Orphans of the Wild

Season 1 Episode 11 - Tooth Trouble and Game Count

2011 · 26 min
TV-PG
One of the cheetahs at Naankuse is not eating well and Marlice suspects it is because of tooth trouble. She and Rudie take the cheetah to Dr Ian Baines, the vet in Windhoek. X-rays reveal that she indeed has a tooth problem, and it is serious - if they cant fix it she might have to be put down. During a four-hour operation the rotten toot is removed and she has a good change of surviving. Marlice and Rudie take the caracal that had the leg operation back to Naankuse and inspect the leg. The wound has healed nicely and the caracal is doing well. Early afternoon and Marlice checks in on the two young cheetahs that were brought in a week ago - they are still adapting to their new environment and will be moved in with Lucky, who will act as their surrogate mom, as soon as possible. The good rains experienced during the past season could mean that the number of wild animals at Naankuse may have increased - Rudie and Flo take to the air for an aerial game-count - they are surprised and happy with the numbers.
