1
00:00:03,270 --> 00:00:05,572
The Luangwa Valley
in southern Africa.
2
00:00:07,741 --> 00:00:10,677
Home to an extraordinary
female leopard...
3
00:00:11,712 --> 00:00:13,714
Kamuti.
4
00:00:17,551 --> 00:00:21,722
At 13 years old,
she's wise and experienced.
5
00:00:25,792 --> 00:00:28,495
And she has some of
the best territory around,
6
00:00:28,495 --> 00:00:31,198
full of antelopes.
7
00:00:34,134 --> 00:00:36,503
This prime real estate
has been hers
8
00:00:36,503 --> 00:00:38,505
for more than ten years.
9
00:00:39,606 --> 00:00:42,142
But she must work hard
to keep it.
10
00:00:44,344 --> 00:00:46,747
She regularly patrols
her hunting ground,
11
00:00:46,747 --> 00:00:48,649
marking it with her scent,
12
00:00:48,649 --> 00:00:51,818
sending a clear message
to other female leopards...
13
00:00:53,420 --> 00:00:55,555
'This land is mine.'
14
00:00:57,591 --> 00:01:01,128
Now, she's about to face
her greatest threat.
15
00:01:04,364 --> 00:01:09,102
A nomadic
young female leopard
is after her territory.
16
00:01:11,405 --> 00:01:15,175
This will be a battle
of age and experience...
17
00:01:16,810 --> 00:01:20,047
..versus youth and vitality.
18
00:01:22,349 --> 00:01:24,351
Two leopards.
19
00:01:25,452 --> 00:01:27,321
One territory.
20
00:01:27,321 --> 00:01:29,089
Who will win?
21
00:01:50,711 --> 00:01:53,213
At 13 years of age,
22
00:01:53,213 --> 00:01:56,750
Kamuti is one of
the oldest known leopards
in the African bush.
23
00:01:58,885 --> 00:02:02,255
Her long life is all
down to where she lives.
24
00:02:04,324 --> 00:02:07,561
South Luangwa National Park
in Zambia.
25
00:02:14,067 --> 00:02:16,236
An unspoiled wilderness.
26
00:02:22,776 --> 00:02:24,678
Kamuti's territory covers
27
00:02:24,678 --> 00:02:26,680
only two square
miles...
28
00:02:32,652 --> 00:02:34,654
..a tiny area for a leopard.
29
00:02:39,426 --> 00:02:42,229
But this is
no ordinary hunting ground.
30
00:02:45,799 --> 00:02:48,435
The mosaic of habitat here,
31
00:02:48,435 --> 00:02:50,270
from grassy plains
32
00:02:50,270 --> 00:02:52,139
to ebony forests,
33
00:02:52,139 --> 00:02:54,808
supports
a huge diversity of birdlife.
34
00:02:59,146 --> 00:03:01,681
Guinea fowl and francolins
35
00:03:01,681 --> 00:03:04,251
are very much
on Kamuti's menu.
36
00:03:08,522 --> 00:03:11,758
And there are more than
60 species of mammal here...
37
00:03:16,763 --> 00:03:21,334
..including
an unusual abundance
of her favorite prey.
38
00:03:23,203 --> 00:03:25,272
Antelopes such as impala...
39
00:03:27,140 --> 00:03:29,142
..and puku.
40
00:03:36,450 --> 00:03:39,186
Kamuti has been
hunting all morning,
41
00:03:39,186 --> 00:03:41,188
and has killed an impala.
42
00:03:42,222 --> 00:03:44,558
This should keep her going
for a week or more.
43
00:03:49,396 --> 00:03:52,632
But there are other more
powerful predators about.
44
00:03:55,635 --> 00:03:59,106
Lions have smelt her success,
45
00:03:59,106 --> 00:04:01,041
and are on her trail.
46
00:04:21,761 --> 00:04:25,265
Before she's even finished
her first mouthful,
47
00:04:25,265 --> 00:04:27,567
Kamuti is forced
to abandon her kill.
48
00:04:36,309 --> 00:04:38,578
No point arguing
with a lioness
49
00:04:38,578 --> 00:04:40,647
more than
three times her size.
50
00:04:44,451 --> 00:04:48,221
All Kamuti can do is
watch from a safe distance.
51
00:05:12,812 --> 00:05:16,216
But she's not far enough away
for the lioness' liking.
52
00:05:31,831 --> 00:05:34,201
Kamuti seeks safety
up a tree,
53
00:05:34,201 --> 00:05:36,336
where the heavier lion
cannot follow.
54
00:06:08,401 --> 00:06:11,304
The rest of the pride
are quick on the scene,
55
00:06:11,304 --> 00:06:14,674
and waste no time
cashing in on Kamuti's kill.
56
00:06:29,322 --> 00:06:31,324
Now's her chance to escape.
57
00:06:42,168 --> 00:06:45,338
Kamuti, like all leopards,
58
00:06:45,338 --> 00:06:48,241
will always give way
to lions.
59
00:06:49,709 --> 00:06:52,312
Not only are they
much bigger than her,
60
00:06:52,312 --> 00:06:56,249
they are the only cats that
live in big family groups,
61
00:06:56,249 --> 00:06:58,785
so they have strength
in numbers.
62
00:07:03,590 --> 00:07:07,961
But there's one kind of cat
that Kamuti
will stand and fight.
63
00:07:09,663 --> 00:07:11,665
Another female leopard.
64
00:07:19,306 --> 00:07:23,076
Five miles to the east
is a rival female.
65
00:07:24,144 --> 00:07:26,146
Olimba.
66
00:07:30,350 --> 00:07:32,585
She's three years old
67
00:07:32,585 --> 00:07:34,654
and coming into her prime.
68
00:07:43,163 --> 00:07:48,168
Strong, supple,
and in perfect condition.
69
00:07:52,572 --> 00:07:55,742
Until recently,
Olimba lived with her mother.
70
00:07:56,776 --> 00:07:58,812
But now, for the first time,
71
00:07:58,812 --> 00:08:01,314
she's striking out
on her own.
72
00:08:04,317 --> 00:08:07,954
This is the start of
a new and solitary life.
73
00:08:10,724 --> 00:08:13,159
Right now, she's a nomad.
74
00:08:15,662 --> 00:08:19,566
What she needs is a hunting
ground of her own...
75
00:08:19,566 --> 00:08:21,534
with plenty of prey
76
00:08:21,534 --> 00:08:23,737
and lots of cover.
77
00:08:29,709 --> 00:08:33,413
But the best territory
around here is already taken.
78
00:08:35,615 --> 00:08:38,151
She won't get it
without a fight.
79
00:08:42,522 --> 00:08:46,159
She sets out in search of
a new place to call home.
80
00:08:55,802 --> 00:08:58,138
It's the dry season
in South Luangwa.
81
00:08:59,139 --> 00:09:01,441
It hasn't rained
for more than five months.
82
00:09:03,343 --> 00:09:07,113
As the sun beats down,
a herd of impala gathers
83
00:09:07,113 --> 00:09:09,582
at the one remaining
source of water...
84
00:09:10,683 --> 00:09:12,685
..the Luangwa River.
85
00:09:14,454 --> 00:09:18,425
Midday is the safest time for
impala to be out in the open.
86
00:09:20,727 --> 00:09:23,563
It's too hot
for most predators to hunt.
87
00:09:23,563 --> 00:09:25,565
But Olimba is hungry.
88
00:09:29,135 --> 00:09:33,206
Impala are one of the largest
animals she can bring down,
89
00:09:33,206 --> 00:09:35,375
and so are top of her menu.
90
00:09:42,081 --> 00:09:44,717
But there's no cover
on the sandy river bank.
91
00:09:44,717 --> 00:09:47,086
She's chancing it.
92
00:10:25,458 --> 00:10:27,460
No chance!
93
00:10:33,199 --> 00:10:38,371
A more experienced leopard
would have known
this was a lost cause.
94
00:11:00,226 --> 00:11:04,564
Until she has her own hunting
ground with plenty of cover,
95
00:11:04,564 --> 00:11:07,333
Olimba is always
going to struggle.
96
00:11:20,513 --> 00:11:25,151
Her search for a new home
is bringing Olimba closer
to Kamuti.
97
00:11:27,387 --> 00:11:31,291
She's only three miles away from
the older leopard's territory,
98
00:11:31,291 --> 00:11:33,293
and is closing in.
99
00:11:39,766 --> 00:11:42,735
Kamuti is also out hunting
in the heat of the day.
100
00:11:47,707 --> 00:11:51,811
As her last kill was stolen
by lions, she's still hungry.
101
00:11:56,683 --> 00:12:00,453
But she knows better than to
try stalking out in the open.
102
00:12:03,756 --> 00:12:06,659
She's learnt that
her best chance of an ambush
103
00:12:06,659 --> 00:12:09,329
is when she's hidden
in a dried-up river bed
104
00:12:09,329 --> 00:12:11,264
in the heart
of her territory,
105
00:12:11,264 --> 00:12:14,434
where prey can't see her,
even in broad daylight.
106
00:12:29,415 --> 00:12:31,451
But years of experience
107
00:12:31,451 --> 00:12:34,854
and the best cover
don't guarantee success.
108
00:12:34,854 --> 00:12:38,157
- (Shrieks)
- A puku sounds the alarm.
109
00:12:40,627 --> 00:12:44,130
It didn't see her.
It smelled her.
110
00:12:48,835 --> 00:12:51,671
A quick change in wind
direction is all it takes...
111
00:12:52,705 --> 00:12:55,108
..and her chances are blown.
112
00:12:56,876 --> 00:13:00,413
It's hard for a leopard
to slip by unnoticed.
113
00:13:01,514 --> 00:13:03,416
They have scent glands
on their heads
114
00:13:03,416 --> 00:13:05,318
and at the base
of their tail,
115
00:13:05,318 --> 00:13:07,520
which produce
pungent secretions.
116
00:13:11,691 --> 00:13:14,761
Prey is extremely sensitive
to her smell.
117
00:13:18,665 --> 00:13:21,467
But Kamuti knows
all the old tricks,
118
00:13:21,467 --> 00:13:24,604
and has a clever way to try
and disguise her scent.
119
00:13:32,612 --> 00:13:35,348
What better perfume than mud
120
00:13:35,348 --> 00:13:38,184
mixed with
a good dose of giraffe urine?
121
00:14:07,213 --> 00:14:10,650
Now she waits
for the cover of darkness.
122
00:14:29,569 --> 00:14:33,206
A revolutionary
military-grade thermal camera
123
00:14:33,206 --> 00:14:36,109
reveals the night-time world
of the Luangwa Valley.
124
00:14:38,845 --> 00:14:40,646
In the black of night,
125
00:14:40,646 --> 00:14:44,050
a good sense of smell
is all-important.
126
00:14:48,287 --> 00:14:52,325
A porcupine uses its nose to
sniff out nutritious roots.
127
00:14:56,162 --> 00:15:00,700
The stench of a rotting hippo
brings on a feeding frenzy
128
00:15:00,700 --> 00:15:02,702
amongst the crocodiles
in the river.
129
00:15:07,540 --> 00:15:10,543
Away from the water,
the scent of another carcass
130
00:15:10,543 --> 00:15:12,745
has led a crocodile
deep inland.
131
00:15:19,719 --> 00:15:23,322
An elephant shrew's
highly-sensitive nose
132
00:15:23,322 --> 00:15:25,258
allows it to hunt insects
133
00:15:25,258 --> 00:15:27,727
and other small invertebrates
in the darkness.
134
00:15:30,263 --> 00:15:33,332
Its moveable snout is a bit
like an elephant's trunk,
135
00:15:33,332 --> 00:15:35,701
and that's no coincidence.
136
00:15:37,470 --> 00:15:40,807
Amazingly, this tiny creature
is more closely related
137
00:15:40,807 --> 00:15:45,111
to these giants
than to rodents
and other small mammals.
138
00:15:46,712 --> 00:15:48,848
(Elephants trumpet)
139
00:15:48,848 --> 00:15:52,285
Elephants have
the best sense of smell
in the animal kingdom.
140
00:15:54,453 --> 00:15:57,323
And that's all down
to their long trunks.
141
00:16:00,126 --> 00:16:03,396
Air drawn in through the two
nostrils at a trunk's tip
142
00:16:03,396 --> 00:16:07,333
passes over millions of
receptor cells in its lining.
143
00:16:09,302 --> 00:16:13,406
A signal is then relayed
to the brain, which
interprets different scents.
144
00:16:15,708 --> 00:16:18,411
Their incredible trunk
enables elephants
145
00:16:18,411 --> 00:16:21,614
to smell water
as far as 12 miles away.
146
00:16:32,358 --> 00:16:36,295
Having a good sense of smell
is also important for Kamuti.
147
00:16:44,403 --> 00:16:46,439
She's on the hunt again,
148
00:16:46,439 --> 00:16:48,474
closing in
on a herd of impala.
149
00:16:57,350 --> 00:16:59,685
She might have
the better night vision,
150
00:16:59,685 --> 00:17:02,255
but she knows her scent
could give her away.
151
00:17:13,733 --> 00:17:17,203
She's trying desperately
to stay downwind of her prey.
152
00:17:53,673 --> 00:17:58,177
She must get within twenty feet
before she can strike.
153
00:17:59,178 --> 00:18:01,013
Any farther
154
00:18:01,013 --> 00:18:03,549
and the antelope will have
too much of a head start.
155
00:18:23,402 --> 00:18:25,504
She's not as quick
as she used to be.
156
00:18:32,078 --> 00:18:34,080
But she's smart.
157
00:18:35,081 --> 00:18:37,183
Once again,
she rolls in urine.
158
00:18:38,784 --> 00:18:41,721
This time,
in the antelopes' latrines.
159
00:18:57,103 --> 00:19:00,139
She's covering her scent
with that of her prey.
160
00:19:08,414 --> 00:19:10,416
Maybe now she'll outwit them.
161
00:19:30,669 --> 00:19:33,072
She inches forward.
162
00:20:06,705 --> 00:20:10,142
Confident that her scent
is well disguised,
163
00:20:10,142 --> 00:20:12,144
she picks up speed.
164
00:20:17,817 --> 00:20:20,453
The antelope
are on red alert.
165
00:20:23,689 --> 00:20:25,458
They must have heard her.
166
00:20:32,565 --> 00:20:34,800
Kamuti decides
to call it a night.
167
00:20:40,339 --> 00:20:43,442
Once again,
she's left hungry.
168
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:09,802
It's early morning,
169
00:21:09,802 --> 00:21:13,739
and the guinea fowl
are already out and about,
foraging for food.
170
00:21:23,582 --> 00:21:26,719
These are
helmeted guinea fowl,
171
00:21:26,719 --> 00:21:29,455
named after the bony mound
on their heads.
172
00:21:34,093 --> 00:21:36,095
They're not fussy eaters.
173
00:21:38,364 --> 00:21:40,733
Like chickens,
they scratch the ground
174
00:21:40,733 --> 00:21:42,601
with their strong claws
175
00:21:42,601 --> 00:21:46,705
and are happy to eat seeds,
berries, worms, insects...
176
00:21:47,706 --> 00:21:49,708
Anything goes.
177
00:21:51,310 --> 00:21:54,813
Typically, they live
in groups of around 25 birds.
178
00:21:57,550 --> 00:22:00,186
Plenty of eyes
to look out for danger.
179
00:22:10,496 --> 00:22:14,266
But they haven't spotted
the young nomad Olimba,
180
00:22:14,266 --> 00:22:16,735
who's quietly watching
their every move.
181
00:22:24,843 --> 00:22:28,147
She's right on the outskirts
of Kamuti's territory,
182
00:22:28,147 --> 00:22:31,116
less than a mile
from the older leopard.
183
00:22:32,318 --> 00:22:34,687
There's no impala here,
184
00:22:34,687 --> 00:22:37,423
but a bird might make
a nice breakfast.
185
00:22:57,876 --> 00:23:01,013
Once again,
her prey is out in the open.
186
00:23:48,127 --> 00:23:49,695
There's no cover.
187
00:23:51,563 --> 00:23:53,432
It's far from ideal.
188
00:24:00,673 --> 00:24:03,008
But Olimba's not put off.
189
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,717
The untimely distraction
by the tree squirrel
190
00:24:44,717 --> 00:24:46,719
has cost her another meal.
191
00:25:13,512 --> 00:25:16,081
Having missed out
on breakfast,
192
00:25:16,081 --> 00:25:18,217
Olimba is hungry
for some supper.
193
00:25:25,758 --> 00:25:28,794
The guinea fowl are
settling down for the night.
194
00:25:28,794 --> 00:25:31,630
Though they spend their days
feeding on the ground,
195
00:25:31,630 --> 00:25:35,067
they feel safest when they're
roosting as high as possible.
196
00:25:40,839 --> 00:25:44,610
Olimba's night vision
is far superior to theirs,
197
00:25:44,610 --> 00:25:46,712
but they're right
at the top of the tree.
198
00:25:58,857 --> 00:26:01,026
Scaling the vertical trunk
199
00:26:01,026 --> 00:26:03,595
looks effortless
for this fit, young cat.
200
00:26:13,572 --> 00:26:15,441
She may be agile,
201
00:26:15,441 --> 00:26:18,477
but up here the birds
have a clear advantage.
202
00:26:24,149 --> 00:26:26,151
You can't fault
her enthusiasm.
203
00:26:27,319 --> 00:26:29,655
But eagerness alone
is not enough.
204
00:26:37,129 --> 00:26:39,164
What Olimba really needs
205
00:26:39,164 --> 00:26:42,234
is to find a hunting ground
full of antelope...
206
00:26:43,235 --> 00:26:46,171
..one that she can claim
for herself.
207
00:27:36,088 --> 00:27:37,789
(Growls)
208
00:27:37,789 --> 00:27:40,492
As Olimba enters
Kamuti's territory,
209
00:27:40,492 --> 00:27:42,561
she makes her presence known.
210
00:27:46,298 --> 00:27:49,101
As well as sound,
she's using smell,
211
00:27:49,101 --> 00:27:52,571
scraping the ground
with the scent glands
in her hind paws.
212
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,677
Olimba's approach
is bad news for Kamuti.
213
00:28:00,546 --> 00:28:03,448
A rival female leopard
is a serious threat.
214
00:28:10,556 --> 00:28:13,692
Kamuti has held
her hunting grounds
for more than ten years.
215
00:28:15,661 --> 00:28:18,263
But that could be
about to change.
216
00:28:39,184 --> 00:28:41,186
Kamuti's got to act fast.
217
00:28:42,187 --> 00:28:44,690
She immediately
sets off on patrol,
218
00:28:44,690 --> 00:28:47,626
laying claim to her territory
with her scent.
219
00:28:50,495 --> 00:28:53,432
She rubs her head
on important landmarks.
220
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,636
Her sebaceous glands
release an oily secretion...
221
00:28:59,404 --> 00:29:03,075
..a chemical signature
that will stay here
for up to five days.
222
00:29:12,718 --> 00:29:16,488
This is an important spot
for Kamuti.
223
00:29:18,090 --> 00:29:19,992
It's her favorite lookout.
224
00:29:39,111 --> 00:29:42,381
Just for good measure, she
also sprays it with urine,
225
00:29:42,381 --> 00:29:45,350
infused with secretions
from her anal glands...
226
00:29:48,553 --> 00:29:51,056
..a clear sign
that tells intruders
227
00:29:51,056 --> 00:29:54,159
in no uncertain terms
to keep out.
228
00:30:04,136 --> 00:30:06,538
Kamuti must hold on
to her territory.
229
00:30:07,539 --> 00:30:09,541
Her life depends on it.
230
00:30:22,821 --> 00:30:24,856
Olimba, the young contender,
231
00:30:24,856 --> 00:30:27,092
is now inside
Kamuti's territory...
232
00:30:28,093 --> 00:30:30,328
..and is making herself
very much at home.
233
00:30:33,832 --> 00:30:36,234
She's trying
to get some rest,
234
00:30:36,234 --> 00:30:38,704
but the noisy residents
are disturbing her peace.
235
00:30:38,704 --> 00:30:40,472
(Bird calls)
236
00:30:42,307 --> 00:30:44,509
Swainson's francolin.
237
00:30:44,509 --> 00:30:48,113
For such a small bird,
they have a big voice.
238
00:30:48,113 --> 00:30:49,681
(Screechy call)
239
00:30:56,154 --> 00:30:58,156
(Growls)
240
00:31:05,764 --> 00:31:07,766
Olimba's not impressed.
241
00:31:20,278 --> 00:31:22,180
A tree squirrel
has spotted her.
242
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,489
It's the final straw.
243
00:31:31,456 --> 00:31:34,259
She gives up any idea
of sleep, and moves on.
244
00:31:54,212 --> 00:31:56,214
This is more like it.
245
00:31:57,382 --> 00:32:00,185
A clearing
teeming with antelope.
246
00:32:05,557 --> 00:32:08,393
It's just the hunting ground
that Olimba needs.
247
00:32:24,109 --> 00:32:26,578
But the scent on this tree
248
00:32:26,578 --> 00:32:29,447
tells her
this patch is already taken.
249
00:32:35,854 --> 00:32:38,557
It's one of the trees
that Kamuti marked.
250
00:32:42,794 --> 00:32:45,330
And it's covered
with vital information.
251
00:32:50,302 --> 00:32:52,637
Just by smelling her scent,
252
00:32:52,637 --> 00:32:55,540
Olimba can tell that
Kamuti is female,
253
00:32:55,540 --> 00:32:58,543
elderly,
and was here very recently.
254
00:33:39,784 --> 00:33:45,190
Olimba now knows she is
the younger and fitter
of the two leopards
255
00:33:45,190 --> 00:33:49,361
and that she has
a good chance of winning
this land for herself.
256
00:34:10,749 --> 00:34:15,287
There's further proof
that this territory
belongs to someone else.
257
00:34:15,287 --> 00:34:17,289
(Insects buzzing)
258
00:34:18,390 --> 00:34:20,392
She's found Kamuti's larder.
259
00:34:32,837 --> 00:34:35,807
A muscular body
and short powerful legs
260
00:34:35,807 --> 00:34:40,145
give Olimba
the perfect balance
of strength and agility.
261
00:34:55,794 --> 00:34:57,796
It's a dead puku.
262
00:34:59,864 --> 00:35:01,499
(Flies buzzing)
263
00:35:01,499 --> 00:35:06,571
Leopards have been known
to drag carcasses three times
their weight into a tree.
264
00:35:08,306 --> 00:35:13,011
It's the one place
they know a lion or hyena
can't steal it.
265
00:35:26,624 --> 00:35:29,094
But instead of
eating the puku,
266
00:35:29,094 --> 00:35:30,996
she only sniffs it.
267
00:35:31,796 --> 00:35:34,666
Kamuti must have stashed it
here a long time ago.
268
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,003
The meat has gone off.
269
00:35:43,341 --> 00:35:45,744
Olimba may be hungry,
270
00:35:45,744 --> 00:35:49,114
but she's not desperate
enough to eat rancid meat.
271
00:36:15,774 --> 00:36:18,143
Olimba lays down
her own marker.
272
00:36:21,546 --> 00:36:23,715
It's a clear message
for Kamuti...
273
00:36:25,216 --> 00:36:27,218
..and a declaration of war.
274
00:36:59,818 --> 00:37:02,954
Kamuti has heard Olimba
and now picks up her scent.
275
00:37:04,789 --> 00:37:09,094
She's in no doubt
there's an intruder
right in her territory.
276
00:37:12,263 --> 00:37:16,568
She can tell that
her rival is a young leopard,
who's reaching her prime.
277
00:37:19,737 --> 00:37:23,007
This is a threat
she cannot ignore.
278
00:37:26,111 --> 00:37:28,113
(Grunts)
279
00:37:33,118 --> 00:37:36,387
She has no intention
of giving up hunting ground
280
00:37:36,387 --> 00:37:38,690
that's been hers
for the past decade.
281
00:38:01,779 --> 00:38:05,283
Undeterred, the young rival
Olimba has pushed on
282
00:38:05,283 --> 00:38:07,318
into Kamuti's
favorite hunting spot.
283
00:38:08,419 --> 00:38:10,255
The gully.
284
00:38:20,064 --> 00:38:22,167
She checks out
the lay of the land,
285
00:38:22,167 --> 00:38:24,335
and finds a hidden bonus.
286
00:38:26,571 --> 00:38:28,673
One of the few
remaining water holes.
287
00:38:33,611 --> 00:38:36,614
This late on in the dry
season, they're at a premium.
288
00:38:39,584 --> 00:38:42,320
This territory has got
everything going for it.
289
00:38:45,123 --> 00:38:47,158
Olimba wants it for herself,
290
00:38:47,158 --> 00:38:49,360
and claims it with her urine.
291
00:39:04,609 --> 00:39:07,612
Some puku have wandered
close to the gully's edge.
292
00:39:22,527 --> 00:39:26,631
Finally, a chance to stalk
in the daytime unnoticed.
293
00:39:59,063 --> 00:40:01,366
Success depends on surprise.
294
00:40:05,470 --> 00:40:07,538
But she's upwind of her prey.
295
00:40:18,750 --> 00:40:23,221
Olimba's got a lot to learn
if she wants to get the most
out of this hunting ground.
296
00:40:26,858 --> 00:40:29,360
And there'll be
plenty more opportunities,
297
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,297
if she can claim the gully
for herself.
298
00:40:37,235 --> 00:40:41,239
To win it,
first she must fight for it.
299
00:40:43,308 --> 00:40:46,577
Olimba has youth and
strength in her favor.
300
00:40:48,780 --> 00:40:51,616
But Kamuti has
years of experience,
301
00:40:51,616 --> 00:40:56,254
and has successfully
fought off many intruders
in the past.
302
00:40:58,723 --> 00:41:01,426
There's no telling
which way the fight will go.
303
00:41:39,297 --> 00:41:43,735
A few days later,
Olimba is resting up a tree
overlooking the gully.
304
00:41:50,508 --> 00:41:53,644
She's tired, but is finding
it hard to get comfortable.
305
00:41:58,316 --> 00:42:00,251
And there's a reason.
306
00:42:05,523 --> 00:42:08,393
She has a nasty gash
on her foot.
307
00:42:14,465 --> 00:42:17,335
A wound almost certainly
from another leopard.
308
00:42:34,819 --> 00:42:37,488
Kamuti is lying low.
309
00:42:39,090 --> 00:42:43,294
She may be old, but she's
still strong enough to have
injured her young rival.
310
00:42:53,771 --> 00:42:56,174
As she emerges
from her hideout,
311
00:42:56,174 --> 00:42:58,543
it's clear
she's in a lot of pain.
312
00:43:07,218 --> 00:43:10,087
She keeps licking
a deep wound on her back.
313
00:43:26,370 --> 00:43:30,308
Her movements are stiff and
she looks worryingly thin.
314
00:43:35,446 --> 00:43:37,849
It's not only her back
that's hurt.
315
00:43:37,849 --> 00:43:41,152
She has a serious injury
on her left hind leg.
316
00:43:45,623 --> 00:43:50,261
In her fight with Olimba,
Kamuti has definitely
come off worse.
317
00:43:56,234 --> 00:43:58,803
There's no chance
of hunting impala now.
318
00:44:00,338 --> 00:44:03,508
She has to make do
with whatever she can get.
319
00:44:08,779 --> 00:44:12,283
A mongoose
is hardly a prize meal.
320
00:44:20,791 --> 00:44:25,563
Secretions from anal glands
means mongoose
smell and taste foul.
321
00:44:40,378 --> 00:44:42,246
She badly needs to eat,
322
00:44:42,246 --> 00:44:45,583
but she can't keep
this unpalatable meal
down for long.
323
00:44:53,758 --> 00:44:59,564
Kamuti's age and experience
have lost out to
Olimba's youth and vigor.
324
00:45:17,481 --> 00:45:20,685
Leopards rarely live more
than 14 years in the wild.
325
00:45:24,121 --> 00:45:27,458
At 13,
Kamuti has had a good run.
326
00:45:31,095 --> 00:45:34,131
But now her journey
is coming to an end.
327
00:45:46,577 --> 00:45:48,579
(Thunder rumbles)
328
00:46:18,542 --> 00:46:20,344
A few weeks later,
329
00:46:20,344 --> 00:46:22,513
and the long dry season
is over.
330
00:46:25,216 --> 00:46:28,419
The rains transform
the Luangwa Valley
331
00:46:28,419 --> 00:46:30,655
into a lush, green paradise.
332
00:46:34,425 --> 00:46:38,429
There's a new queen of
these rich hunting grounds.
333
00:46:38,429 --> 00:46:40,464
Olimba reigns supreme.
334
00:46:46,103 --> 00:46:48,139
The impala have given birth
335
00:46:48,139 --> 00:46:51,175
and all the young fawns
are easy prey.
336
00:46:56,747 --> 00:46:59,650
Not only has Olimba
got the perfect territory...
337
00:47:01,218 --> 00:47:03,220
..she's also found a mate.
338
00:47:19,537 --> 00:47:22,306
As one leopard's story
comes to an end...
339
00:47:23,607 --> 00:47:26,544
..another's
is only just beginning.
