00:00We're quite careful at collaring a range of prey species because from previous
00:08research there's expectation as the lion's numbers go up they'll actually
00:12change prey species.
00:16Need to hold them tight.
00:19We've woken them up guys so this is to be careful.
00:39At the introduction of the lions they're eating warthog all the time so it's a small prey species
00:45and while they're abundant and easy to catch vines will be doing that but as prides get
00:51bigger we expect them to start taking bigger prey like the buffalo and the sable.
01:03Without the apex predator you're missing a key link in the whole trophic pyramid which
01:10is the basis of the biodiversity of an area.
01:13It's going to be fascinating to see this change of proportions in communities.
