11:32 am
we use f-10, which kills all germs. f-10 is a concentrated disinfectant that kills a broad spectrum of potentially harmful germs. cleanliness is one of the most important requirements when keeping wild animals. these two brothers, blaze and bandit, are trying to show each other their superiority. as you can see, the cheetahs are enjoying themselves and giving the opportunity to clean up the enclosure.
11:33 am
insect phenomenon, warren comes to check on bolt, he is the alpha male in the pack, raising wild animals a delicate process, but sometimes you have to act on impulse. warren checks the enclosure, if it is well cleaned, the animal can go for a walk. bolt likes to be taken care of. the enclosure is properly cleaned, and now the cheetah cub can be walked. the best time of the day, you can freely roam the territory, but there can be problems, especially when warren volunteers try to direct them to the open area, pieces of meat will help with this. warren catches up with bolt, something has caught his attention. warren calms him down, these animals are easily frightened. here is another litter, there are also three of them, but as you can see.
11:34 am
they are quite aggressive, but it is important for them to meet other cheetahs. blythe and bandit found the old cheetahs. free range helps them to find a common language with their own kind, but it is rare in the wild. warren is always there to watch how they get along, he understands that this is very important to the brothers, and then disaster will happen when bolt suddenly ends up in the horse pen. they need to quickly. get him, let's go north from johannesburg to the maholohola wildlife rehabilitation centre at the foot of the majestic drakensberg mountains. the centre was founded in 1991 and takes care of injured and orphaned wild animals. it is probably the largest and busiest reserve in south africa. among others, there lives an abandoned female caracal, her name is savannah. humans made her an orphan and now she is in the care of nikita.
11:35 am
hi, my name is nikita, i work at the maholohola rehabilitation centre, i run the clinic, i have been here for 3 and a half years years. every day nikita checks on his wild animals. savannah is a young caracal, a medium-sized african wild cat. nikita has been looking after her for a couple of months now. she has adjusted well, considering her background. let's check on our caracal savannah. this young cat can't be let out because she has been used to people since she was a kitten. so here we have our caracal savannah. people contacted us and said that they had a caracal in their house. asked us to pick it up, we went there, she was very tame, she approached people safely in search of a bun, she has no fear of people, which means that she was raised in captivity. we brought her to the center, showed her a bowl, she was happy because she was very hungry,
11:36 am
she knew what a bowl was, usually wild animals do not understand this. savannah grew up in captivity, which means that she will never be able to hunt on her own. as you can see, she is not aggressive. she loves human attention, i come to her in the morning and in the afternoon, just to make sure that everything is okay with her and nothing it didn't happen overnight, usually she is fed twice a day, the caretaker should monitor the caracal daily, there are many snakes in this area, they can get into the enclosure and harm the young cat, it is very important to inspect the animals twice a day, she lived with us for 3 months, when someone suddenly noticed...
11:37 am
11:38 am
fastest land animals in the world. they can reach speeds of up to 120 km/h. when we walk the cheetahs we try to stimulate them. the brothers stay together and hunt as a pack, these three males that we have marked for release will stay together as a pack. these hunters always attack in a straight line.
11:39 am
something has scared the cheetah pack. it was a horse. bolt is now ready to demonstrate his stalking skills. bolt managed to get into the horse's enclosure. the consequence. enough experience, otherwise everything could have ended differently, the horses are safe, it's time to return the three brothers into the enclosure, but not all of them want to go back into the cage, as you can see, the cheetahs are not very happy
11:40 am
with our attempts to return them to the enclosure, we will have to use another plan, the manager takes bolt first, is he the alpha? once he is inside, it will be easier to return the others. this is part of the upbringing of three cheetah cubs. it is important to take them out for a walk, although returning to the cage requires. but it is worth it, we will return to maholoholo, near the town of khutspruiid, limpopo province, a lost corner of the wild nature, where they found the house is home to a variety of animals. nikita, the animal keeper, visits his charges twice a day, including the honey badger, rika, who is under constant supervision. so, we have a female honey badger living here. her name is rika. she was brought to our rehabilitation center by a public figure. she
11:41 am
was raised in captivity. people often underestimate honey badgers. they look cute, funny, not at all dangerous, but in fact, they are very brave and smart animals. these predators are known to fight lions. they will never be able to kill a lion, but they can scare it away. however, something is bothering her. they tell her that she might get sick. that she needs someone to take care of her, she replaced the baby
11:42 am
with a chain. it gets cold at night, but nikita even put a chain on her so that rika could carry her to the hole at night, but it didn't work. nikita tried to comfort her with toys, but mommy likes it when the chain is attached. i hope she'll lose interest in the chain soon. i already see her in the baby's den from time to time. chains, and this is a very good sign, i hope that in the future she will be able to reunite with her partner. the honey badger, also called ratel, is a tireless animal, capable of digging up the hardest ground in minutes. their nests are underground, often on abandoned nests of other animals. concrete slabs, they can scrape with their claws, clinging like hooks. they are excellent diggers, they can dig under any surface. that's it, but i'm glad i went to see her, i hope tomorrow she will part with the chain.
11:43 am
well, in the meantime, mom will have to follow her natural instincts and feed the babies, even if it's just a chain. let's go to port edward, kwazulu natal, to craig's view wildlife rehabilitation centre. port edward is located on the south coast just on the border with the eastern cape . the area is famous for its subtropical gardens. the only rehabilitation centre in the area that deals with wildlife. my name is craig hoskan. i've lived here for the last 15 years. when i bought this land, i was planning on opening a rehabilitation centre. animals, so i acted accordingly. since then, the center has grown a lot and continues to care for the animals. help the animal recover and return it to the wild.
11:44 am
blue duikers prefer the dense vegetation that is abundant in this region. it helps them hide from potential predators. the center is home to mostly native animals of the region, like this blue duiker. a young male grows to a maximum of 90 cm in length, and this is his advantage. we found this little blue duiker at a neighbor's. and i think a cat dragged him there. craig immediately started treating him, he didn't look too good. in one eye, he was 80% blind, that is, he almost lost his sight. it took us 3 weeks to get him back on his feet and teach him to walk, and we decided to let him live in the shelter, i want to take a quick walk here. craig recently received a baby. antelope, it can be difficult to find, let's see if i can find her, this
11:45 am
type of antelope is secretive, extremely cautious, mari, mari, their defense mechanism becomes invisible, marie, craig can't see her, but she knows exactly where he is, i always try to talk to animals, otherwise you can scare him, he will panic, hit the fence or something. these animals also know how to just disappear. craig needs to maintain a balance between caring for the baby and trying to prevent him from getting attached. the problem is that if he feeds the animal, and ... but he gets attached to him, and this can cause problems in the future. for now, mori is safely hidden in dense thickets. craig will resume the search tomorrow new arrival. the next morning, craig finds his antelope near the water.
11:46 am
and the squeaking is an alarm signal. that's how they communicate that there is danger. and the mother and the lamb can communicate almost inaudibly with low sounds, hey, you are patient, apparently, the antelope understands that craig wants to help, to deal with animals, you need to be a person of a special kind, understanding and patience are very important for this quality, i doubt that if you once discovered this passion in yourself, you will be able to give it up, you will always be like this. love is definitely the key ingredient to helping animals. let's go back to the lion and cheetah sanctuary, located just an hour outside of johannesburg. this vast region is home to the kruger national park, founded in 1998.
11:47 am
well, it's time to meet our lions, the pride of our sanctuary. this. institution was created as a sanctuary for animals that cannot be released back into the wild. these three lions are exactly that. it is almost impossible to return lions to the wild if they were raised in captivity from birth, like the lions at oren. well here we are with the alvas, this is samson, indy
11:48 am
and shanti, it looks like a family reunion, make no mistake! no one else can walk into this enclosure as calmly as woron and his sister manik. they raised these lions, so they recognize them as family. samson, alfa was supposed to be sent to a circus in china, but we managed to save him just before he was sent, he came to us at 26 days old, then we raised him ourselves, and now he is part of our family. indy and shanti were also in a dangerous situation and craig's family
11:49 am
stepped in to save them. animal traffickers were trying to sell these lionesses. but we managed to save them and now we have them, my sister and i raised these three lions, so they consider us their family, but if another person is in the enclosure, they can become prey, we have our own special bond with these lions. and we are very lucky to have raised them and given them such a shelter. and later shanti and warne will fight for the skin. let's go back to the makhol rehabilitation center for the last time.
11:50 am
many animals are brought here for treatment for poisoning. common. areas, especially vultures. nikita knows this very well. i've always had an affection for wild animals, and i know that i can change something, help them. it's nice to see them released. sometimes, unfortunately, they can't be released and you have to take care of them constantly. i always try to help as much as i can. and it's a great feeling when i realize that i'm making a difference. nikita needs to check on his patients vultures, many of which are very sick. the caretaker must wear protective gloves, these are large birds, their beak. can easily crush the bone of an animal.
11:51 am
so, these vultures mostly live permanently in our center. they either have a broken wing or they are bred in captivity, they cannot be released. they cannot return to the wild. those big brown ones are called african. vultures, these are the largest vultures in the world, they are able to rip through the thick skin of elephants and hippos, other vultures cannot do this, they have a very long neck, they use it to bite deeper into the carcass, they are quite heavy, these cape vultures can weigh up to 8 kg, come on, come on, come on? "come on, stop it,
11:52 am
it's quite heavy, as i said, they can weigh up to 8 kg, so it's dangerous to interact with, once you get used to it, it's fine, but the first time it can be quite scary, the vulture is very close to you, they have a very powerful bite, their claws are not as scary as their beaks, which are designed to tear off meat. birds of prey, like eagles, usually have claws are scarier than a bite. now they are screaming, that is, they are happy. come on! that's it, i can't take it anymore, thank you. as you can see, this one has a broken wing. this is a cape vulture.
11:53 am
it is capable of completely climbing into the carcass of an animal. it has a long neck, there are no feathers on it. this species is endangered. after lunch, they leave nothing. nikita is satisfied with the inspection and leaves for the next guest. our story will end here. in south africa in the lion and cheetah reserve. at sunset, the warren family ensures the safety of the animals in the reserve, including a small pride of lions that have become their family. the enclosure we are in is 9 hectares in size. it is simply a huge area. probably one of the largest enclosures for lions in the country. every month , three lions are treated for ticks and fleas, they are given ointment on their backs, this is to keep the lions healthy, no surprises, if ticks or fleas settle in the fur, this can cause skin irritation,
11:54 am
which will make the lions constantly scratch themselves and injure themselves. in south africa, this has never happened successful release of lions from captivity. in kenya they did it through the born free project, but in south africa they would never be released, so we try to give them as natural an environment as possible, a big enclosure to make their life as close to the wild as possible, the lions are provided with shelter to play and soft food, which has proven to be very good for them, yes, we give them skins of different animals to play tug of war with. it has become a family game, lions versus humans, when one lioness gives in, a sister steps in.
11:55 am
in the end, the lions always win, but that's how it's supposed to be. it's time to head back after a long day. the three lions are doing well. the dark side of the wild is no threat to them. and this family of caretakers will enjoy life. knowing that three more lions have been saved, directors roberto carletti, francio snel krex, screenwriter roberto carletti, cinematographers letab, omi shnainaidoo , phomelela mazibuka,
11:56 am
11:57 am
and shcherbitsky, when he found out about this, he said, bastard, he is already getting to the members of the politburo, three people came here and said: they are from the kgb, we were all horrified, because this process is completely unfair, three times i was in prison, three times they took off my shoelaces, took off my belt, i held my pants in my teeth, because i was put in a cell forever, there will be no person from the director.
11:58 am
11:59 am
