Wild Animal Orphans
Marlice van Vuuren's wildlife rehabilitation sanctuary takes in orphaned wild animals with the goal of one day releasing them back into the wild.
Painted Pups
Fourteen highly endangered Wild Dog pups arrive at Naankuse. In the meantime, the leopard cubs are beginning to pose a danger to Zacheo.
Baby Baboons
When Shona, the injured baby baboon orphan, is introduced to new friends, things don't go all that smoothly. Friendship may take some time to grow.
Signs in the Sand
In an attempt to find a leopard in the vast desert landscape of southern Namibia, Marlice relies on the skills of Kiewiet, an expert Bushman tracker.
Cat Trouble
The team explores the dynamics of the baboon hierarchy. When a wild leopard gets trapped, the team's priority shifts and the adrenaline starts pumping.
The Big Relocate
Adult lions and wild leopards must swap enclosures. This task becomes a dangerous exercise. If things don't go as planned, someone could get seriously injured.
Big Cats and Baby Baboons
The leopard cubs are a threat to Zacheo's safety, so they must be moved. The baby baboons are placed with the juveniles. Monkey antics promptly ensue.
Newborn
It's a year later, and things have changed! Marlice and Rudie have a new baby boy, and he needs to be introduced to the animals.
New Beginnings and Sad Endings
Even at a wildlife sanctuary, poaching can rear its ugly head. The team is on high alert to defend the animals they have come to know and love.
Operation Wild Dog
The wild dogs are Marlice's proudest project and biggest responsibility. When one gets bitten by a snake, they have to move quickly to save her.
Cheetah Rescue
A caracal with a broken leg arrives needing immediate medical attention. Then, when a cheetah owner breaks a leg, Marlice swoops in to save the day.
Tooth Trouble and Game Court
With all the rain came an abundance of animals. To count them, Rudie takes to the air, but only after saving a cheetah's life on the operating table.
Preparing for the Big Release
In their biggest effort to release animals back into the wild, Marlice and Rudie have to find and capture seven cheetahs and a leopard. All in one day.
The Big Release
Seven cheetahs and a leopard get their first taste of freedom in an epic release effort, one that Marlice and Rudie have been dreaming about.
