{\an2}It's a place of permanent water

{\an2}and rich grazing.
7
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:20,840
{\an2}Desirable territory for many.

00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:32,560
{\an2}In its shadows lurk Africa's
most secretive big cats.
9
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,640
{\an2}Here, three leopards are forced
to share the same territory
10
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,640
{\an2}and live an increasingly
uneasy co-existence.
11
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,240
{\an2}They are drawn together
by the shifting seasons,
12
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:02,760
{\an2}leading to tension,
13
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,000

{\an2}and tragedy.
16
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,520
{\an2}The undisputed ruler
of this territory
17
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,400
{\an2}is the dominant male leopard,
Buddha.
18
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,360
{\an2}A five-year-old,
sturdy individual
in the prime of his life.

{\an2}Moving in and out of Buddha's
domain, is one of his females.
20
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:37,000
{\an2}She specializes in climbing
the tall ebony and Kigelia trees
of Moremi.

{\an2}[insects buzzing]
22
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:43,160
{\an2}She's called Mosweo…
23

{\an2}The Pale One.
24
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:56,880
{\an2}Tipa, their three-year-old son,
walks a dangerous line
within his parents' territory.
25
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,720
{\an2}According to leopard law,
he should've moved on by now
to fend for himself.
26
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,000
{\an2}But he's still around.
27
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,880
{\an2}Lingering between Buddha and
Mosweo can only lead to trouble.
28
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,480
{\an2}He seems blissfully unaware
of his predicament.
29
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,720
{\an2}But it is Mosweo's life
that has undergone
a dramatic change recently.
30
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,720
{\an2}She has just given birth
to two cubs.
31

{\an2}[instrumental music playing]
32
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,800
{\an2}And Tipa poses
a potential threat to them.

00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,120
{\an2}She has fared well so far.
36

{\an2}Her two cubs
were born in a bountiful summer.

{\an2}[birds singing]
38
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,600
{\an2}Leopards are solitary creatures
39
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,920
{\an2}and as a mother,
Mosweo relies on all her skills
to raise her cubs.
40
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:13,320
{\an2}In general, leopard cubs'
survival rate is below
fifty percent.
41
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,080
{\an2}The majority of losses
happen during the cubs'
first year of life
42
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,240
{\an2}while the leopard mother
leaves to hunt.
43
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,480
{\an2}It's a harsh reality that
leopards have to contend with
every time they give birth.
44
00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:34,880
{\an2}Mosweo has no choice but
to leave her cubs to find food.
45
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,200
{\an2}From her last litter,
Tipa is the only survivor.
46
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,320
{\an2}He's an adolescent.
47
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,360
{\an2}He still lingers
near the den site,
48
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:51,840
{\an2}familiar with his birth place,
49
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,120
{\an2}frequenting the paths
of his youth.
50
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,920
{\an2}Up to now Mosweo has tolerated
his presence in her territory.
51

{\an2}[ominous music playing]
52
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,600
{\an2}But the time has come
for him to move on.
53
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,840
{\an2}Mosweo is on the warpath.
54
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,400
{\an2}She walks with purpose,
her tail held high.
55
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,920
{\an2}The time has come for her
to sever the bonds
between them forever.
56

{\an2}[birds singing]
57
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,680
{\an2}Mosweo marks her territory
near his tree.
58
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,760
{\an2}The hostility towards her son
is plain to see.
59
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,040
{\an2}Their relationship has
degenerated into open conflict.
60
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,840
{\an2}Tipa still bears the wounds
from an earlier clash.
61
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,320
{\an2}Even though he's now bigger
than his mother...
62
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,200
{\an2}as her son, Tipa remains
relatively submissive.
63
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,560
{\an2}Reluctantly, he leaves the area.
64
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:25,600
{\an2}But unwisely, he'll continue
to linger on the edge
of his mother's territory.
65
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:33,240
{\an2}As he moves into a neighboring
woodland, he stumbles
on a mortal enemy.
66

{\an2}[crickets chirping]
67
00:05:48,280 --> 00:05:51,360
{\an2}The lions' scent carries,
and he's alerted.
68
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,000
{\an2}He needs to be careful.
69
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:03,120
{\an2}His first few days in unfamiliar
territory are dangerous
70
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,840
{\an2}and he's extremely vulnerable.
71
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,360
{\an2}Lions are the leopards'
biggest threat.
72
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,280
{\an2}Not only would they kill cubs,
73
00:06:12,280 --> 00:06:15,200
{\an2}but they'd tear Tipa
limb from limb.
74
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,800
{\an2}He has to skirt
around them silently.
75
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,880
{\an2}With the threat
to her cubs dealt with,
76
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,480
{\an2}Mosweo can now concentrate on
the one thing she does best...
77
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:30,880
{\an2}hunting.
78

{\an2}[birds chirping]

{\an2}She's an excellent climber.
80

{\an2}She likes a good vantage point,
7 or 8m above the ground.

{\an2}[suspenseful music playing]
82
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,680
{\an2}The leopard is the only big cat
that uses gravity to hunt.
83
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,040
{\an2}Mosweo is an expert at it.

{\an2}This technique is quick,
quiet and efficient.

{\an2}But the impala alarm calls are
a dead giveaway that a predator
is operating in the forest.

{\an2}The hyenas have heard
the commotion.
88
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,840
{\an2}She needs to hide the kill
before they see her.
89
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:02,800
{\an2}They hunt in packs.
90
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,760
{\an2}They're strong, and aggressive.
91

{\an2}They are the number one killer
of leopard cubs.
93
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,600

96

{\an2}In a risky move,
she fetches the cubs,
and leads them back to feed,

00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,480
{\an2}using the secret pathways
she knows so well.
98
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,880
{\an2}With such small cubs,
she cannot move the carcass
into the safety of a tree
99
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,800
{\an2}since they cannot climb.

{\an2}[birds calling]
101
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,240

{\an2}Staying well-hidden is their
only option.

{\an2}The circle
around the scent tightens.
111
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,400
{\an2}Mosweo has to act
quickly and decisively.
112
00:10:13,680 --> 00:10:15,040
{\an2}She has a plan...

00:10:15,680 --> 00:10:20,680
{\an2}Get the hyenas to focus on her
and draw them far away enough
for the cubs to leave the kill.
114
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:36,680
{\an2}Leopards constantly walk a fine
line between safety and danger.
115
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,320
{\an2}As solitary cats, they have
struck a perfect balance.
116
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,040
{\an2}But for a mother,
this balance can mean sacrifice.

and much more confident.

in a thicket,
where she feeds quickly.
176
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,480
{\an2}To make this kill, she's had
to leave her young alone,
and vulnerable.
177
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,160
{\an2}Now she needs
to get back to the den.

00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,640
{\an2}He's finally killed an impala
323
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,400
{\an2}but doesn't get to enjoy
the fruits of his labor.
324
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,600
{\an2}Stooping to petty theft,
325
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:31,360
{\an2}the lions that have haunted his
movements, now steal his food.
326
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:44,760
{\an2}Tipa stares hungrily as the big
male eats the ill-gotten gains.
327
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:06,880
{\an2}The lion eats the bulk
of the impala, and leaves.
328
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:14,360
{\an2}Carefully, Tipa moves
to reclaim his kill.
329
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:47,200
{\an2}Finally, he can enjoy
what remains, in peace.
330
00:35:56,240 --> 00:36:00,320
{\an2}Mosweo's cub is now at an age
where she begins
to explore further.
331
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,240
{\an2}It's high time she learned
how to climb.
332
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,440
{\an2}[instrumental music playing]
333
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:26,760
{\an2}A little unsure of herself,
she attempts to reach
some babblers.
334
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,640
{\an2}She's small,
and still vulnerable.
335
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:35,920
{\an2}Even more so
now that she's curious and able
to venture out of hiding.
336
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:38,680
{\an2}Especially when her mother's
not around.
337
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:47,600
{\an2}Mosweo is far off, hunting.
338
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,760
{\an2}She doesn't often
come to this part of the island
339
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,520
{\an2}and she leaves her mark
to enforce her presence.
340
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:21,560
{\an2}She moves on to an open plain
where two side-striped jackal
are foraging.
341
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:27,920
{\an2}In this season of hardship,
342
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,480
{\an2}Mosweo takes advantage
of any opportunity
that presents itself.
343
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:44,480
{\an2}Although not normally
a prey item, the jackals quickly
become a target.
344
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,000
{\an2}[ominous music playing]
345
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,040
{\an2}[music intensifies]
346
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:17,480
{\an2}But the side-striped jackal
is no fool and has an impressive
turn of speed.
347
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,240
{\an2}[jackal barking]
348
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:22,040
{\an2}[jackal barking]
349
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:36,600
{\an2}Irritated with her failure,
she leaves her mark
and moves on.
350
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:40,280
{\an2}[jackal barking continues]
351
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:57,880
{\an2}The jackal's barks are echoed
by Vervet monkeys, chattering
in the distance.
352
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,480
{\an2}These alarm calls alert Mosweo.
353
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:06,560
{\an2}They're coming
from the direction of the den.
354
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:08,680
{\an2}[monkey calling]
355
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:13,240
{\an2}[calling and barking continues]
356
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:25,840
{\an2}[Mosweo growling]
357
00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:37,520
{\an2}Mosweo treads lightly
358
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:41,000
{\an2}as she moves closer to the place
pinpointed by the monkeys.
359
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:46,320
{\an2}[growling softly]
360
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:52,840
{\an2}[monkeys calling]
361
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:00,600
{\an2}She starts searching...
362
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,400
{\an2}But what she finds, is shocking.
363
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:13,920
{\an2}[growling]
364
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,960
{\an2}Her cub has its back leg
caught in a tree,
365
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,520
{\an2}and its pelvis has been broken.
366
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,400
{\an2}[emotive music playing]
367
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:51,520
{\an2}[monkey calling]
368
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,960
{\an2}Nothing she tries
can help her last remaining cub.
369
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:32,520
{\an2}No gentle nudge.
370
00:41:33,240 --> 00:41:35,280
{\an2}No affectionate encouragement.
371
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,840
{\an2}Perhaps an invitation
to a last game?
372
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:40,520
{\an2}[emotive music continues]
373
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:08,680

{\an2}[growling]
376
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,240
{\an2}Her voice is almost pleading.
377
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:16,160
{\an2}A last attempt,
and the cub's leg is freed.
378
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:56,720
{\an2}There is no more
that Mosweo can do.
379
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:12,960
{\an2}With all her remaining strength
380
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:16,240
{\an2}the cub pulls herself
to her final resting place.
381
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:23,320
{\an2}But her mother has already
decided to leave this traumatic
scene behind.
382
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,080
{\an2}[birds calling]
383
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,920
{\an2}Mosweo seems to try to rub away
her sense of loss.
384
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,760
{\an2}Is this the way
a leopard mourns?
385
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:05,320
{\an2}The heat builds.
386
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:06,840
{\an2}The rains are coming.
387
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,120
{\an2}Buddha treads on new ground.
388
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,320
{\an2}He is following
an interesting scent.
389
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,640
{\an2}One that he cannot help
but find irresistible.
390
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:25,560
{\an2}It comes from this leopard.
391
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,680
{\an2}A new female
has entered his territory.
392
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:34,760
{\an2}She is larger and stronger
than Mosweo
393
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:38,520
{\an2}and she brings the promise of
fresh genes to Dead Tree Island.
394
00:45:55,720 --> 00:46:00,280
{\an2}On the fringes,
Mosweo watches with alarm.
395
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:08,440
{\an2}Buddha’s senses trigger
an uncontrollable need
to cloak himself
396
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:10,320
{\an2}in the new female's scent.
397
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,160
{\an2}Hers is not any smell...
398
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:18,200
{\an2}It is the perfume
of a female in estrous.
399
00:46:20,720 --> 00:46:22,880
{\an2}Mosweo follows his footsteps.
400
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:26,560
{\an2}His calls are low and clear.
401
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:29,160
{\an2}But she knows
he's not calling her.
402
00:46:32,240 --> 00:46:34,760
{\an2}What she smells
is not appealing.
403
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:37,280
{\an2}The scent of another female.
404
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:39,160
{\an2}A rival.
405
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:45,920
{\an2}Instinctively, Mosweo
tries to mask any hint
of her challenger's presence.
406
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:48,080
{\an2}But she's too late.

{\an2}[growling]
408
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:58,160
{\an2}Buddha is already responding,

{\an2}The new female is quick
to take up his invitation.

{\an2}[instrumental music playing]
413
00:47:25,240 --> 00:47:28,640
{\an2}Mosweo retreats.
Her efforts are futile.

{\an2}[leopard growling]
415
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:55,080
{\an2}The rival has found her prize.
416
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,080
{\an2}She makes contact with Buddha.

{\an2}[emotive music playing]
418
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:12,600
{\an2}Mosweo leaves the place
where she gave birth.
419
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:14,880
{\an2}Perhaps to seek out
another territory.
420
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:16,880
{\an2}And a new partner.

{\an2}[crickets chirping,

426
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:49,280
{\an2}And the change in season
coaxes Buddha to mate.

{\an2}A new era begins for the
leopards of Dead Tree Island.
430
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:30,920
{\an2}They mate for days,
and by the end of it,
431
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:34,120
{\an2}the new female will hold
the seed of new cubs.

{\an2}And the way of the wild
shows its warmer side.

{\an2}Buddha is content
that his job is done.

{\an2}And with the onset
of another fruitful season...
438

{\an2}the legacy
of Dead Tree Island's leopards
439

{\an2}is secure.
