[00:00:00]Once in a while you see pride members going into sneaking into another pride area and then walking out.

[00:00:08]So, if she comes across the Carol pride, she will be in danger.

[00:00:15]So, she's also very close to Paradise pride area.

[00:00:21]So, >> [clears throat] >> Gabby, lions have senses. They They know their truck area. They know their pride areas. And because when they urinate, they leave a scent trail of where they mark their territory. So, lions or fats mark their territory by urinating along the boundary lines. So, she will find her way back to the marsh or to the Leshaka area by just following the scent trail.

[00:00:52]But because she's a loner, she always hangs around by herself. So, she doesn't necessarily have to go back. But once in a while they cross path with the Musiara girls or her sisters.

[00:01:03]But then she wanders off alone.

[00:01:07]So, one advantage of being alone is that there's no competition over food.

[00:01:11]Whenever she finds something to eat, she'll be by herself.

[00:01:15]But a disadvantage also is it's a little bit of hard to find food especially at this very tall grass.

[00:01:24]So, she has to depend on her expertise going for warthogs.

[00:01:30]So, she is she is very healthy, very fit. You can see her stout body because warthogs provide a very good meal for such kind of loners. [clears throat] You can tell by just the facial expression and you even the ears flapping and how she's looking around, the warthog is not far from here.

[00:01:55]She's definitely big cat. Is that So, when it warms up, like I told you, these puddles, where she was just laying next to, become very active, and that is why the warthogs come here and just wander and just mud wallow.

[00:02:19]CK, you wonder why she's alone?

[00:02:21]Presumably, when the pride became very big and uh she maybe gave birth fast. So, the advantage of lionesses giving birth synchronized is also that every member of that pride becomes responsible for taking care of the cubs. So, if one [clears throat] member gives birth fast for the other, then there's a little bit of a disadvantage, because then the older siblings or sometimes uh the uh the youngsters around the the pride might be a little bit too rough to the cubs.

[00:03:03]Or sometimes, when they find something to eat, for example, they put down a buffalo, zebra, or whatever they come across, so she's at a disadvantage, [clears throat] because her cubs cannot have enough to eat. So, that's why they end up leaving or breaking away from the from the pride.

[00:03:22]And due to that, she has now adopted to live in by herself. So, let's send you over to Brian to see what the lions are doing.
