They have since lost the signal and dont know what had happened to the animal. Marlice decides to take Kiewiet, an expert Bushman tracker, to the reserve and look for it on foot.

After the walk she introduces us to the juvenile group and explains their hierarchy. The smaller animals like the goats, hares and tortoises also need tlc and food and Marlice spends lunchtime in their enclosure.

Due to threatening poaching problems Marlice and Rudie decide to move three lions into a leopard enclosure and the leopards from that enclosure into the lion enclosure. They first dart the two leopards, take blood samples and put them in holding cages - without a glitch. Because the three lions are aggressive and at the same time very suspicious it is important that all three have to be darted at exactly the same moment - at the sound of a dart gun they will simply disappear into the thickets. Marlice, Rudie and Ian, a vet, line up to dart the lions. When Ians dart gun accidentally touches the electric fence, Rudie reacts to the sound and fires his gun. He hits the one female, but the other two run into the bushes. A short while later the male approaches and Marlice darts him, of the other female there is no sign. They now have to go in to the enclosure to load the two sedated lions while the female is still wide awake. They find and load the two lions, then take them to the leopard enclosure where they are r

Three of the baby baboons have reached the age where they can start breeding and Marlice decides they need to be castrated as she doesnt want them to breed in captivity. She and Rudie differ on how to sedate the baboons - she beliefs they should catch and then inject them, Rudie feels they should simply dart the three baboons. Funny moments as they play off against each other. Finally, Rudie wins, they dart the baboons and take them to the clinic where Rudie, with Marlices help perform the operations. The three babies stay in the clinic for the night. The next morning Marlice and one of the volunteers leave for a farm in the north of Namibia. The owner, who has two semi-tame cheetahs on the farm, had her leg injured by a cow and cant look after them any longer. Marlice offers to fetch and look after the cheetahs.
