RIGHT THROUGH IT.

A VERREAUX'S EAGLE-OWL.

{\an1}SANJAYAN, VOICE-OVER:
WE BUILT A WATERHOLE
WITH NO IDEA

184
00:12:12,066 --> 00:12:14,233
IF ANIMALS WOULD
EVEN SHOW UP.

00:12:17,433 --> 00:12:21,933
{\an1}BUT IN JUST A FEW MONTHS,
IT'S BECOME A HOTSPOT

186
00:12:21,966 --> 00:12:23,933
{\an1}OF THE AFRICAN SAVANNA.

187
00:12:25,666 --> 00:12:29,366
{\an1}IN THE DRY SEASON, PREY ANIMALS
WERE THE MOST FREQUENT VISITORS,

188
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:33,266
{\an1}BUT NOW, IN THIS
HOTTEST TIME OF YEAR,

189
00:12:33,300 --> 00:12:38,733
{\an1}MORE AND MORE PREDATORS ARE
COMING TO THE WATERHOLE.

191

IN THE AIR TO CATCH BIRDS

192

193
00:12:58,033 --> 00:13:02,800
{\an1}THE AFRICAN WILDCAT USES ITS
ACUTE HEARING TO PRECISELY

194
00:13:02,833 --> 00:13:06,466
{\an1}LOCATE PREY AROUND

RETRACTABLE CLAWS TO HUNT

196
00:13:14,166 --> 00:13:17,800
{\an1}IN TREES AND ALSO
DOWN ON THE GROUND.

197
00:13:20,066 --> 00:13:22,366
{\an1}THE WATERHOLE HAS NOW BECOME
A REGULAR FEATURE

198
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,000
IN THE LANDSCAPE.

199
00:13:25,033 --> 00:13:28,166

MAKE FREQUENT VISITS DURING

200
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,400
{\an1}THE NIGHT, GIVING
THESE SMALLER PREDATORS

201

{\an1}OPPORTUNITIES TO HUNT.

202
00:13:35,500 --> 00:13:38,400
{\an1}WITH MORE PREDATORS STOPPING
BY THE WATERHOLE AT NIGHT,

203
00:13:38,433 --> 00:13:41,900
{\an1}YOU'D THINK EVERY OTHER ANIMAL
WOULD VISIT FOR A DRINK

204
00:13:41,933 --> 00:13:47,233
{\an1}DURING THE DAY, BUT THAT'S
SIMPLY NOT THE CASE.

{\an1}YOU KNOW, NOW IN THE
HOTTEST TIME OF THE YEAR,

00:13:49,100 --> 00:13:51,042
{\an1}ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE
NOTICING LOOKING AT THE DATA

207
00:13:51,066 --> 00:13:53,900
{\an1}IS THAT A LOT OF THE ANIMALS
THAT WOULD COME PREFERENTIALLY

AVOID NIGHTTIME PREDATORS,

211
00:14:03,766 --> 00:14:05,933
{\an1}THEY, TOO, HAVE SHIFTED.

212
00:14:05,966 --> 00:14:07,633
THEY'VE SHIFTED
THEIR BEHAVIOR.

213
00:14:07,666 --> 00:14:11,066
{\an1}IT'S JUST SIMPLY TOO HOT
TO BE OUT THERE IN THE

BEEN TURNED UPSIDE-DOWN.

00:42:39,033 --> 00:42:39,666
HOW MANY?

616
00:42:39,700 --> 00:42:46,466
1, 2, 3
LITTLE CUBS.

617
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:53,900

IN THIS STUFF AND YOUR MIND

{\an1}AND IT'S LIKE, WOW.
IT'S JUST...

620
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:02,266

HER CUBS AWAY FROM THE HYENAS.

623

{\an1}LION TERRITORIES CAN COVER
OVER 200 SQUARE MILES,

624
00:43:14,433 --> 00:43:18,466
{\an1}AN AREA EQUIVALENT TO
THE CITY OF CHICAGO.

625
00:43:18,500 --> 00:43:22,066
{\an1}AS LONG AS SHE KEEPS ON
THE MOVE, THE CUBS' CHANCE

626
00:43:22,100 --> 00:43:26,800

INCREASE AS THEY GROW.

627

OUT OF THE AREA SO EASILY.

TO RISK THEIR LIVES COMING DOWN

TO DRINK EVERY DAY IN ORDER TO

THEY'RE ON THE GROUND,

634
00:44:21,433 --> 00:44:25,300
{\an1}THEY MUST BE CAREFUL.

635

GETS ENOUGH WATER,

640
00:44:59,666 --> 00:45:02,433

COMMUNICATE, SMELLING

650
