[BIRD SQUAWKING]
365
00:36:47,205 --> 00:36:50,556
In fact, Frida is too far away
to hear her mum.
366
00:36:54,777 --> 00:36:58,041
Bored with waiting,
she's headed off alone.
367
00:37:03,873 --> 00:37:06,224
She's found a great new patch
of forest to explore,
368
00:37:08,878 --> 00:37:12,578
but her solo adventure
has taken an unexpected turn.
369

Pumas also stalk
the Pantanal.
370
00:37:34,121 --> 00:37:36,645
Normally, they give way
to the larger jaguars.

Frida is nearly the same size
as this prowler.
373
00:37:50,268 --> 00:37:52,182
Frida's just witnessed
a catfight,

Frida decides
to stay put for now.

she's still
in Gatuna's territory.

But her scent markings
are old and faint.

By using her newly-trained
nose and ears,
412
00:41:57,036 --> 00:41:59,604
there's a chance she could
track down her family.
