Leopard hunting jackal for 12 minutes, uncut single shot

  

Following on from my last YouTube video, which you should check out after this, of the leopard hunting the jackal I've decided to show the whole process of the stalk. It was such an incredible moment watching the leopard slowly sneak up on the sleeping jackal, not losing focus for the entire 12 minutes. The rest shows the effort the leopard went to to store the jackal in the tree. If you watch my previous video you will see the jackal escapes. But I'd stopped filming and restarted for that. I wanted to show the entire uncut single shot sequence. Enjoy.

Camera Trapping Again

New Job in the Heart of Africa

I don't know why I haven't posted about this, probably because I have been busy preparing for my next African adventure. I am off to a country that I have not been to and not many tourists either. I am off to the Heart of Africa, the Democratic Republic of Congo with my new job. I am going to be a bonobo researcher for 9 months.
After flying into the country I take a small plane into the interior then hike 25km across savanna, swamp, rivers and rainforest to reach a remote camp in the middle of the dense rain forest. One there I will not leave the rainforest for 9 months.
I found out just days ago and leave in 2 weeks so its all rush. For those who dont know what a bonobo is think pygmy chimpanzee and you get the idea.
