Big Cat Diary
This week BBC1 have been showing Big Cat Diary from the Masai Mara.
It`s great to see the big cats, and the presenters, Simon King, Jonathan Scott and Saba Douglas- Hamilton are doing a good job. There is a great screen saver too. Go to: http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature for details. Pat. -- Pat Anderson |

I missed what happened to the lioness and her two cubs. Did the new males
kill them? Or did Simba ride to the rescue? The lion cubs are still alive. The question now is if Bella's two leopard cubs survive the visit of a group of baboons.... Arnoud |

I think Saba is a natural for the job. I found a video recording I made years ago when she and her sister were very young. At the time the family were at Lake Manyara, where her father was working with elephants. Pat -- Pat Anderson |

Tonight's cliffhanger: The pride found the two tiny cubs without the mother and are sniffing them out. Their fate is in the balance... (Did they say whether the cubs are Simba's? Simon said he thought Bibi had been exiled from the pride because her cubs were such a different age, but I've seen very mixed age prides, but maybe not that extreme. BTW - anyone know when it was filmed? My bet is October. Liz -- Virtual Liz at http://www.v-liz.co.uk Kenya; Tanzania; India; Seychelles; Namibia "I speak of Africa and golden joys" |

They have GPS collars on one or two elephant bulls, if my memory serves me well. The plan was to be able to watch little dots criss-crossing the map on a web site. Haven't looked at that site for some time though. Similar things have been done in Amboseli as well. Hans-Georg -- No mail, please. |

According to the Radio Times it was September (all of Sept! so there's been some 'constructive editing') I was surprised at amount of rain at that time of year and number of wildebeest - presumably they are on their way back to the Serengeti? -- Rita Daggett |

Saba works there with him when she isn`t working on wild life filming for the BBC, who she joined in 2002. Her sister, Dudu (what a choice of name!) is also involved in the production of films here in Britain. If you do a search on google.com for "Save the Elephants" the information is there.
