00:00:21,354 --> 00:00:24,891

10
00:00:26,826 --> 00:00:30,030

12
00:00:33,166 --> 00:00:37,303
WE'LL MEET AN AGILE ANTELOPE
TRAINED IN STAYING OFF THE MENU.

00:00:39,305 --> 00:00:43,209
PLUS, WE'LL SEE HOW HIDING IN
PLAIN SIGHT IS A DECENT DEFENSE

00:00:43,243 --> 00:00:45,712
FOR THESE BRAVE BEASTS.
15
00:00:45,745 --> 00:00:48,948

AFRICAN SAVANNA WHERE AN

00:01:23,249 --> 00:01:26,853
THE PREDATORS TRY THEIR BEST TO
CATCH A DECENT MEAL, WHILE PREY

TRY TO AVOID BEING ON THE MENU.
24
00:01:28,688 --> 00:01:32,692
THIS BATTLE OF WITS, TALENTS AND

INCREDIBLE SKILLS AND INGENIOUS
TECHNIQUES FOR WINNING THE DAY.
28
00:01:42,702 --> 00:01:46,473
ACROSS THE WORLD, FEW
PREDATOR/PREY RELATIONSHIPS ARE
29
00:01:46,506 --> 00:01:49,709

ANTELOPES OF AFRICA AND THEIR

COMPETITION, NATURE HAS GIVEN
34
00:02:02,055 --> 00:02:06,259
THE ANTELOPE AND ITS PREDATORS
ROUGHLY THE SAME WEAPONS.
35
00:02:06,292 --> 00:02:09,763
ALL THEIR SENSES ARE
WELL-DEVELOPED, BUT THERE IS ONE
36
00:02:09,796 --> 00:02:10,930
BIG DIFFERENCE.
37
00:02:12,565 --> 00:02:17,270

00:02:17,303 --> 00:02:18,471

00:02:19,739 --> 00:02:23,543
AN ENEMY COULD BURST UPON IT AT
ANY MOMENT WITH JUST ONE IDEA IN

00:02:23,576 --> 00:02:25,445

CAUGHT UNAWARES.
44
00:02:45,365 --> 00:02:47,300
ALL HER SENSES ARE AWAKENED.
45
00:02:47,334 --> 00:02:51,504

ALL THE NEWS FROM THE
SURROUNDING AREA, WORRYING OR

48
00:03:00,947 --> 00:03:04,284
DESPITE THEIR FINE EARS AND A
HIGHLY-DEVELOPED SENSE OF SMELL,
49
00:03:04,317 --> 00:03:07,854

ABSOLUTELY STILL AND NOT BE
SPOTTED.

ROLLED ITSELF INTO A BALL.

MIGHT THINK, THE GREAT PREDATORS

MAKE LITTLE USE OF THEIR SENSE
OF SMELL WHEN HUNTING.
67
00:04:39,746 --> 00:04:41,514
IT'S A QUESTION OF EFFICIENCY.
68
00:04:45,919 --> 00:04:49,189
THERE ARE TOO MANY SMELLS LEFT
BY A GREAT NUMBER OF ANIMALS.
69
00:04:54,527 --> 00:04:58,098
TO FOLLOW ONE TRAIL CLOSELY
WOULD REQUIRE A LOT OF TIME.

HIGHLY DEVELOPED.
72
00:05:09,142 --> 00:05:12,245
INSTEAD OF BEING A HUNTING TOOL,
IT'S INSTEAD USED FOR

00:05:12,278 --> 00:05:16,616
COMMUNICATION; AN ESSENTIAL PART
OF SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS.

00:12:44,164 --> 00:12:47,801
WITH A POPULATION OF MORE THAN A
MILLION, THE IMPALA IS THE MOST
169
00:12:47,834 --> 00:12:49,602
PREVALENT ANTELOPE IN AFRICA.
170
00:12:52,672 --> 00:12:54,674
[MUSIC CONTINUES]
171
00:12:56,876 --> 00:12:59,579
DYLAN: THE PREY AND THE PREDATOR
HAVE SOME COMMON TRAITS,
172
00:12:59,612 --> 00:13:00,947
HOWEVER.
173
00:13:01,047 --> 00:13:04,050
THE LEOPARD IS ALSO A CHAMPION
OF ADAPTATION.
174
00:13:05,819 --> 00:13:09,422
IT LIVES IN ALMOST ALL THE
HABITATS AND ITS DIET RANGES
175
00:13:09,456 --> 00:13:13,727
FROM GAZELLE TO MONKEY TO BIRD,
DEPENDING ON WHAT'S AVAILABLE.
176
00:13:15,428 --> 00:13:18,565
DESPITE ITS QUALITIES, THE
LEOPARD IS NEXT TO LAST IN THE
177
00:13:18,598 --> 00:13:20,367
HIERARCHY OF BIG PREDATORS.
178
00:13:25,472 --> 00:13:29,109
WITH ALMOST 500 POUNDS OF
MUSCLE, MEASURING 4 FEET FROM
179
00:13:29,142 --> 00:13:33,580
SHOULDERS TO RUMP, THE LION IS
THE UNCONTESTED CHAMPION OF THE
180
00:13:33,613 --> 00:13:35,515
LARGE CARNIVORES.
181
00:13:35,548 --> 00:13:39,386
IT CAN OVERCOME A BUFFALO OR A
GIRAFFE THAT WEIGHS 4 TIMES
182
00:13:39,419 --> 00:13:40,420
MORE.
183
00:13:41,688 --> 00:13:43,857
BUT IT WILL RARELY RUN BEHIND A
GIRAFFE BECAUSE THE GIRAFFE IS A
184
00:13:43,890 --> 00:13:45,392
STRONGER RUNNER.
185
00:13:45,425 --> 00:13:48,795
THE LION AND THE GIRAFFE HAVE
THE SAME TOP SPEED AT ABOUT 35
186
00:13:48,828 --> 00:13:49,996
MILES PER HOUR.
187
00:13:50,096 --> 00:13:52,966
BUT THE LION COULD ONLY KEEP IT
UP FOR A FEW HUNDRED YARDS.
188
00:13:52,999 --> 00:13:55,001
[MUSIC]
189
00:14:03,710 --> 00:14:06,513
DYLAN: AS FOR THE PREY, IT HAS
QUITE A CHOICE.
190
00:14:06,546 --> 00:14:09,049
A ZEBRA, A GAZELLE OR WARTHOG.
191
00:14:10,850 --> 00:14:12,919
LIONS ARE NOT AT ALL FUSSY.
192
00:14:16,289 --> 00:14:20,560
IT HUNTS WHATEVER IS AVAILABLE
AND ACCORDING TO A SIMPLE RULE,
193
00:14:20,593 --> 00:14:21,795
GO FOR THE EASIEST.
194
00:14:23,196 --> 00:14:25,899
SPEND THE LEAST ENERGY POSSIBLE.
195
00:14:25,932 --> 00:14:29,402
BUT THE REAL HUNTER MAY NOT BE
WHO YOU THINK.
196
00:14:29,436 --> 00:14:34,240
THE KING OF THE SAVANNA IS
UNQUESTIONABLY A LAZY KING AND
197
00:14:34,274 --> 00:14:36,609
LEAVES MOST OF THE HUNTING TO
THE FEMALES.
198
00:14:37,711 --> 00:14:42,148
A LION SLEEPS OR DOZES AROUND 20
HOURS A DAY.
199
00:14:42,782 --> 00:14:45,985
HE'S CERTAINLY THE CHAMPION IN
THE DOZING CATEGORY TOO, AND THE
200
00:14:46,086 --> 00:14:48,455
WHOLE CROWD IS FOLLOWING HIS
LEAD.
201
00:14:51,124 --> 00:14:54,227
WHEN WE COME BACK, ALL IT TAKES
TO KEEP A LOW PROFILE IN THIS
202
00:14:54,260 --> 00:14:57,263
HERD IS A LITTLE GAME OF FOLLOW
THE LEADER.
203
00:14:57,297 --> 00:14:58,932
NEXT ON "EARTH ODYSSEY."
204
00:15:09,075 --> 00:15:09,209
.
205
00:15:09,809 --> 00:15:12,445
NARRATOR: WE NOW RETURN TO THE
MORE YOU KNOW ON NBC.
206
00:15:13,146 --> 00:15:15,115
[MUSIC]
207
00:15:25,525 --> 00:15:29,129
DYLAN: CLAIMING, HOLDING AND
DEFENDING TERRITORY IS PART OF
208
00:15:29,162 --> 00:15:32,599
THE DAILY ROUTINE FOR BOTH
PREDATOR AND PREY.
209
00:15:32,632 --> 00:15:35,101
WILDEBEESTS ARE NO EXCEPTION.
210
00:15:38,571 --> 00:15:41,574
THEY HAVE SCENT GLANDS ON THEIR
FOREHEAD SO THEY CAN MARK
211
00:15:41,608 --> 00:15:44,110
TERRITORY AS THEY GRAZE.
212
00:15:44,144 --> 00:15:45,612
TALK ABOUT EFFICIENT.
213
00:15:45,945 --> 00:15:47,947
[MUSIC]
214
00:15:54,454 --> 00:15:58,625
DYLAN: AS HERBIVORES MOVE, THEY
OFTEN DO SO IN A LINE, ONE AFTER
215
00:15:58,658 --> 00:15:59,726
ANOTHER.
216
00:16:00,460 --> 00:16:02,028
BUT WHY?
217
00:16:02,028 --> 00:16:05,432
WHY NOT A TIGHTLY-PACKED GROUP
OR A RANDOM ASSORTMENT?
218
00:16:05,465 --> 00:16:08,868
TURNS OUT, THERE ARE SOME VERY
GOOD REASONS FOR THIS REGIMENTED
219
00:16:08,902 --> 00:16:09,903
ROUTE.
220
00:16:13,940 --> 00:16:17,344
THE LINE IS LED BY A MATURE
MEMBER OF THE HERD SHOWING THE
221
00:16:17,377 --> 00:16:18,745
REST THE WAY.
222
00:16:18,778 --> 00:16:21,948
AS THE LINE MOVES, THE GRASS IS
FLATTENED, MAKING PROGRESS
223
00:16:22,048 --> 00:16:23,116
EASIER.
224
00:16:26,052 --> 00:16:28,588
BUT THE NUMBER ONE REASON FOR
THIS METHOD OF MOVEMENT IS TO
225
00:16:28,621 --> 00:16:30,357
THWART PREDATORS.
226
00:16:30,390 --> 00:16:32,359
[MUSIC CONTINUES]
227
00:16:38,098 --> 00:16:40,967
DYLAN: WALKING THIS WAY, THE
GROUP IS MORE DISCREET, KEEPING
228
00:16:41,067 --> 00:16:43,970
THE SOUNDS OF THEIR TRAVEL DOWN
AND REDUCING THE RISK OF
229
00:16:44,070 --> 00:16:45,839
ATTRACTING UNWANTED ATTENTION.
230
00:16:47,173 --> 00:16:50,643
ALL MANNER OF PREY ANIMALS HAVE
DEVELOPED SOME HIGHLY EFFECTIVE
231
00:16:50,677 --> 00:16:52,712
WAYS OF KEEPING HUNTERS AT BAY.
232
00:16:56,583 --> 00:17:00,053
IT ALL BEGINS WITH THEIR SHARP
SENSES, ALWAYS BEING ON ALERT.
233
00:17:01,154 --> 00:17:02,756
THEN THERE'S COOPERATION.
234
00:17:02,789 --> 00:17:06,326
ALL IT TAKES IS ONE ANIMAL TO
RAISE THE ALARM BELLS FOR ALL TO
235
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:07,193
GET THE MESSAGE.
236
00:17:08,461 --> 00:17:12,232
BECAUSE IN THE WILD, THE BIGGEST
DANGER IS SURPRISE.
237
00:17:13,500 --> 00:17:17,270
SOME ANIMALS WILL EVEN LET A
PREDATOR GET UNCOMFORTABLY CLOSE
238
00:17:17,303 --> 00:17:20,106
SO THEY CAN KEEP WATCH BEFORE
MAKING THEIR ESCAPE.
239
00:17:22,642 --> 00:17:24,711
IT'S TENSE, BUT EFFECTIVE.
240
00:17:25,712 --> 00:17:29,683
LIONS USUALLY WON'T CHASE PREY
THAT'S RUNNING AWAY, SO A
241
00:17:29,716 --> 00:17:33,286
HEADSTART IS ALL PREY ANIMALS
NEED TO DISCOURAGE A FOE.
242
00:17:37,757 --> 00:17:41,161
TAKE THIS WATERBUCK, A LARGE
MEMBER OF THE ANTELOPE FAMILY
243
00:17:41,194 --> 00:17:43,763
THAT CAN WEIGH MORE THAN 400
POUNDS.
244
00:17:46,599 --> 00:17:50,270
THEY ARE VERY SENSITIVE TO
DEHYDRATION, SO CAN'T LIVE TOO
245
00:17:50,303 --> 00:17:52,205
FAR FROM A GOOD WATER SOURCE.
246
00:17:52,238 --> 00:17:53,606
HENCE, THE NAME.
247
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,642
[MUSIC CONTINUES]
248
00:18:06,419 --> 00:18:10,090
DYLAN: AS IT DRINKS SO MUCH
WATER, IT NEEDS VEGETATION RICH
249
00:18:10,123 --> 00:18:12,025
IN PROTEIN TO FEED ON.
250
00:18:12,058 --> 00:18:15,862
SO, THEIR HABITAT HAS TO BE
PRETTY SPECIFIC.
251
00:18:15,895 --> 00:18:20,133
ONCE THEY'VE FOUND THE IDEAL
SPOT, THE KEY IS MAKING SURE IT
252
00:18:20,166 --> 00:18:21,534
STAYS THEIRS.
253
00:18:23,570 --> 00:18:26,873
WATERBUCKS CAN'T STOP OTHER
SPECIES FROM USING THEIR STRETCH
254
00:18:26,906 --> 00:18:30,844
OF RIVER, BUT THEY CAN LIMIT
ACCESS AMONG THEIR OWN HERD SO
255
00:18:30,877 --> 00:18:33,680
ONLY A FEW MAY USE IT AT A TIME.
256
00:18:33,713 --> 00:18:36,616
IT'S ALL ABOUT SOCIAL
ORGANIZATION, SO THERE'S NO
257
00:18:36,649 --> 00:18:41,054
SURPRISE THAT THE WATERBUCK IS
EXTREMELY TERRITORIAL AND ANY
258
00:18:41,087 --> 00:18:43,089
CHALLENGERS ARE TAKEN HEAD-ON.
259
00:18:46,226 --> 00:18:49,596
THANK YOU FOR COMING WITH US TO
SEE HOW PREDATORS PURSUE THEIR
260
00:18:49,629 --> 00:18:51,231
PREY AROUND THE WORLD.
261
00:18:51,264 --> 00:18:54,501
WHILE EACH SPECIES PLAY TO THEIR
OWN STRENGTHS, BE IT SPEED,
262
00:18:54,534 --> 00:18:58,705
SURPRISE OR STAMINA, ALL SHOW US
THE DETERMINATION AND GRIT IT
263
00:18:58,738 --> 00:19:01,508
TAKES TO MAKE IT IN AN
UNFORGIVING WILD.
264
00:19:01,541 --> 00:19:06,012
EACH OF EARTH'S HUNGRY HUNTERS
INSPIRE BOTH AWE AND FEAR WITH
265
00:19:06,046 --> 00:19:08,281
THEIR LETHAL LEASE ON LIFE.
266
00:19:08,314 --> 00:19:10,884
WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME RIGHT
HERE ON "EARTH ODYSSEY."
