This is Going Wild.

Shorts.

And I'm Dr. Ray Wyn Grant.

If you've been keeping up with the show, you just went with me to Tanzania in 2009.

I was there to study Lions in the Tarangiri National Park.

But the story I told you was mostly

about a giraffe, a dead giraffe, actually.

And I didn't really get to tell you much about lions.

So I want to take you back to my first day in Tanzania in the middle of the bush and introduce

you to two very unique lions that I still think about to this day.

I arrived at the field site and unlike many of my experiences and many of my projects,

we got straight into the field, quite literally,

the next day.

All of us piled into the car, five of us that day, which means that we were really, really

cramped.

We tracked the location of lions by using radio telemetry.

One of the lines on the pride has to have a radio collar around her neck.

And we had to have an antenna that someone, the lucky person each day, would hold out the window

and kind of turn at different angles in order to try to pick up a radio signal, which sounded just like a very faint

beep. And the beep would get louder and louder as we got closer and closer to the lion

with the radio caller on her.

On a typical day, we would stay and observe the lines for about an hour.
