00:06Look at you, you crazy cat.
00:15That's delicious. Right, good morning everyone. Today I'm going to be taking
00:24the six lions out on a walk. That's Thor's group. The purpose of the walk today
00:31really is just to let the lions have some fun. The other purpose is for me to
00:36take some nice still pictures. Who wants to go walking?
00:43Oh my goodness gracious me. Oh my goodness gracious me. What's happening?
00:48What's happening? What's happening, guys?
01:01I'm sure you are unfit, Nej. I can hear you breathing a mile away.
01:25I don't know if you saw there, what's really interesting is the breathing. So the tongue
01:33going backwards and forwards in the mouth, pulsating or pumping. And basically that's how she's
01:41losing heat through the mouth. So they don't have sweat glands, guys. Not like us. And
01:48we will sweat and the breeze will blow on our skin, cool us down as the air currents blow
01:54on our skin and it evaporates, cools us down. They don't have that. So how do they lose
02:00heat? They lose it through their mouth and they lose it through their paws. So you'll
02:04often see in a track, here come the two boys, also having fun. So you'll often see in a track
02:19of a
02:21lion if it's a dry patch of sand. And if you have just caught the lion you'll see that the
02:30sand has
02:31moisture on it. Or you can see the way the moisture has formed in the sand and then you can
02:37see if a
02:38lion was sweating. It could have been, it can be nervous sweat or it could be sweat obviously because
02:46heat build up through energy expenditure. So there's a lot you can tell from a track.
02:54If you're an expert, a master tracker, I'm not. By no means am I a master tracker. And so these
03:02little
03:03subtleties of an individual who can track will be able to tell you all these telltale
03:10signs about the track of a lion. They will be able to tell you how fresh it is, whether the
03:17lion was
03:17walking, running, sweating, all of these little female, male, really, really incredible.
03:30Somebody's getting lovely smells all over.
03:40Oh, that's nice. That's one of the best parts of walking.
03:49Sniff, sniff, sniff. Oh, I can smell it from here. It's so divine.
03:53Oh, that's delicious.
04:04Everyone is having fun. I'm also having fun, by the way. It's a good exercise. It's good to just see
04:11the lions out and about doing whatever they want to do. The boys are clawing the trees, marking
04:16the bushes. The girls are running like lunatics, jumping on each other, chasing anything that moves.
04:23Even sticks and bushes. And it's just good fun. Good fun for everyone. And then, like that,
04:34they'll all be lying under a tree somewhere, thinking about the morning and how wonderful it's been.
04:42And that's, that's cool. Doesn't need to last long. It's not, it doesn't last forever. It's
04:49hour, hour and a half. And then, and then it's over. They're tired.
04:56Hey Nezji Pezji. Okay. Maybe Nez isn't tired. Nez has still got energy.
05:05Somebody apple and tarted.
05:08It's a lion, not any other animal. Very distinctive smell. When a lion farts, it's very distinctive.
05:17The smell of, of meat. That is an entirely meat diet. It has a very distinctive smell.
05:30Hard to describe. Very hard to describe. Not pleasant.
05:53I'm so sorry. I missed that. The lions are running through the water. Oh my gosh. I need a zoom
06:00lens on
06:01this camera. Let's move here. Move here. Out the way. Come on. Unless you're going to do something.
06:12They are having such fun in this water.
06:16And Charlie's not sure. What's going down here. But you can see somebody's been running in the mud.
06:33Look at you. Look at you, you crazy cat. Absolutely loving the water.
06:46Don't come push me in. Don't come push me in. No, I'm sitting on the ledge here my girl. I'm
06:52on the ledge.
07:00In the mud. Why don't you do a running, a running dive into the water here. There's the water there.
07:09Nice little water away here. The lions love it here. Mr. Big. You're also going to come swim.
07:29He's got more important things to do than to be goofy. One way to cool down. Very quick way to
07:37cool down.
07:38So panting is one way to cool down. Eesh. Dirty lion.
07:51So panting is one way to cool down. Another is to jump in the water. Jump in the lake.
08:00Now she's got a second wind. Definitely.
08:12Now she's going for round two.
08:25Eesh. Slam dunk in the mud.
08:28I need to get there. Let's go around.
08:42Sorry about the camera shadows guys. But I don't have any alternative.
08:52Nothing I can do. Move there. Oh.
08:58Nej. Hello.
09:02Nej.
09:06Are you going to go in?
09:25What is that? Found some old rubbish that's washed down this river. No. Oh man.
09:32That's just terrible to see.
09:36Guys. There is another example of plastic finding its way into these systems.
09:47That's just terrible to see. So that's a piece of plastic. Black plastic bag. It's found its way into
09:52this river system. Obviously washed down river when when this river was flooding. And
09:58uh yeah. These lions just find anything that's not natural. And kind of
10:07play with it. So she's really really enjoying this water guys.
10:13Yeah. Nej is not scared of the water or the mud.
10:18Yeah. She once was a white lion.
10:23Let's get it. I'm going to fall off this bloody ledge.
10:39I'm in the water again. Okay. I'm going to try and get it from the other side.
11:05I'm going to die.
11:18sorry guys I'm trying to get photos and video here
11:52so
12:15that
12:19nice
12:39okay I think she's had enough after
12:42the river so
12:45I'm just gonna go and chill in the shade there they're all chilling
12:49so I think she's gonna go and join them now
12:52enough fun in the pool
13:13look how dirty you are my girl
13:17yeah it used to be a white line now you're trying to camouflage
13:35bloody camera
13:36camera shadows
13:44so
13:49so
13:53Let's go.
14:20Let's go.
14:20Let's go.
14:50Nezhi has found the burrow.
14:55Now she's lost interest.
14:59She found this burrow and she was wanting to go in but I think she's a little bit nervous what
15:10she might find on the other side.
15:15Nezhi, you've been very, very up to mischief today, huh?
15:21Oh, spiderwebs.
15:24Spiderwebs.
15:31She just does not want to leave this river alone.
15:42Oh man, more blackjacks, spiderwebs.
16:06Come Gilly, let's go this way.
16:08Come.
16:29They still have energy.
16:33Unbelievable.
16:35So who would have thought that this river bed that's drying up would be the venue for so much entertainment
16:43for these lions?
16:45She's hiding behind the rock there.
16:49This is so awesome to see.
16:53Try and get a picture.
17:21No tea neige.
17:28She has had so much fun today.
17:30She has had so much fun today.
17:38Thank you, Nezhi.
17:39She's going to pose for me.
17:49Insane.
17:53Like little kids.
18:15Oh, stuck in the mud.
18:34Uh-uh.
18:38Uh-uh.
18:53All right, I think it's time to go home.
18:56I'm going to start heading back to home.
19:07Dirty cat.
19:10Come, this way.
19:13Oh, let's go.
19:26Yesterday.
19:28A mad cat.
19:30At least it's a bit of a slower pace.
19:33I'll walk back, but yet again, I'm not allowed to lead.
19:45At least they're not jumping on me today, so that's a plus because the kind of energy that they've got
19:54and all of them being full of mud wouldn't really end well.
20:00You can just visually see how content and happy they all look if they had human facial expressions.
20:10They'd all be smiling.
20:10In fact, I think you are smiling.
20:13Hey, guys.
20:16Yeah.
20:18Yeah.
20:20But you're all so tired that it doesn't take long before I overtake you.
20:26Hey.
20:26Hey.
20:27You've got your little bursts of energy.
20:32Little, little bursts of energy and then they, then they get tired.
20:38Are you going to go trundle through the bush?
20:40Oh, no, man.
20:42Okay.
20:43I'm going to, I'm going to stick to the road.
20:46See you on the other side.
20:49He doesn't realize this road hooks around, so I'm going to take the shortcut somewhere
20:55over there.
21:01It's incredible how quiet a line can be when it needs to be and how noisy.
21:12When it's having fun.
21:22All right, guys, so I hope you enjoyed that video and I really enjoyed making it.
21:27I especially enjoyed seeing Nez having such fun today.
