    WOW the opening slo- mo giraffe combat - really shows the power behind those hits .. I was mesmerised.
    You really captured the love and connection within lion pride and that end shot straight into those beautiful amber eyes .. breathtaking.
    Thank you so very much - the banter between you & Kirsten is hilarious ... the BBC don’t know what they’re missing

LOL It was like I was there looking into that lion's eyes. WOW! Thanks for the BBC laughs. They don't know what they are missing. Thanks again James and Kirsten.

    When we camped when I was a kid, it was very dyi. My Dad built a trailer and my sisters and I would sleep in it Uber a tied down tarp. Once it rained...in the Everglades...the tarp filled with water. I awoke because it of the weight. And the wet...dyi tarps touched when wet leak...an important life lesson, I yelled and my father rescued us. My mother was not amused, next trip we had our own tent. From which the skunk event I described earlier sprang.

    James, your wisdom knows no bounds....I bred GSD's and tho' I never called one Sacha....two people who bought pups from me did and decided to choose Sacha for the pet name of their pup.

    There’s something very Very aesthetically pleasing about the curvature of that Springbok’s horns ( whom comes into frame around 02:05 & who exits green stage right a few moments later) I’m not as knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of South Africa like You both.
