As most of you are aware, this mornings live Safari will only be 60 minutes in length to allow Rehearsals for the upcoming television show.

We begin with James who will be in the tent
Jamie and Brent will be out on drive but are having tech difficulties and will be delayed.

Hubert will be doing security detail for Stefan.
Over to Jamie who has lost her gloves.
Jeandre is on camera and is back after his foot injury.

With James
Over with Brent now
A young Bull Elephant about 20 years old
A few other bachelors in the foliage
This Elephant Bull is digging up Tubers.
He grasps one that is too large for his mouth so he literally kneels down to split it into 2 pieces using his tusk.
Well worth watching the video

Over to Stefan who has a Brown Button Spider
This Spider has the hourglass outline on its Ventral side
Stefan calls her "A pretty Spider"
This Spider belongs to the same family as the Black Button Spider which is one of the most venemous in South Africa.
Their bite causes intense pain as it affects the Lymphatic System.
Over to Jamie with her update
She has a surprise for us
She has found a Hyena at a den.
Perhaps they are once again using this den.
Jamie is so excited that she found the Hyena's
Over to James who has a Hyena skull with its teeth.
He shows us how the jaw structure works in like a scissor like fashion to rip and tear skin and meat.
Hyena's Have A Scissor Bite
Back over to Jamie for another look at this Hyena. Jamie thinks it is a low ranking female who perhaps has moved away from the clan to have cubs.
Jamie says this Hyena looks phenominally peaceful
Over to Stefan
Who sees this hole and he is going to investigate it.
This Hole Gives Stefan The Heebie Jeebies
Over to Jamie who says Goodbye as they go into Rehearsals
Over to James who takes a few moments to show us where the Hyena Dens are located
