half past 7
379
00:23:59,420 --> 00:24:02,330
8 o'clock in the evening and he was
380
00:24:01,069 --> 00:24:04,399
walking straight up the road straight
381
00:24:02,329 --> 00:24:05,659
towards a masai village and I thought
382
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,340
this was going to be fantastic I was
383
00:24:05,660 --> 00:24:10,759
going to see how close cheaters would
384
00:24:07,339 --> 00:24:13,039
get to masai villages and suddenly went
385
00:24:10,759 --> 00:24:14,329
leaping off the road and onto the road
386
00:24:13,039 --> 00:24:16,639
stepped faultlines
387
00:24:14,329 --> 00:24:19,549
I then carried on following them instead
388
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:21,440
and they went almost within sight of the
389
00:24:19,549 --> 00:24:23,710
village the village was just over the
390
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,710
next hill
391
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:29,719
Lions will even break into Maasai
392
00:24:27,859 --> 00:24:35,029
villages in an attempt to reach the
393
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:38,150
cattle inside the Messiah mount a
394
00:24:35,029 --> 00:24:42,168
defense but it's dangerous the balance
395
00:24:38,150 --> 00:24:52,788
of power has switched the nocturnal
396
00:24:42,169 --> 00:24:58,820
hunters are in their element there are
397
00:24:52,788 --> 00:25:01,099
burglars about the guard dog is aware of
398
00:24:58,819 --> 00:25:04,298
the hyena but the Masai will register
399
00:25:01,099 --> 00:25:04,298
its shape only dimly
400
00:25:08,859 --> 00:25:13,889
the men must rely on tracks to point
401
00:25:11,169 --> 00:25:13,890
them in the right direction
402
00:25:20,940 --> 00:25:23,000
you
403
00:25:30,029 --> 00:25:35,529
during the attack a cow was killed and
404
00:25:33,009 --> 00:25:37,869
dragged off the following morning the
405
00:25:35,529 --> 00:25:39,839
mass I inspect the corpse they can
406
00:25:37,869 --> 00:25:42,549
easily identify the cause of death
407
00:25:39,839 --> 00:25:53,019
ringing the neck a distinctive punctures
408
00:25:42,549 --> 00:25:55,779
the suffocating bite of a lion the
409
00:25:53,019 --> 00:25:59,139
culprit also mauled a warrior the wounds
410
00:25:55,779 --> 00:26:00,789
could quickly become infected the tribal
411
00:25:59,140 --> 00:26:05,050
doctor cleans the site thoroughly
412
00:26:00,789 --> 00:26:09,149
without anaesthetic the Maasai prized
413
00:26:05,049 --> 00:26:09,149
suffering without complaint above all
414
00:26:22,279 --> 00:26:27,250
the Lyons assault will trigger a deadly
415
00:26:24,740 --> 00:26:27,250
search
416
00:26:33,049 --> 00:26:38,970
Masai warriors respond to the alarm
417
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:40,380
the young unmarried man gathered this is
418
00:26:38,970 --> 00:26:42,589
what they've been training for four
419
00:26:40,380 --> 00:26:42,590
years
420
00:26:47,630 --> 00:26:52,800
it's the supreme test of their stamina
421
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:56,690
and self-control and a test of our
422
00:26:52,799 --> 00:26:56,690
ability to bear power without flinching
423
00:26:56,900 --> 00:27:05,100
this is what they've been waiting for
424
00:26:59,279 --> 00:27:07,379
for just such a chase success will give
425
00:27:05,099 --> 00:27:12,839
them a passport to adulthood the chance
426
00:27:07,380 --> 00:27:18,600
to find a good life failure will mark
427
00:27:12,839 --> 00:27:20,639
them for the rest of their lives but
428
00:27:18,599 --> 00:27:26,069
before they can take part they need to
429
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:30,259
demonstrate their fitness the elders
430
00:27:26,069 --> 00:27:30,259
will decide who will and won't go
431
00:27:46,730 --> 00:27:51,720
the warrior group arrives at the
432
00:27:49,140 --> 00:27:54,900
settlement where the cow was taken each
433
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:56,519
warrior wields a long bladed spear they
434
00:27:54,900 --> 00:27:59,580
are also armed with short double-edged
435
00:27:56,519 --> 00:28:01,039
sword and lethal clubs they're all
436
00:27:59,579 --> 00:28:05,129
experts in the use of these weapons
437
00:28:01,039 --> 00:28:07,230
against animals as well as people in
438
00:28:05,130 --> 00:28:09,450
many areas the Warriors and our clothes
439
00:28:07,230 --> 00:28:12,720
but in this part of the Serengeti their
440
00:28:09,450 --> 00:28:15,509
ceremonies are tolerated lion hunting by
441
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:17,160
the Maasai is illegal but these Warriors
442
00:28:15,509 --> 00:28:21,059
are so far from the towns they are
443
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:23,160
generally allowed to continue a day of
444
00:28:21,059 --> 00:28:26,159
ritual begins with chanting and dancing
445
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:30,080
to hypnotic rhythms warriors demonstrate
446
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:30,080
their strength and agility by leaping
447
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:44,130
fueled by intoxicating herbal drinks
448
00:28:40,839 --> 00:28:44,129
they danced into the night
449
00:28:49,888 --> 00:28:56,248
more warriors arrived from further
450
00:28:51,690 --> 00:29:23,278
afield eager to be selected everyone is
451
00:28:56,249 --> 00:29:25,440
in a frenzy of anticipation on a limb
452
00:29:23,278 --> 00:29:28,169
because a village elder addresses the
453
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:30,570
Warriors he Sobers them by reminding
454
00:29:28,169 --> 00:29:32,609
them of the dangers ahead he tells them
455
00:29:30,569 --> 00:29:34,428
to work together to trust each other and
456
00:29:32,608 --> 00:29:37,918
to return safely
457
00:29:34,429 --> 00:29:40,669
then he urges them to enjoy the party it
458
00:29:37,919 --> 00:29:40,669
could be their last
459
00:29:53,170 --> 00:29:55,860
Wow
460
00:30:10,259 --> 00:30:17,299
in the morning two hunts unfold far
461
00:30:13,140 --> 00:30:20,250
apart a lone lioness spies out to water
462
00:30:17,299 --> 00:30:23,839
animal or human hunters face mortal
463
00:30:20,250 --> 00:30:23,839
danger in the coming hours
464
00:30:33,130 --> 00:30:37,990
four lions daytime hunts are the most
465
00:30:35,470 --> 00:30:40,089
difficult for filmmakers this is when
466
00:30:37,990 --> 00:30:42,759
it's easiest to film so this is the
467
00:30:40,089 --> 00:30:44,859
image that's so often repeated prey
468
00:30:42,759 --> 00:30:47,069
unaware of the lioness hidden in the
469
00:30:44,859 --> 00:30:47,069
grass
470
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:04,060
the hunters head for the place where a
471
00:31:01,089 --> 00:31:07,139
lioness was seen recently the one they
472
00:31:04,059 --> 00:31:07,139
believe killed the cow
473
00:31:16,359 --> 00:31:20,740
the herds are busy drinking
474
00:31:34,409 --> 00:31:41,270
zebras have keen sight they're bulging
475
00:31:37,079 --> 00:31:41,269
eyes give a wide-angle view of danger
476
00:31:44,929 --> 00:31:50,400
Lions hate and fear aside the bells
477
00:31:48,450 --> 00:31:53,730
around the Warriors ankles make it clear
478
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:56,159
to any lions they're coming the Lions on
479
00:31:53,730 --> 00:31:58,710
mass island will always hide indeed come
480
00:31:56,159 --> 00:32:01,409
the Warriors must flush the beasts out
481
00:31:58,710 --> 00:32:03,450
into the open then they have a chance to
482
00:32:01,409 --> 00:32:11,390
tire it out before they come in with
483
00:32:03,450 --> 00:32:11,390
their spears the lioness edges closer
484
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:20,690
the Warriors search may last all they're
485
00:32:16,710 --> 00:32:20,690
covering up to 40 kilometers
486
00:32:22,779 --> 00:32:28,269
the lionesses prey is within 30 meters
487
00:34:17,980 --> 00:34:22,139
I know
488
00:34:31,099 --> 00:34:36,719
they think it's all over the Warriors
489
00:34:34,918 --> 00:34:39,449
head back empty-handed
490
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:49,079
the lioness returns to collect the cub
491
00:34:39,449 --> 00:34:52,049
she left earlier she hid it in long
492
00:34:49,079 --> 00:34:54,259
grass nearby but the chaos of her hunt
493
00:34:52,050 --> 00:34:57,330
has attracted members of another pride
494
00:34:54,260 --> 00:35:05,190
this is their patch and they'll defend
495
00:34:57,329 --> 00:35:09,230
it the mother calls to the youngster to
496
00:35:05,190 --> 00:35:09,230
other lionesses reach the cub first
497
00:35:09,739 --> 00:35:15,709
they won't tolerate another females
498
00:35:12,150 --> 00:35:15,710
offspring they'll eliminate
499
00:35:39,829 --> 00:35:48,139
this is not about hunger the corpse is
500
00:35:42,710 --> 00:35:50,659
left to the vultures and hyenas the
501
00:35:48,139 --> 00:35:51,559
mother's life too is under threat she's
502
00:35:50,659 --> 00:35:55,509
no relation
503
00:35:51,559 --> 00:35:55,509
the pride will kill her she stays
504
00:36:05,219 --> 00:36:09,838
I've numbered without a territory of her
505
00:36:07,530 --> 00:36:13,950
own she heads yet further away from the
506
00:36:09,838 --> 00:36:19,710
park when Lions roam there at risk and
507
00:36:13,949 --> 00:36:24,078
so are their pursuers what you're about
508
00:36:19,710 --> 00:36:24,079
to see has never been shown before a
509
00:36:24,559 --> 00:36:44,750
tourists camera videos the end of a hunt
510
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:55,439
a lion is cornered there seems nowhere a
511
00:36:44,750 --> 00:37:00,469
warrior throws a spear the tables are
512
00:36:55,440 --> 00:37:03,630
truly turned teeth and claws strike home
513
00:37:00,469 --> 00:37:06,118
the wounded warrior continues believing
514
00:37:03,630 --> 00:37:07,980
the lioness chose him as the weakest to
515
00:37:06,119 --> 00:37:09,019
overcome his shame he needs to finish
516
00:37:07,980 --> 00:37:11,880
her off
517
00:37:09,019 --> 00:37:16,039
but even warrior pride cannot prevent
518
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:16,039
the injured man collapsing into shock
519
00:37:19,250 --> 00:37:25,989
meanwhile the lioness dies of her wounds
520
00:37:22,300 --> 00:37:29,750
she's wearing a radio collar a park lion
521
00:37:25,989 --> 00:37:32,389
two different worlds clash the mass I
522
00:37:29,750 --> 00:37:35,480
collected trophy the scientists collect
523
00:37:32,389 --> 00:37:36,400
data each sees the lion in a different
524
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:39,949
light
525
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:42,260
it's it's not a romantic we like to live
526
00:37:39,949 --> 00:37:44,230
with a wildlife kind of situation but
527
00:37:42,260 --> 00:37:47,180
they never do something to the extent
528
00:37:44,230 --> 00:37:48,769
that if I look if a line is being a
529
00:37:47,179 --> 00:37:50,389
problem they don't go out and try and
530
00:37:48,769 --> 00:37:54,050
kill every single line that they can
531
00:37:50,389 --> 00:37:55,549
find in the entire area I have great
532
00:37:54,050 --> 00:37:59,150
respect for them fur for tolerating
533
00:37:55,550 --> 00:38:01,460
insistence to such a great degree in
534
00:37:59,150 --> 00:38:02,150
truth the Warriors have made a lethal
535
00:38:01,460 --> 00:38:04,849
mistake
536
00:38:02,150 --> 00:38:07,490
the wrong lion has paid the price and
537
00:38:04,849 --> 00:38:10,030
the outcome is nearly fatal for one
538
00:38:07,489 --> 00:38:10,029
Masari
539
00:38:12,730 --> 00:38:17,440
were he to die on the spot they would
540
00:38:15,190 --> 00:38:22,230
give him a warrior's right and leave his
541
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:22,230
bones to the night and the hyenas
542
00:38:34,019 --> 00:38:39,929
night is the time of the four footed
543
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:43,789
hunters most hours are clouded over or
544
00:38:39,929 --> 00:38:43,789
feebly lit by faint stars
545
00:38:49,068 --> 00:38:58,969
on moonless nights the mass I only lead
546
00:38:51,829 --> 00:39:01,068
the safety of their bomas in groups but
547
00:38:58,969 --> 00:39:10,999
there is no safety in numbers now for
548
00:39:01,068 --> 00:39:13,478
the grazers of the plains the darkest
549
00:39:10,998 --> 00:39:15,948
hours of the night see Restless action
550
00:39:13,478 --> 00:39:19,518
animal hunters are about in numbers
551
00:39:15,949 --> 00:39:21,650
never seen during the day spooked the
552
00:39:19,518 --> 00:39:25,668
herds of wildebeest zebra and gazelle
553
00:39:21,650 --> 00:39:28,039
burst into panicky runs they fear lions
554
00:39:25,668 --> 00:39:30,818
and hyenas are nearby but only the
555
00:39:28,039 --> 00:39:30,819
camera can see
556
00:39:43,389 --> 00:39:50,839
not only the zebra are uneasy a clan of
557
00:39:47,119 --> 00:39:54,380
hyenas is also on edge they've made a
558
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:56,510
kill in another clans territory it isn't
559
00:39:54,380 --> 00:40:04,550
long before one of the owners claims his
560
00:39:56,510 --> 00:40:14,420
rights he calls for support from the
561
00:40:04,550 --> 00:40:17,750
other residence his clan bustles in to
562
00:40:14,420 --> 00:40:20,210
drive the invaders away they built the
563
00:40:17,750 --> 00:40:24,559
meet while they can other threats may
564
00:40:20,210 --> 00:40:27,699
arrive to challenge them in turn they
565
00:40:24,559 --> 00:40:30,590
remain watchful this is truly fast food
566
00:40:27,699 --> 00:40:36,799
the invaders will be back to recapture
567
00:40:30,590 --> 00:40:39,530
their meat you can see this clearly in
568
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:43,250
infrared light but how did the animals
569
00:40:39,530 --> 00:40:45,769
see in these conditions like all the
570
00:40:43,250 --> 00:40:48,050
animals here their eyes appear to glow a
571
00:40:45,769 --> 00:40:51,199
mirror-like membrane doubles the
572
00:40:48,050 --> 00:40:53,570
available light then their brains
573
00:40:51,199 --> 00:40:57,039
enhance the images filling in the gaps
574
00:40:53,570 --> 00:40:57,039
to see detail more clearly
575
00:40:58,670 --> 00:41:05,009
the newcomers soon returned in force the
576
00:41:02,759 --> 00:41:11,998
prize sea soars between them until it's
577
00:41:05,009 --> 00:41:16,338
all gone but with so little light even
578
00:41:11,998 --> 00:41:16,338
their superb night vision is challenged
579
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:21,599
this is as close as you can get to
580
00:41:18,690 --> 00:41:23,219
seeing through their eyes it gives an
581
00:41:21,599 --> 00:41:25,910
idea of how they can operate in this
582
00:41:23,219 --> 00:41:25,909
dark world
583
00:41:39,099 --> 00:41:44,039
the lions and hyenas continue their
584
00:41:41,380 --> 00:41:46,599
battles as if unhindered by the darkness
585
00:41:44,039 --> 00:41:48,940
once again the Lions have stolen the
586
00:41:46,599 --> 00:41:52,980
hyenas kill but they all appear to be
587
00:41:48,940 --> 00:41:52,980
able to see exactly what's going on
588
00:42:01,510 --> 00:42:07,869
and when the Lions go hunting they do so
589
00:42:05,139 --> 00:42:09,759
just as they are they wander off in the
590
00:42:07,869 --> 00:42:16,720
general direction of the sound of herds
591
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:19,270
of animals to the Lions the herds are
592
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:27,969
almost invisible at any distance just
593
00:42:19,269 --> 00:42:42,369
dull grey smears but they can locate the
594
00:42:27,969 --> 00:42:44,559
grazers easily by sound and smell night
595
00:42:42,369 --> 00:42:46,630
is the only time that Lions can approach
596
00:42:44,559 --> 00:42:49,358
undetected here on the short grass
597
00:42:46,630 --> 00:42:52,059
plains you are about to see for the
598
00:42:49,358 --> 00:43:03,429
first time how and when the Lions of the
599
00:42:52,059 --> 00:43:05,380
Serengeti catch most of their food itami
600
00:43:03,429 --> 00:43:07,210
dips his head to see whether or not he
601
00:43:05,380 --> 00:43:09,510
can see danger silhouetted against the
602
00:43:07,210 --> 00:43:09,510
sky
603
00:43:14,949 --> 00:43:19,599
the circling line is almost invisible
604
00:43:23,619 --> 00:43:28,690
bathed in infrared light it stands out
605
00:43:31,420 --> 00:43:38,920
another Tommy can hear something and his
606
00:43:36,739 --> 00:43:38,919
off
607
00:43:44,969 --> 00:43:53,219
the Lions game plan is always the same
608
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:53,220
get close to the herds then spread out
609
00:43:54,300 --> 00:43:58,720
they don't need to make any effort to
610
00:43:56,619 --> 00:44:03,009
hide themselves only their footfalls
611
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:05,230
give them away and because they're
612
00:44:03,010 --> 00:44:06,940
unseen lions are no longer at a
613
00:44:05,230 --> 00:44:09,269
disadvantage as they approach their
614
00:44:06,940 --> 00:44:09,269
quarry
615
00:44:18,510 --> 00:44:37,870
two young males take a smaller zebra
616
00:44:21,460 --> 00:44:55,990
with ease a lioness is chase a high kick
617
00:44:37,869 --> 00:44:59,380
let her quarry escape soon - Lions bring
618
00:44:55,989 --> 00:45:01,869
down a fine stallion saber sharp teeth
619
00:44:59,380 --> 00:45:05,610
and meathook claws bury themselves into
620
00:45:01,869 --> 00:45:05,609
300 kilos of struggle
621
00:45:14,809 --> 00:45:20,269
one lion grips the throat in a
622
00:45:17,159 --> 00:45:22,619
stranglehold the other prepares to feed
623
00:45:20,269 --> 00:45:24,929
their ability to keep a grip on their
624
00:45:22,619 --> 00:45:31,319
prey and pitch darkness makes the kill
625
00:45:24,929 --> 00:45:33,960
possible everything the camera has
626
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:36,269
disclosed comes together the apparent
627
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:38,519
competitors for the same food survived
628
00:45:36,269 --> 00:45:41,190
because there are times when one is more
629
00:45:38,519 --> 00:45:43,320
successful than the other the animals
630
00:45:41,190 --> 00:45:47,880
hunt in different ways by day and by
631
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:50,220
night and in differing light these
632
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:52,710
unique images show that the relationship
633
00:45:50,219 --> 00:45:55,679
between lions and hyenas is more complex
634
00:45:52,710 --> 00:45:58,440
than traditional pictures allow the
635
00:45:55,679 --> 00:46:01,230
Lions steal kills and the so called
636
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:04,340
cowardly hyenas are often merely add to
637
00:46:01,230 --> 00:46:04,340
reclaim their prey
638
00:46:16,590 --> 00:46:22,059
don't say you've never seen a brave
639
00:46:18,909 --> 00:46:25,269
hyena a thieving male lion is forced to
640
00:46:22,059 --> 00:46:27,389
take through the hyenas persist even
641
00:46:25,269 --> 00:46:30,460
though a single blow could be Freddie
642
00:46:27,389 --> 00:46:39,009
his frequent nighttime behaviour never
643
00:46:30,460 --> 00:46:40,960
been recorded before there's much more
644
00:46:39,010 --> 00:46:43,120
going on in the dark than people have
645
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:55,840
realized and there must be many more
646
00:46:43,119 --> 00:46:58,299
secrets still to be revealed adorn the
647
00:46:55,840 --> 00:47:01,120
Masai dismantled the thorns barricading
648
00:46:58,300 --> 00:47:04,450
the entries to their bohmers no lions or
649
00:47:01,119 --> 00:47:05,889
hyenas are to be seen outside the
650
00:47:04,449 --> 00:47:08,500
killing fields of the night are
651
00:47:05,889 --> 00:47:18,519
transformed into places where cattle may
652
00:47:08,500 --> 00:47:24,550
safely graze by day everything is in the
653
00:47:18,519 --> 00:47:26,440
Messiah's Babel the cool of night and
654
00:47:24,550 --> 00:47:28,570
the light of the moon are ideal
655
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:34,929
conditions for the hyena a long-distance
656
00:47:28,570 --> 00:47:37,570
runner but the darkest nights belong to
657
00:47:34,929 --> 00:47:42,399
Lions which can rely on built-in weapons
658
00:47:37,570 --> 00:47:45,090
and brute force the truer picture that
659
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:47,769
has emerged applies by day as well
660
00:47:45,090 --> 00:47:50,440
hyenas can kill when lions are too
661
00:47:47,769 --> 00:47:57,340
conspicuous and it's the Lions that are
662
00:47:50,440 --> 00:48:00,550
the scavengers in the end they don't so
663
00:47:57,340 --> 00:48:04,559
much compete as coexist hunting in
664
00:48:00,550 --> 00:48:04,560
different ways and at different times
665
00:48:06,599 --> 00:48:11,530
in the centuries of the murse I have
666
00:48:09,219 --> 00:48:13,618
dwelt on the plains they too have found
667
00:48:11,530 --> 00:48:16,990
a way of treading lightly on the land
668
00:48:13,619 --> 00:48:20,670
now droughts and overpopulation bring
669
00:48:16,989 --> 00:48:20,669
challenges to their old ways
670
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:29,349
within a decade this cattle pasture will
671
00:48:26,528 --> 00:48:31,960
be covered with crops predators and
672
00:48:29,349 --> 00:48:35,309
herds will be gone only preserved in the
673
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:35,309
zoo like National Park
674
00:48:38,119 --> 00:48:43,309
the Warriors will step back into history
675
00:48:40,460 --> 00:48:47,019
their culture bartered for bid parks in
676
00:48:43,309 --> 00:48:47,019
conservation and tourism
677
00:48:48,079 --> 00:48:52,999
if the murse I have a vital lesson to
678
00:48:50,420 --> 00:48:55,369
teach it is that Lions give meaning and
679
00:48:52,998 --> 00:48:59,048
purpose to their lives worthy
680
00:48:55,369 --> 00:48:59,048
adversaries for warriors
681
00:49:04,900 --> 00:49:11,000
their spears are already being beaten
682
00:49:07,519 --> 00:49:15,880
into plowshares a patchwork of fields is
683
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:15,880
appearing soon fences will spring up
684
00:49:17,150 --> 00:49:22,349
nature's carefully crafted balance of
685
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:26,220
power will be upset animals and people
686
00:49:22,349 --> 00:49:30,860
in conflict the picture that emerges
687
00:49:26,219 --> 00:49:30,859
maybe starker but it is more realistic
688
00:49:30,889 --> 00:49:36,980
and never again will you be taken in by
689
00:49:33,860 --> 00:49:40,090
that will groomed imposter posing as the
690
00:49:36,980 --> 00:49:40,090
king of the beasts
691
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,059
