1
00:00:04,605 --> 00:00:06,005
Imagine a place
2
00:00:06,005 --> 00:00:08,485
where the world's most
endangered creatures
3
00:00:08,485 --> 00:00:10,765
can roam free.
4
00:00:10,765 --> 00:00:12,125
ELEPHANT TRUMPETS
5
00:00:12,125 --> 00:00:13,725
He's warming up his legs.
6
00:00:13,725 --> 00:00:16,125
Oh! There he goes.
CHUCKLING
7
00:00:16,125 --> 00:00:19,085
A vast wilderness...
8
00:00:19,085 --> 00:00:22,485
..brimming with the intimate dramas
of its inhabitants...
9
00:00:22,485 --> 00:00:24,805
LIONS ROAR
10
00:00:24,805 --> 00:00:28,845
..as they take their first steps,
learn to get along
11
00:00:28,845 --> 00:00:31,925
and confront their rivals.
12
00:00:31,925 --> 00:00:34,005
In the shadow of Mount Kenya,
13
00:00:34,005 --> 00:00:39,005
Ol Pejeta is one of the few untamed
places left on Earth.
14
00:00:39,005 --> 00:00:42,325
On Ol Pejeta, the wild really,
really is the wild.
15
00:00:44,405 --> 00:00:48,005
It's home to 13,000 animals...
16
00:00:48,005 --> 00:00:51,885
Let's get ready to rumble!
HE CHUCKLES
17
00:00:51,885 --> 00:00:54,605
..watched over by a dedicated team
of rangers...
18
00:00:54,605 --> 00:00:57,325
Just like you take care
of your kids, these are our kids.
19
00:00:57,325 --> 00:00:58,885
..who every day must decide
20
00:00:58,885 --> 00:01:01,885
if they should intervene
in a wild animal's life...
21
00:01:01,885 --> 00:01:04,685
Oh, I want to see
who will win on this.
22
00:01:04,685 --> 00:01:06,485
..or let nature take its course...
23
00:01:09,085 --> 00:01:13,845
..as these extraordinary creatures
strive to survive in the wild.
24
00:01:13,845 --> 00:01:15,485
He's up. There he goes.
25
00:01:16,885 --> 00:01:18,045
Nice.
26
00:01:35,285 --> 00:01:37,885
It's early morning at Ol Pejeta
27
00:01:37,885 --> 00:01:40,645
and the animals are scrubbing up
for the day ahead.
28
00:02:00,485 --> 00:02:02,565
For Mercy and Steve,
29
00:02:02,565 --> 00:02:04,885
finding someone on
this vast savannah plain
30
00:02:04,885 --> 00:02:06,485
can take some time...
31
00:02:08,605 --> 00:02:11,285
..especially when you're looking
for an animal
32
00:02:11,285 --> 00:02:14,125
that can run
at 70 kilometres per hour.
33
00:02:18,565 --> 00:02:20,485
Oh, yeah! Yeah?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
34
00:02:20,485 --> 00:02:22,725
I see it. I see it. There we go.
35
00:02:26,685 --> 00:02:28,925
Wow. He's off again.
36
00:02:36,085 --> 00:02:39,285
Cedric is definitely
a good-looking ostrich.
37
00:02:39,285 --> 00:02:42,725
Long, black wings with beautiful
white plumes at the end.
38
00:02:43,845 --> 00:02:46,645
Very flashy and well made-up
39
00:02:46,645 --> 00:02:47,925
and ready for breeding.
40
00:02:49,805 --> 00:02:52,285
The long, pink neck
41
00:02:52,285 --> 00:02:54,605
and it gets even more pink during
the breeding season.
42
00:02:57,125 --> 00:03:02,525
Teenager Cedric is one of just eight
ostriches left at Ol Pejeta
43
00:03:02,525 --> 00:03:06,325
from a flock
that once numbered over 80.
44
00:03:06,325 --> 00:03:08,045
Now he's old enough to mate,
45
00:03:08,045 --> 00:03:11,365
the rangers are hoping Cedric
may be the key
46
00:03:11,365 --> 00:03:13,205
to boosting the population.
47
00:03:19,085 --> 00:03:22,045
You see how men flex around women?
48
00:03:22,045 --> 00:03:23,845
I would say it's the same thing.
49
00:03:27,125 --> 00:03:29,405
But right now, the females say,
50
00:03:29,405 --> 00:03:31,925
"Ah, no. I'm not interested."
51
00:03:36,485 --> 00:03:38,005
He's right over there.
52
00:03:38,005 --> 00:03:40,325
Can you see him? Yeah, Cedric.
53
00:03:40,325 --> 00:03:43,285
So far, Cedric's advances
have been rebuffed.
54
00:03:44,245 --> 00:03:45,965
Today, he's trying his luck
55
00:03:45,965 --> 00:03:49,085
with one of the last remaining
and oldest females...
56
00:03:50,205 --> 00:03:52,445
..his own Mrs Robinson.
57
00:03:59,405 --> 00:04:02,325
Koki is just really beautiful
to look at.
58
00:04:02,325 --> 00:04:03,885
She has beautiful eyelashes.
59
00:04:03,885 --> 00:04:05,085
SHE LAUGHS
60
00:04:06,125 --> 00:04:07,605
She just keeps blinking.
61
00:04:08,725 --> 00:04:11,165
She's just an independent lady.
62
00:04:11,165 --> 00:04:14,285
A woman who...who knows
what she wants.
63
00:04:16,125 --> 00:04:17,405
She's the more experienced,
64
00:04:17,405 --> 00:04:19,725
so it's going to be a little bit
of luck
65
00:04:19,725 --> 00:04:21,565
if Cedric is going to win her over.
66
00:04:27,485 --> 00:04:29,165
Like any other bird,
67
00:04:29,165 --> 00:04:31,445
the males dance to impress
the females.
68
00:04:34,485 --> 00:04:38,245
Cedric tries to spiral his head
all the way down
69
00:04:38,245 --> 00:04:41,165
and that's actually, you know,
copied by a lot of African cultures.
70
00:04:41,165 --> 00:04:43,445
I mean, it's called
a Chini Kwa Chini dance.
71
00:04:45,125 --> 00:04:47,485
It's a lot of effort for them
to do that,
72
00:04:47,485 --> 00:04:49,845
but Koki's not that easily
impressed.
73
00:04:52,645 --> 00:04:54,405
Has that dance worked on you?
74
00:04:54,405 --> 00:04:55,965
SHE LAUGHS
75
00:04:55,965 --> 00:04:57,125
Have had I had success
76
00:04:57,125 --> 00:05:00,845
with the Chini Kwa Chini dance?
Oh, yes. Yes, yes, yes.
77
00:05:00,845 --> 00:05:02,565
Another story for another day.
78
00:05:04,605 --> 00:05:08,205
But Cedric's moves don't seem
to be working on Koki.
79
00:05:09,565 --> 00:05:12,045
Though, he's not giving up just yet.
80
00:05:13,365 --> 00:05:16,525
Cedric must keep dancing
until Koki is impressed.
81
00:05:19,845 --> 00:05:22,845
When she's impressed,
she drops her feathers down.
82
00:05:26,485 --> 00:05:29,925
Cedric will flap his wings
really, really strongly...
83
00:05:32,885 --> 00:05:36,005
..to just, you know,
announce his presence.
84
00:05:46,165 --> 00:05:47,285
Wow.
85
00:05:49,125 --> 00:05:51,125
I can't believe it.
86
00:05:51,125 --> 00:05:52,445
Amazing.
87
00:05:54,725 --> 00:05:57,885
Really excited that finally Cedric
impressed Koki enough
88
00:05:57,885 --> 00:05:59,365
and they're together.
89
00:06:02,925 --> 00:06:05,445
But Cedric still has
a lot of work to do
90
00:06:05,445 --> 00:06:08,325
to save the ostrich population
at Ol Pejeta.
91
00:06:09,765 --> 00:06:12,285
We had so many
and now we have so little.
92
00:06:12,285 --> 00:06:14,805
We would hate to lose ostriches.
93
00:06:14,805 --> 00:06:16,205
That would be a disaster.
94
00:06:18,245 --> 00:06:21,205
If we don't find a solution
to this situation,
95
00:06:21,205 --> 00:06:23,085
I would feel I have lost.
96
00:06:36,005 --> 00:06:39,085
For animals,
it is survival for the fittest.
97
00:06:39,085 --> 00:06:41,005
So, if you are injured,
98
00:06:41,005 --> 00:06:44,605
if you're sick or unable to keep up
with the herd,
99
00:06:44,605 --> 00:06:48,125
you'll be left and you'll be eaten.
100
00:06:48,125 --> 00:06:50,405
That's why we call it the wild.
101
00:06:54,725 --> 00:06:58,605
We try to leave wildlife to its own
devices as best we can,
102
00:06:58,605 --> 00:07:00,165
because it's not a zoo.
103
00:07:02,685 --> 00:07:03,925
This is nature.
104
00:07:06,165 --> 00:07:08,485
There's one animal at Ol Pejeta
105
00:07:08,485 --> 00:07:10,805
who has survived
the dangers of the wild
106
00:07:10,805 --> 00:07:11,845
longer than most.
107
00:07:14,645 --> 00:07:18,165
Sior is one of the oldest lionesses
on the savannah
108
00:07:18,165 --> 00:07:21,645
and has raised eleven cubs
against the odds.
109
00:07:24,725 --> 00:07:27,045
Sior is very tough.
110
00:07:27,045 --> 00:07:29,885
She's known to protect her cubs
at all costs.
111
00:07:31,205 --> 00:07:36,005
She lost her tail in a big,
brutal fight defending her cubs.
112
00:07:37,525 --> 00:07:39,125
Sior leads a pride,
113
00:07:39,125 --> 00:07:41,645
which includes her two sisters
and their children.
114
00:07:44,605 --> 00:07:47,445
She also recently gave birth
to three of her own cubs...
115
00:07:48,685 --> 00:07:51,245
..leaving her with more on her plate
than usual.
116
00:07:56,085 --> 00:08:00,445
So, the lions are still hiding.
We can see them.
117
00:08:00,445 --> 00:08:01,685
Using their radio collars,
118
00:08:01,685 --> 00:08:03,685
Nelson keeps track of the pride.
119
00:08:05,045 --> 00:08:08,205
Today, he's checking up
on its newest members.
120
00:08:09,405 --> 00:08:10,685
I love lions.
121
00:08:11,805 --> 00:08:14,325
They are like family to me.
122
00:08:15,485 --> 00:08:18,285
I've tracked them for six years now.
123
00:08:20,765 --> 00:08:23,965
Sior's triplets, Kim, Chloe
and Junior,
124
00:08:23,965 --> 00:08:25,725
are just three months old.
125
00:08:25,725 --> 00:08:30,045
Still suckling and reliant on
their mum for their every need.
126
00:08:33,045 --> 00:08:36,325
Sior is very patient with her cubs,
127
00:08:36,325 --> 00:08:38,925
even when she appears tired.
128
00:08:38,925 --> 00:08:40,285
Similar to my mum,
129
00:08:40,285 --> 00:08:42,205
who was very kind, caring,
130
00:08:42,205 --> 00:08:44,205
you know, taking care of us.
131
00:08:50,685 --> 00:08:53,445
Junior seems to be the brave one.
132
00:08:53,445 --> 00:08:54,805
SHE GROWLS
133
00:08:55,845 --> 00:08:56,965
A bit cheeky.
134
00:08:58,125 --> 00:08:59,645
He doesn't have limits.
135
00:09:03,245 --> 00:09:05,805
The cubs that show more braveness,
136
00:09:05,805 --> 00:09:07,605
they have a higher chance
of survival.
137
00:09:09,245 --> 00:09:11,565
The first time you find them
with cubs,
138
00:09:11,565 --> 00:09:13,645
we get a glimpse of hope
139
00:09:13,645 --> 00:09:16,725
that the population of lions
is going to go up.
140
00:09:19,005 --> 00:09:21,925
Only one in five cubs
make it to adulthood.
141
00:09:23,525 --> 00:09:24,645
To grow stronger,
142
00:09:24,645 --> 00:09:27,485
the triplets need
to start eating solid food.
143
00:09:28,485 --> 00:09:30,525
But too young to hunt,
144
00:09:30,525 --> 00:09:34,045
Sior must leave them alone while
she goes out in search of prey.
145
00:09:43,565 --> 00:09:47,285
Lions would hunt any animal,
given the chance.
146
00:09:48,645 --> 00:09:51,285
So, this just means that
you go around
147
00:09:51,285 --> 00:09:53,885
creating enemies everywhere you go.
148
00:10:04,645 --> 00:10:07,325
A buffalo has just turned up.
149
00:10:07,325 --> 00:10:10,685
It looks like he's picked up
the scent of the lions.
150
00:10:14,245 --> 00:10:17,085
Buffaloes and lions
are mortal enemies.
151
00:10:20,445 --> 00:10:21,765
HE GROWLS
152
00:10:21,765 --> 00:10:23,485
Buffaloes are clever.
153
00:10:23,485 --> 00:10:27,325
They know very well that lions are
the guys who are going to eat us
154
00:10:27,325 --> 00:10:29,085
when they grow up,
155
00:10:29,085 --> 00:10:32,725
so the best thing is to eliminate
them while they're still young.
156
00:10:34,205 --> 00:10:36,805
They'll chase the cubs
and they'll kill them.
157
00:10:38,925 --> 00:10:42,565
So, we can see the buffalo stops
and lifts his head
158
00:10:42,565 --> 00:10:46,525
to try and get wind of
the direction of the lions.
159
00:10:49,205 --> 00:10:51,685
A buffalo's keen sense of smell
160
00:10:51,685 --> 00:10:54,805
can detect a lion
from over a mile away.
161
00:10:55,965 --> 00:10:57,605
Unaware of the threat,
162
00:10:57,605 --> 00:10:59,845
Junior leaves his hiding place.
163
00:11:13,925 --> 00:11:17,325
As more buffalo
pick up the cubs' scent,
164
00:11:17,325 --> 00:11:19,805
Junior's sisters, Kim and Chloe,
165
00:11:19,805 --> 00:11:21,525
come looking for their brother.
166
00:11:31,685 --> 00:11:33,645
Sior, returning from the hunt,
167
00:11:33,645 --> 00:11:35,165
must act fast.
168
00:11:36,325 --> 00:11:38,565
But has a tough decision to make.
169
00:11:39,445 --> 00:11:41,085
Sior knows very well
170
00:11:41,085 --> 00:11:45,445
that buffaloes are definitely
more powerful than her,
171
00:11:45,445 --> 00:11:47,765
but she has to be clever here.
172
00:11:47,765 --> 00:11:49,405
There are more
and more buffaloes coming.
173
00:11:50,965 --> 00:11:53,245
Is she gonna defend herself
or the cubs?
174
00:11:58,285 --> 00:12:01,885
Sior puts herself between her cubs
and the buffalo herd.
175
00:12:15,445 --> 00:12:18,165
But she can only hold them off
for so long.
176
00:12:18,165 --> 00:12:19,925
SHE SNARLS
177
00:12:27,765 --> 00:12:31,765
In the confusion, Sior,
her cubs and the pride scatter.
178
00:12:43,125 --> 00:12:45,565
This is a very intense moment.
179
00:12:45,565 --> 00:12:49,045
Sior can just hope that the cubs
have taken cover,
180
00:12:49,045 --> 00:12:50,765
have been able to hide.
181
00:12:53,045 --> 00:12:55,685
But we just hope that,
you know, they make it.
182
00:12:55,685 --> 00:12:57,125
We just hope they make it.
183
00:13:07,170 --> 00:13:10,930
For all species, securing future
generations is vital.
184
00:13:12,090 --> 00:13:16,530
For Africa's rapidly decreasing lion
population, every cub matters.
185
00:13:22,530 --> 00:13:24,010
Since the buffalo stampede,
186
00:13:24,010 --> 00:13:26,970
there has been no
sign of Junior or his sisters.
187
00:13:30,810 --> 00:13:35,970
So... Right over there, we can see
a lot of buffalo footprints.
188
00:13:37,570 --> 00:13:42,050
The ground was... Had a lot of mud,
like there was a stampede.
189
00:13:42,050 --> 00:13:45,250
We are not sure
whether the lion cubs have survived.
190
00:13:45,250 --> 00:13:47,690
From the situation, it's quite ugly.
191
00:13:55,330 --> 00:13:59,650
I have been tracking Sior.
We followed her for nearly 3km.
192
00:14:04,330 --> 00:14:05,970
She is trying to find her cubs.
193
00:14:05,970 --> 00:14:07,690
SHE WHINES
194
00:14:10,650 --> 00:14:15,010
There's a sound she started
producing, calling the cubs.
195
00:14:15,010 --> 00:14:16,290
SHE CALLS
196
00:14:17,690 --> 00:14:19,930
CUB RESPONDS
197
00:14:23,490 --> 00:14:28,250
I think Sior has gone
just behind the bush over there.
198
00:14:36,010 --> 00:14:38,530
Eventually, Sior finds
one of her daughters,
199
00:14:38,530 --> 00:14:40,770
Kim.
200
00:14:42,570 --> 00:14:45,690
She was still not dead.
She tried licking her up.
201
00:14:59,490 --> 00:15:02,530
But it was too late.
202
00:15:08,690 --> 00:15:13,010
It's really heartbreaking.
She needs to be strong.
203
00:15:19,570 --> 00:15:21,290
CUB CALLS
204
00:15:23,610 --> 00:15:25,970
CUB CALLS
205
00:15:32,890 --> 00:15:35,210
Then Junior came running.
206
00:15:35,210 --> 00:15:40,370
It was a wild moment for me because
if you look around the stampede
207
00:15:40,370 --> 00:15:45,010
that was there, you cannot believe
that anybody survived.
208
00:15:56,050 --> 00:15:58,530
But Junior's sister Chloe
is nowhere to be seen.
209
00:16:00,810 --> 00:16:03,930
And with the buffalo still in the
area, Sior has to make a decision.
210
00:16:06,730 --> 00:16:08,770
It was getting dark.
211
00:16:08,770 --> 00:16:13,570
And she knew that the life
of the health cub meant everything
212
00:16:13,570 --> 00:16:14,690
to her at this moment.
213
00:16:17,210 --> 00:16:21,530
And she had to make her way
back to the pride.
214
00:16:27,130 --> 00:16:32,250
It's a very sad day for me
to witness her struggling.
215
00:16:33,890 --> 00:16:38,970
The lions are part of my family.
Sior is a friend to me.
216
00:16:38,970 --> 00:16:41,250
I've known her for the past
six years.
217
00:16:43,730 --> 00:16:47,450
I can see a mother that has just
had the worst day of her life.
218
00:17:12,290 --> 00:17:16,210
When a species is under threat,
or an animal in trouble,
219
00:17:16,210 --> 00:17:18,010
it can also be
horrid for the rangers.
220
00:17:20,370 --> 00:17:25,490
It's really a deep connection.
You're playing the role of a mother.
221
00:17:28,210 --> 00:17:32,570
The naughty... The naughty one.
The very naughty boy.
222
00:17:32,570 --> 00:17:34,330
To me, come on, hey.
223
00:17:44,770 --> 00:17:47,610
You get to know the animal
characters over time.
224
00:17:47,610 --> 00:17:50,330
But you can't afford to get
too attached.
225
00:17:50,330 --> 00:17:52,890
These are wild animals.
226
00:18:08,890 --> 00:18:12,010
We're heading out to check
the ostrich nest.
227
00:18:12,010 --> 00:18:16,730
Let's hope that we find something.
Fingers crossed. Fingers crossed.
228
00:18:16,730 --> 00:18:19,490
It's been over two weeks
since ostriches Cedric
229
00:18:19,490 --> 00:18:22,330
and Koki were seen hitting it off.
230
00:18:22,330 --> 00:18:24,930
This morning,
the rangers are heading out to see
231
00:18:24,930 --> 00:18:27,690
if the pairing has yielded more
than just romance.
232
00:18:39,770 --> 00:18:40,770
No, no!
233
00:18:48,330 --> 00:18:52,370
Oh, my God! Ooh, I think there are
more than eight!
234
00:18:52,370 --> 00:18:57,570
That's one, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
235
00:18:57,570 --> 00:18:58,850
11,
236
00:18:58,850 --> 00:19:01,730
12, 13.
237
00:19:01,730 --> 00:19:03,570
Oh, my word!
238
00:19:03,570 --> 00:19:06,170
OK, this is great!
SHE LAUGHS
239
00:19:07,690 --> 00:19:11,290
13 eggs... I can't believe it!
240
00:19:11,290 --> 00:19:15,290
The odds that Cedric and Koki
had had to go through for them
241
00:19:15,290 --> 00:19:18,570
to get 13, amazing.
242
00:19:18,570 --> 00:19:21,810
No-one won the bet, so I'm happy
that I won't be doing the dance.
243
00:19:21,810 --> 00:19:24,090
Really?
LAUGHTER
244
00:19:26,010 --> 00:19:28,930
Weighing as much as 12
chicken eggs each,
245
00:19:28,930 --> 00:19:32,290
these are the first ostrich eggs
seen at Ol Pejeta in months.
246
00:19:34,290 --> 00:19:37,930
But producing the next generation
still hangs in the balance.
247
00:19:37,930 --> 00:19:41,010
No chicks have
survived for several seasons
248
00:19:41,010 --> 00:19:42,610
and the rangers need to know why.
249
00:19:44,450 --> 00:19:46,890
We're putting cameras next
to where the eggs are.
250
00:19:46,890 --> 00:19:50,130
We want to know exactly what happens
251
00:19:50,130 --> 00:19:53,450
and answer why we are
still losing them.
252
00:19:53,450 --> 00:19:56,490
Koki and Cedric will both be
under scrutiny.
253
00:19:59,250 --> 00:20:01,650
For a species that's
millions of years old,
254
00:20:01,650 --> 00:20:06,050
the ostriches are no dinosaurs when
it comes to equal opportunities,
255
00:20:06,050 --> 00:20:08,730
with both parents sharing incubation
and guard duties.
256
00:20:21,850 --> 00:20:26,170
It will be a huge shame if the eggs
are not able to survive to maturity.
257
00:20:51,730 --> 00:20:54,890
Many animals rely on strength
in numbers to help
258
00:20:54,890 --> 00:20:57,730
insure their survival,
including baboons.
259
00:20:58,810 --> 00:21:00,210
But this morning,
260
00:21:00,210 --> 00:21:04,530
Ranger Steve has been tracking an
individual who he's seen out alone.
261
00:21:06,810 --> 00:21:11,170
I'm looking for a baboon, a male,
a big male baboon
262
00:21:11,170 --> 00:21:12,770
that we have named Oscar.
263
00:21:15,690 --> 00:21:19,370
He's very easy to
tell from the other males
264
00:21:19,370 --> 00:21:23,690
because he lost the arm,
almost to the joint.
265
00:21:29,010 --> 00:21:31,730
After losing an arm
in a fight for dominance,
266
00:21:31,730 --> 00:21:35,050
Oscar was shunned by his last troop.
267
00:21:35,050 --> 00:21:38,650
I feel sorry for Oscar.
268
00:21:38,650 --> 00:21:43,370
It's very risky being a lone baboon,
out in the plains.
269
00:21:45,210 --> 00:21:48,730
His best chance of survival
is to find another of Ol Pejeta's
270
00:21:48,730 --> 00:21:50,730
five troops to accept him.
271
00:21:54,370 --> 00:21:56,650
Today,
he's arrived at one of the largest.
272
00:22:00,210 --> 00:22:05,170
But like all baboons, this
group of 120 are wary of outsiders.
273
00:22:07,290 --> 00:22:09,210
You cannot just come
and join a group...
274
00:22:11,490 --> 00:22:13,930
..because you don't know how
the others will react.
275
00:22:15,450 --> 00:22:21,370
He has a big task ahead of him
to get himself accepted.
276
00:22:21,370 --> 00:22:23,050
It's going to be tough.
277
00:22:25,410 --> 00:22:28,050
For now,
Oscar watches from the sidelines,
278
00:22:28,050 --> 00:22:32,490
as the group engage
in their favourite bonding activity.
279
00:22:35,330 --> 00:22:40,090
Grooming really enhances the social
bonding in a baboon's troop.
280
00:22:43,010 --> 00:22:47,050
It's very intimate. The baboon being
groomed is so relaxed.
281
00:22:47,050 --> 00:22:51,370
You find them closing their eyes
and stretching their limbs.
282
00:22:53,970 --> 00:22:57,650
That feeling you feel, you're having
a warm shower after a very
283
00:22:57,650 --> 00:23:00,530
tough day is the same they feel
when they are being groomed.
284
00:23:04,130 --> 00:23:08,450
With the baboons at their most
relaxed, Oscar makes his move.
285
00:23:14,890 --> 00:23:19,410
And quickly, a female approaches him
in the hope of a gentle caress.
286
00:23:24,730 --> 00:23:28,170
He just touches them
and then stopped it
287
00:23:28,170 --> 00:23:32,850
and because Oscar is losing the arm,
he cannot really groom.
288
00:23:34,650 --> 00:23:38,970
So they say, "OK, if you are not
grooming me, I'll not groom you."
289
00:23:42,330 --> 00:23:45,170
Is it seen as rude
if you don't groom? It is.
290
00:23:45,170 --> 00:23:46,690
It is very rude
291
00:23:46,690 --> 00:23:50,530
because it's always like...
I groom you, you groom me.
292
00:23:54,250 --> 00:23:57,370
Oscar's inability to take
part seems to have angered
293
00:23:57,370 --> 00:23:58,690
some of the troop's males.
294
00:24:06,770 --> 00:24:09,610
In a show of dominance,
one of them attempts to mount him.
295
00:24:12,730 --> 00:24:15,970
A male mate another male...
Like fake mating.
296
00:24:17,730 --> 00:24:20,450
To intimidate the other male,
to tell him,
297
00:24:20,450 --> 00:24:25,410
"OK, I'm more senior than you.
Please respect me."
298
00:24:29,010 --> 00:24:31,650
But Oscar stands his ground.
299
00:24:33,890 --> 00:24:36,330
And the intimidation escalates.
300
00:24:43,290 --> 00:24:46,010
Fights in baboons can get
so violent.
301
00:24:48,650 --> 00:24:51,210
They've been known to
kill each other.
302
00:24:51,210 --> 00:24:53,450
LOUD SCREECHING AND BARKING
303
00:25:04,770 --> 00:25:07,290
SCREECHING AND BARKING
304
00:25:13,050 --> 00:25:15,490
He has nowhere to go,
he has no troop to join.
305
00:25:18,610 --> 00:25:20,610
It's that moment of life you get
306
00:25:20,610 --> 00:25:24,450
and he has no choice
to stand his ground.
307
00:25:24,450 --> 00:25:25,890
He has to fight back.
308
00:25:28,810 --> 00:25:31,970
He has to prove by all means that -
309
00:25:31,970 --> 00:25:36,850
I should be accepted as a new
member of this troop.
310
00:25:53,090 --> 00:25:57,490
The buffalo herd that attacked
Sior's cubs have moved on.
311
00:25:57,490 --> 00:26:02,770
She's returned to search for her
missing cub, Junior's sister, Chloe.
312
00:26:02,770 --> 00:26:05,130
CUB CRIES
313
00:26:07,130 --> 00:26:09,850
Hearing her cry,
Junior leaves his mum's side.
314
00:26:11,530 --> 00:26:13,210
CUB CRIES
315
00:26:17,850 --> 00:26:22,170
There was the other sister, Chloe,
who was in real pain.
316
00:26:23,250 --> 00:26:27,170
She was dragging, you know,
her hind legs.
317
00:26:27,170 --> 00:26:31,170
And she was in a very,
very bad shape.
318
00:26:31,170 --> 00:26:33,650
CRIES
319
00:26:38,570 --> 00:26:40,850
She's trying to walk
towards the mother.
320
00:26:42,730 --> 00:26:43,970
But she can't.
321
00:27:00,730 --> 00:27:03,450
Unaware how badly injured Chloe is,
322
00:27:03,450 --> 00:27:06,250
Sior tries to lead her back
to the safety of the pride.
323
00:27:19,410 --> 00:27:21,690
SHE CRIES
324
00:27:39,490 --> 00:27:41,490
The rangers track Sior and the cubs
325
00:27:41,490 --> 00:27:43,770
until they reach
the rest of their family.
326
00:27:49,290 --> 00:27:55,370
I think we've got less than 12
hours before that cub succumbs
327
00:27:55,370 --> 00:27:56,730
to its injuries.
328
00:27:59,290 --> 00:28:04,490
This is the saddest moment
I've ever experienced.
329
00:28:15,490 --> 00:28:21,370
It must be very tough for Sior.
She needs to be strong.
330
00:28:21,370 --> 00:28:23,250
She's still the leader of the group.
331
00:28:26,770 --> 00:28:29,010
But every animal would mourn.
332
00:28:31,970 --> 00:28:36,290
Just have to sit tight
and see what happens.
333
00:28:55,130 --> 00:28:57,810
Out on Ol Pejeta's open savannah,
334
00:28:57,810 --> 00:29:02,610
cameras have been keeping watch
on Cedric, Koki and their 13 eggs.
335
00:29:07,170 --> 00:29:09,770
Mercy and Steve are going
to check up on them.
336
00:29:11,850 --> 00:29:14,530
We haven't seen Cedric in a while,
or Koki either.
337
00:29:16,050 --> 00:29:18,930
Really looking forward to what
we are going to find today.
338
00:29:21,170 --> 00:29:23,730
Oh, my God. No. What?
339
00:29:34,370 --> 00:29:35,970
Oh, my God.
340
00:29:37,850 --> 00:29:40,090
This is devastating.
341
00:29:41,610 --> 00:29:44,090
It was just... My heart sank.
342
00:29:44,090 --> 00:29:46,850
I knew that that was
a whole generation.
343
00:29:49,090 --> 00:29:51,090
We've just lost them.
344
00:29:54,370 --> 00:29:57,930
What do you think?
This looks like... A buffalo?
Yeah. It looks fresh.
345
00:29:57,930 --> 00:30:01,730
Whatever happened there,
I mean, it just seemed chaotic.
346
00:30:01,730 --> 00:30:03,970
Let's see who did this.
347
00:30:08,410 --> 00:30:12,370
At night, Cedric should be in charge
of guarding the nest
348
00:30:12,370 --> 00:30:15,330
with his dark plumage
acting as camouflage.
349
00:30:26,570 --> 00:30:28,890
Typical teenage dad. Typical.
350
00:30:28,890 --> 00:30:31,570
You would expect him to be
staying with the eggs,
351
00:30:31,570 --> 00:30:34,290
but he just wants to be
out somewhere with ladies,
352
00:30:34,290 --> 00:30:36,530
partying and having fun.
353
00:30:38,850 --> 00:30:41,530
Cedric is busy. Don't do that.
354
00:30:44,130 --> 00:30:45,690
Where's Cedric?
355
00:30:50,570 --> 00:30:52,170
A jackal.
356
00:30:57,010 --> 00:31:00,090
Buffaloes? Yeah, buffaloes.
It's curious.
357
00:31:01,690 --> 00:31:03,930
What is this? Oh, no.
358
00:31:06,370 --> 00:31:08,610
Oh, wow. They didn't do anything.
359
00:31:11,570 --> 00:31:13,130
Who is that?
360
00:31:14,450 --> 00:31:17,970
That's a hyena. No doubt about it.
It's a striped hyena. Yeah.
361
00:31:20,690 --> 00:31:23,170
It seems like she had a feast.
362
00:31:26,490 --> 00:31:29,050
We might have to actually
get them somewhere else
363
00:31:29,050 --> 00:31:31,650
if they are going to be
successful. Yeah. Yeah.
364
00:31:33,130 --> 00:31:37,130
Despite the rangers' approach of
allowing nature to take its course,
365
00:31:37,130 --> 00:31:41,690
Ol Pejeta does have a special area
fenced off from predators.
366
00:31:44,730 --> 00:31:47,850
We want to save them,
at least the few that we have left.
367
00:31:47,850 --> 00:31:50,570
And that's why we are
just going to move them
368
00:31:50,570 --> 00:31:53,250
into another free area
that's predator proof.
369
00:31:53,250 --> 00:31:57,210
This is literally the last attempt
before we lose them completely
370
00:31:57,210 --> 00:31:59,850
at the conservancy
and we don't want to do that.
371
00:32:03,770 --> 00:32:08,290
For the rangers, the life
of every young animal is valued.
372
00:32:08,290 --> 00:32:11,410
Since Sira and her
three cubs were attacked,
373
00:32:11,410 --> 00:32:15,010
there has been no sign
of critically injured Chloe.
374
00:32:17,930 --> 00:32:20,210
I can see some of them are there.
375
00:32:22,170 --> 00:32:26,170
I could not see the injured cub.
We are very worried about her.
376
00:32:27,610 --> 00:32:29,930
The rangers are following Sira
377
00:32:29,930 --> 00:32:32,730
and Junior in the hope
of any sighting of Chloe.
378
00:32:35,050 --> 00:32:36,970
Mother and child.
379
00:32:44,010 --> 00:32:45,930
I think she's back.
380
00:32:47,890 --> 00:32:49,650
That should be OK.
381
00:32:58,410 --> 00:33:00,410
It's a very happy moment.
382
00:33:02,690 --> 00:33:05,530
To see the cub walking
and alive is pretty amazing.
383
00:33:05,530 --> 00:33:07,370
Something very exceptional.
384
00:33:09,250 --> 00:33:11,490
This is a one in a billion chance.
385
00:33:27,210 --> 00:33:29,690
The cub has got the spirit of Sira.
386
00:33:31,130 --> 00:33:32,930
Very strong and resilient.
387
00:33:39,570 --> 00:33:43,130
It's the kind of spirit
that you need to make it,
388
00:33:43,130 --> 00:33:45,370
living in the wilderness.
389
00:34:11,450 --> 00:34:13,370
It's 7:00am.
390
00:34:13,370 --> 00:34:18,690
A lone hyena is on the prowl looking
for any weaker animals to prey on.
391
00:34:21,770 --> 00:34:25,010
Hyenas are very
opportunistic animals.
392
00:34:27,570 --> 00:34:30,970
But they will hunt
when conditions demand.
393
00:34:32,530 --> 00:34:35,890
He arrives at the edge
of baboon territory.
394
00:34:40,210 --> 00:34:45,210
Oscar, still alone and injured,
spots him and raises the alarm.
395
00:34:55,730 --> 00:35:00,690
The hyena is a potential threat,
especially to the infant baboons.
396
00:35:06,250 --> 00:35:08,730
The baboons scatter for the trees.
397
00:35:11,170 --> 00:35:13,410
Apart from one.
398
00:35:14,610 --> 00:35:16,930
It was very surprising to me.
399
00:35:16,930 --> 00:35:20,690
I would expect that Oscar would
have been the first to run away.
400
00:35:22,570 --> 00:35:26,130
Oscar realises this
is my one golden chance...
401
00:35:28,410 --> 00:35:32,970
..to prove that I'm capable
of being a member of the troop.
402
00:35:47,890 --> 00:35:51,650
It was such a massive risk
that he decided to take.
403
00:35:56,730 --> 00:35:59,250
He is in a very vulnerable position.
404
00:36:21,930 --> 00:36:27,010
You can see him getting some respect
because now they think,
405
00:36:27,010 --> 00:36:30,410
"Oh, we thought this guy
is weak, but he's good.
406
00:36:32,450 --> 00:36:35,730
"Because you see now he has
protected us from the predator."
407
00:36:47,450 --> 00:36:50,330
The most vulnerable of
Ol Pejeta's species
408
00:36:50,330 --> 00:36:53,290
need more than reliance on an
individual to protect them.
409
00:36:56,650 --> 00:37:00,450
Today, the rangers are planning to
step in and move Cedric and Koki
410
00:37:00,450 --> 00:37:05,170
to the predator proof enclosure
where they can lay eggs in safety.
411
00:37:09,530 --> 00:37:12,810
But catching an ostrich
is no simple matter.
412
00:37:16,410 --> 00:37:19,730
We are chasing an animal that
can run 70km per hour.
413
00:37:21,690 --> 00:37:23,450
So good luck with that!
414
00:37:26,330 --> 00:37:28,570
Now, let's go and get some action.
415
00:37:41,330 --> 00:37:43,290
Oh! He's warming up his legs.
416
00:37:44,690 --> 00:37:46,490
Oh, there he goes!
417
00:37:46,490 --> 00:37:49,450
It would get a speeding ticket!
418
00:37:52,090 --> 00:37:55,170
Nearly twice the speed
of Usain Bolt,
419
00:37:55,170 --> 00:37:58,810
Cedric is the fastest thing
on two legs on the plains.
420
00:38:00,050 --> 00:38:02,330
Nature 1, man 0.
421
00:38:02,330 --> 00:38:04,050
We lost.
422
00:38:04,050 --> 00:38:07,010
Outmanoeuvred, the rangers
turn their attention
423
00:38:07,010 --> 00:38:09,810
to Cedric's more mature partner,
Koki.
424
00:38:22,250 --> 00:38:24,610
She seems to have taken a hit.
425
00:38:27,610 --> 00:38:30,690
The drug seems to have taken effect.
426
00:38:30,690 --> 00:38:35,010
But even with the tranquilliser,
Koki is no pushover.
427
00:38:36,370 --> 00:38:37,970
She's escaping!
428
00:38:39,730 --> 00:38:42,170
I want to see who will win this.
429
00:38:42,170 --> 00:38:44,410
My bet is on the ostrich.
430
00:38:47,090 --> 00:38:49,010
Koki! Koki!
431
00:38:50,610 --> 00:38:52,210
Koki's down.
432
00:39:00,370 --> 00:39:04,010
You'd say this is a brutal
kind of procedure,
433
00:39:04,010 --> 00:39:07,610
but it was quite important
because without doing this
434
00:39:07,610 --> 00:39:11,490
we cannot be guaranteed
of more ostriches in the wild.
435
00:39:26,370 --> 00:39:28,810
It's raining a little bit. Oh, no.
436
00:39:30,210 --> 00:39:33,730
We successfully managed
to get Koki in the safe area.
437
00:39:38,210 --> 00:39:43,450
The heavens just opened
and it just poured so hard.
438
00:39:47,610 --> 00:39:50,650
A lot of rain
and the operation had to be stopped.
439
00:40:00,130 --> 00:40:02,490
We were not able to get Cedric
440
00:40:02,490 --> 00:40:06,810
and what's really sad is Koki
will have to spend the night alone.
441
00:40:08,530 --> 00:40:11,690
We don't want to be responsible
for breaking such a strong bond
442
00:40:11,690 --> 00:40:13,970
and we don't want him
to lose interest.
443
00:40:15,370 --> 00:40:18,450
He might disappear and wander off
to find other females
444
00:40:18,450 --> 00:40:20,930
and that would be devastating.
445
00:40:40,055 --> 00:40:42,375
The animals at Ol Pejeta are
getting ready
446
00:40:42,375 --> 00:40:44,295
for another day in the wild.
447
00:40:47,175 --> 00:40:50,135
This morning, baboon Oscar
is on his own again.
448
00:40:52,615 --> 00:40:54,535
But not for long.
449
00:41:01,735 --> 00:41:06,055
We have seen several times
the females coming to Oscar.
450
00:41:09,215 --> 00:41:13,735
They like Oscar because he's
massive, he's a big male baboon.
451
00:41:16,015 --> 00:41:20,095
After fighting off the hyena, Oscar
is beginning to reap the rewards
452
00:41:20,095 --> 00:41:24,415
of his bravery and finally seems to
have been accepted by the troop.
453
00:41:25,935 --> 00:41:30,255
You're a hero. You've defended us.
You've protected our family.
454
00:41:31,935 --> 00:41:34,615
Yeah, we find him being groomed.
455
00:41:40,775 --> 00:41:42,575
You see he's very relaxed.
456
00:41:43,975 --> 00:41:46,215
Feels like a hero and a king.
457
00:41:54,295 --> 00:41:57,055
Because he's strong,
he can really fight,
458
00:41:57,055 --> 00:41:59,695
and maybe in the future,
he might be leading the group.
459
00:42:11,415 --> 00:42:14,975
The day after her capture, Koki
is spending her first morning
460
00:42:14,975 --> 00:42:18,095
in Ol Pejeta's
predator-proof enclosure,
461
00:42:18,095 --> 00:42:20,735
and her first without
missing mate Cedric.
462
00:42:23,295 --> 00:42:27,135
I feel sorry for Koki.
She's waking up in a new area.
463
00:42:27,135 --> 00:42:31,495
I would say she's feeling a
bit homesickly.
464
00:42:31,495 --> 00:42:33,735
Most of all, she misses her fiance.
465
00:42:43,695 --> 00:42:47,095
But in 140 square miles
of wilderness,
466
00:42:47,095 --> 00:42:50,335
Cedric has managed to seek
out his sweetheart.
467
00:42:55,415 --> 00:42:57,295
Oh, there he is.
468
00:42:57,295 --> 00:42:59,095
OSTRICH GROANS
469
00:43:01,815 --> 00:43:04,735
To our surprise, Cedric found her.
470
00:43:06,375 --> 00:43:09,575
Literally, they were just looking
at each other the whole time.
471
00:43:09,575 --> 00:43:11,095
It was really beautiful.
472
00:43:12,815 --> 00:43:16,295
Cedric must have looked all
night to find Koki.
473
00:43:19,575 --> 00:43:21,935
Nevertheless, there is
an electric fence between them
474
00:43:21,935 --> 00:43:25,255
and she couldn't get to him
and he could not get to her.
475
00:43:28,535 --> 00:43:31,495
It's a perfect opportunity to
reunite the couple.
476
00:43:34,975 --> 00:43:39,295
But one sight of the rangers sends
Cedric in the opposite direction.
477
00:43:41,975 --> 00:43:44,335
You know, they are really eager
to be together.
478
00:43:46,215 --> 00:43:49,455
I wish I could tell him that we are
doing this to have them reunited.
479
00:43:57,335 --> 00:43:58,855
GUNSHOT
480
00:44:01,295 --> 00:44:03,535
SHOUTING
481
00:44:05,855 --> 00:44:09,695
Cedric is the kind of guy who
doesn't go down easily.
482
00:44:12,775 --> 00:44:16,095
Oh, no...
483
00:44:16,095 --> 00:44:17,375
Cedric!
484
00:44:17,375 --> 00:44:18,695
LAUGHTER
485
00:44:18,695 --> 00:44:20,255
Oh, my!
486
00:44:20,255 --> 00:44:23,935
He's refusing to go down.
He has two darts on him. Two darts!
487
00:44:23,935 --> 00:44:26,295
And he is still very,
very resilient.
488
00:44:29,415 --> 00:44:31,255
EXCITED SHOUTING
489
00:44:33,535 --> 00:44:36,535
We finally got Cedric. We are
so excited.
490
00:44:36,535 --> 00:44:39,335
I mean, this is exhilarating.
It's crazy.
491
00:44:53,255 --> 00:44:56,495
Immediately he's released,
he quickly wakes up.
492
00:44:58,295 --> 00:45:01,255
He knows he has only one business,
to find Koki.
493
00:45:10,735 --> 00:45:13,175
Koki's reaction was amazing.
494
00:45:13,175 --> 00:45:16,375
She was excited. She went right
in front of him.
495
00:45:18,375 --> 00:45:20,295
She just seemed really,
really happy.
496
00:45:22,575 --> 00:45:24,415
Their way of expressing that they
are happy,
497
00:45:24,415 --> 00:45:26,855
they will just try
and pick out their fathers.
498
00:45:26,855 --> 00:45:28,175
Sort of like grooming.
499
00:45:31,255 --> 00:45:33,055
It was a beautiful reunion.
500
00:45:36,055 --> 00:45:39,215
Chances are that if they manage to
breed early enough,
501
00:45:39,215 --> 00:45:41,535
we are going to see some
chicks soon.
502
00:45:41,535 --> 00:45:42,535
We can't wait.
503
00:46:21,575 --> 00:46:22,935
That's an enemy from above.
504
00:46:26,975 --> 00:46:28,575
Is it dangerous
if it doesn't get found?
505
00:46:31,415 --> 00:46:32,535
We are really worried.
506
00:46:40,895 --> 00:46:45,455
