Tonight I'm going to watch a tv program that's called "Into The Pride" featuring Dave Salmoni. I really enjoy watching that program since Dave is on a mission on traveling to Africa, visiting real untamed lions in Erindi reserve. These lions have some agressions problems and has attacked people before and where comes Dave's in? you'll ask. Well, his mission is to unlearn these lions agressions to people, because if they don't. They will not get a second chance to survive. Many of the lions had to give up their lives because of their agression and attacking tourists on visit.
Enable to save these lions that are left, he has to make a special bound with these lions. He's making progress but there's still some empty spots he need to fix. His biggest problem is queen Cleo. Whenever he's near, queen Cleo chase him away and threathing to charge him if he don't stay out of her area. She's such a grumpy old lioness as you can tell when getting to know these lions.
Dave risk with all his life jsut to save theirs, a very interesting program in my opinion. Do you think he'll succes?
The program airs on Sundays at 9.00PM on Animal Planet here in Sweden. I don't exactly know if they air these show on where you live, if live in another country than sweden.

An amazing story about compassion & impossible friendship!

Well, first of all I must say that i love animals, from house pets to wild animals. I've always wanted to visit Kenya in africa to see some real wild animals. No doubts about me being a big animal lovers and I'm kind of fascinated by the big cats, hehe. They're so beautiful, all of them.
Anyway to what I really wanted to post about. It's amazing how much we know about our animals on our planet but still how little we actually know about them. They can suprise us in any way we thought wasn't possible. All the wild animals in africa live side by side in harmony, something we humans never could do with eachother.
Now here's an amazing story that can suprise us
This young impala has lost it's herds and were found by a few cheetahs...
And as far what we know about these cats it's that they're predators like their cousins - The leopards, and they hunt preys like for example the lost impala...
Cheetahs are like other wild big cats, they are instinctive killers and would kill the little lost impala directly if they felt doing it. But then there comes an amazing story to it, we think they just hunt for preys because it's their instincts to do so?, that's what we were thought to believed in.
But that doesn't mean that they can feel compassion for other animals. Instead of ripping the impala to death they tried helping the young impala find its relatives. Sweet story isn't it?
As you can see, they didn't feed on the little cute impala. See how amazing the picture is between the cheetah and the lost impala . So hearttouching!
Here's another case about a young leopard who saved a baby baboon from getting eaten by hyenas.
The name of the leopard is named Legadema as the film crew named her it, which means "Light From The Sky". As we see in the video above, we think that it's going to rip the baby baboon apart, right? But it prooved us wrong. Instead Legadema didn't know how to react as she saw the baby baboon and also because she wasn't a fullgrown leopard yet, she had a playful side and somehow were lost in her feelings in that very moment.
She did kinda feel a little mother-like to that baby baboon and since that baboon did thought that Legadema was its mother, it started follow her everywhere and Legadema tried to teach the baby baboon to climb on tree.
Isn't it heartouching to see a completely another side of wild animals that we thought we knew enough about them? Guess, this shows how little we actually know about our animals on planet. This documentary about Legadema is a great story to follow and I saw it once on channel Nat Geo Wild.
I was also heard that a similar documetary that aired on animal planet about a month ago that a friendship between a old lion and a helpess antelope. The old lion was hungry but did followed the newly born antelope for more than one week to protect it from getting eaten by other predators until it finds its herd, awww. The old lion was hungry and never ate for days but also never tried to eat the helpless little creature. That's what I call a truly deep friendship between two different species that has nothing in common at all.
But that's by far what we can know about our animals, but they will keep coming laying a new mystery ahead of us...
. So hearttouching!
