Speaker 1: Can't we start with Andrew? Please? So you got a

10
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: ticket for doing what? Okay? So this happened in twenty

11
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: twenty one. My car was towed after the iHeartRadio Music

12
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: Festival twenty twenty one. There was a street festival that

13
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: I did not know about. My car was towed. I've

14
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: got to pick up my car from the toeyard traumatic experience,

15
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: and there is a blank ticket on my windshield. So

16
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: I've kept this ticket ever since because I'm like, there's

17
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: nothing on this ticket. How do I know what I

18
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 1: was charged with? So fast forward to two court dates

19
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: later over zoom and I fought it today. Yes, so

20
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: you have justice. A court date on zoom. Yeah, I've

21
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: never done a zoom court date for tickets, but then again,

22
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 1: i've never headed ticket pin a rose on your now's

23
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: your drive anyway? So how was the experience? And terrible?

24
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: What do you mean so it's not fun? Zoom court

25
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: is not fun. I've done zoom jury duty. This is

26
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: now zoom court for me. It's it's really it wasn't great.

27
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: And I did it over here because I thought I

28
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: could just be audio and then they were like you

29
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: have to turn the camera on. And then it just

30
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: so happened that you were walking by at the same

31
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: time and the judge is I went to turn around

32
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: and be like, I'm on court, and the judge screaming

33
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: in my airpod's going this is a court of law,

34
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I'm so sorry. You shouldn't I'm talking

35
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: to a Corn. I'm thinking Corn, the group, you know

36
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: Corn with the k Yeah, we have a meeting there.

37
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: So the jogo is mad because I'm walking by. Yes,

38
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: he's like, are you not in a place where oh

39
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: that George, that judge can suck my ass. Yes, he's terrible.

40
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: I'm not contempt. I'm not in a stupid contempt you're

41
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: gonna get Andrew triple fined by your words. Now it's

42
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: already done. Who who is it? Who's in the court?

43
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: M So here was the thing. The ticket was blank.

44
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: And I said this several times to him, and he

45
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,119
Speaker 1: was trying to test me, like, well, would you rather

46
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: this be in person? Then I'm like, yeah, it should

47
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: be a person because I have the blank ticket because

48
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 1: I've saved it for two years. And he's like, well,

49
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: the cop would not write a ticket and then submit

50
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: it if it was blank. And I'm like, well, I

51
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: had the evidence that says otherwise. And so I got

52
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: a tend. He reduced the fine all the way. I

53
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: think it was two fifty to ten dollars, and I

54
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: played guilty. Oh what a nice ten dollars. I don't

55
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: like this judge points, you get points on the license.

56
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: All right, well let's move on. You don't want any

57
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: stunt any actually i've ever had with a judge. They

58
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: lured over their authority like they're always judging right. It's frightening.

59
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: It is. I wish to be one someday. Oh you're

60
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: you're you're our version of having a judge. Well, anyway,

61
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: so you're all dying but rude, so rude, and zoo

62
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: court is not fun. I want to go in person

63
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: because I would have held my ticket up and said,

64
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: your honor, I submit this. I was ready for that

65
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: moment and I didn't have it, or maybe try to

66
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: follow the rules of parking. Well, I didn't know there

67
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: was a street festival in the middle of September. What

68
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: are we celebrating. Oh, you can appeal, I know, but

69
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: it's only a Well here's the problem, by the way,

70
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: and now we welcome Vienna, Vienna, our attorney from Tanzania.

71
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: The thing is, you don't want to appeal because it's

72
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: only ten dollars in no points to just pay their

73
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: ten dollars and move. Yeah, I'll keep moving. Yeah, Vienna

74
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: would appeal. It's it's a which if I'm not happy

75
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: with the outcome, you know, I'm definitely a pill. Good

76
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: for you fight the power? Can you go back? Can

77
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: you put Vienna in your zoom room? Let him be

78
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: your attorney. Yes, I'm glad. I'm glad you got away

79
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: with moment. It was great, but judge, bitch, we welcome

80
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: Vienna all the way from Tanzania. This is his fourth

81
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: time in New York City. I think he loves New

82
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: York because we get him trashed. He meets a lot

83
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: of people. So Vienna, let's talk about let's talk about

84
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 1: going on safari, Let's talk about whatever you want to

85
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: talk about. Go, well, who want Oh I thought you

86
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: I thought he was going to kick this off? All right?

87
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 1: Has anybody on one of your tours or another tour

88
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: ever been injured doing something stupid while on safari? Yes?

89
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: So recently, like you know, just before COVID. Uh So,

90
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: there are people that went to South Africa and the

91
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: authern Safari on the evening drinks and so they went

92
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: to take a picture with the rhino, like who hastad

93
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: on Satriday. So they came out of the vehicle and

94
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: they went and approached this white rhino. Oh no, they

95
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: started like taking pictures and the rhino charged and injured,

96
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: you know, with a horn Like go, I mean, isn't

97
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: the rhino one of those dangerous animals in the world?

98
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: A man a man because they they're they're very aggressive.

99
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: So you know, these people provoked the rhinos. So the

100
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: rhino didn't really had an option because you know, animals

101
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: they always defend. Animals are like human beings. It's just

102
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: the white rhino extinct. Uh, the black rhino is endangered.

103
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: The white rhino is also endangered. But with the rhinos,

104
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: they are subspecies of them. So the white northern rhino

105
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: women women to mother and daughter. Yeah, so the men died,

106
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: so he couldn't breed with them because they're all his daughters.

107
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: So that part of it, it's almost disappearing now, Vietnam scary. Okay,

108
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: First of all, what's the difference between extinct and endangered.

109
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: Extinct means they're in the past, there's no living species

110
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: of that right, and endangered means they're on a path

111
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: should be in extinct exactly. So I didn't realize that.

112
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 1: I thought that since there's two women left and no

113
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: guys to impregnate the women, then there's not gonna be females.

114
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: There's not gonna be any more white rhinos pretty soon.

115
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: So your theory is correct, because so we called that

116
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: even though they had two left, but they won't breed,

117
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: so we called them as extincted already because you know,

118
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: theoretically there won't be any more of the white rhinos

119
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: in the world, northern race of the white rhinos, So

120
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: whose fault is that you. Yeah, if we can bring

121
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: back a wooly mammoth, which they're trying to do, why

122
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: can't we bring back the white rhino? That seems more important.

123
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: So they're they're they're looking into that option. They're looking

124
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: to do some biological thing in the lab and see

125
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: if they can bring some of them rhinos, but it

126
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: won't really be wild so they're looking at the options.

127
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: How has climate changed effect what you do? How has

128
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: the warming of the planet changed. I don't know migrations

129
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: or the water that's available for the animals, how has

130
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: that changed. It has changed a lot, and you can

131
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: see the impact even as today. So I'll talk us

132
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: for the wilderbist migration. So the wildebist migration follows green

133
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: posts and grasses and water. So we have had shortage

134
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: of rain for the last few years, so the psych

135
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: of them migration has really not been you know, as

136
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: it used to be like for the last ten fifteen years.

137
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,679
Speaker 1: So they were supposed to be up in the down

138
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: southern side where they give birth. So they were there

139
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: in December and there was no rain. It just started

140
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: raining like late late December for like a few days.

141
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: It stopped and then January there was no rain, so

142
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: they were waiting for FABRW like end January early FABRW

143
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: so that they can start dropping their babies. There's no rain,

144
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: so that means these babies cannot really survive. Luckily, the

145
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: wilderbeest can synchronize their bath. When I say that, I

146
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: mean they can hold their babies in their stomach for

147
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 1: up to two months. So they had to do that.

148
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: But some of them had to drop because you know,

149
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: it's it's you have to do it for you to

150
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: be able to move on. So some of the baby survived.

151
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: Some of the babies didn't survive. So the rain has

152
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: been a big, big problem. You go up north where

153
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: they're crossing the Mara River. Last year when I was

154
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: there for the first two three months, the river did

155
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: not have enough water. So the wilder beasts are going easily,

156
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: but the crocodiles that depends on the water to hunt.

157
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 1: They couldn't do lots of huntings because there's not enough

158
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: water for them to be able to do that. So

159
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: that made the crocodiles not to be able to eat.

160
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: They can feed on fish and other small things, but

161
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: if they get a meal like a wilder beast, that

162
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 1: keeps them going for up to a year six months

163
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: to a year without eating because you know crocodiles they

164
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: have very slow heartbit that is one hatbit up to

165
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: shoot sometimes even four minutes, so they haben it very well.

166
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 1: So if they don't have enough water for them to

167
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 1: be able to hunt, they will go for smaller things

168
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 1: and then they won't go for a bigger things. So

169
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: that also somehow gives them a bit of a of

170
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 1: a problem because they've been fitting for years as they've

171
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,479
Speaker 1: been doing that. Yeah, that's so sad. It is incredible.

172
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: And by the way, is that the same river you

173
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: just mentioned? Is that the river that we were what

174
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: we did that. It's a fascinating thing. And you see

175
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: a lot of people who run safari waiting on the

176
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 1: banks for all the wildebeest to jump off the cliffs

177
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: and get the courage to come over to keep the

178
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: migration going. The problem is they're waiting for like one

179
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: to start it. So they're all on the bank going,

180
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:28,719
Speaker 1: you do it, can you do it? You go you

181
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: go first, you go first, and then it could take days, right,

182
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: I mean they or they can just go over. It

183
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: just depends on like how brave they are, but when

184
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: they go into the water they know that there could

185
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: be crocodiles or alligators. Which one is it crocodiles in

186
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: the water or whatever it's it's it's a weird thing

187
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: to watch. We waited for a long time. But once

188
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: they start coming over, and you can look up videos

189
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: of this will tell you. You have videos and my

190
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: Instagram page. I mean, there's thousands of them coming over

191
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: the over the cliffs into the water to start the

192
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: migration again. It's fascinating, it's incredible. I watched the whole

193
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: documentary about that specific moment. I think it's called It's

194
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: either like Death on the River Mara or River Mara

195
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: Death something, and it's all about exactly what you guys

196
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: are talking about, which is this giant migration and how

197
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: the crocodiles just wait and it's chaos. It was amazing.

198
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,479
Speaker 1: It's one of my favorite things to watching in the bush.

199
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: Like almost all of my safaris, if they come between

200
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: July and October, allots take them to say that it's

201
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: it's very nice towards It can take time as you wait,

202
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: but once it happens, you have thousands of them going,

203
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: so it's really really something that I always wish people

204
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: to see. So it is. It is fascinating. There's so

205
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: many things to see and look. And keep in mind

206
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 1: sometimes while you're on safari, are you okay? When you're

207
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: on sa faris, there's a lot of waiting. You sometimes

208
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: you have to wait to be patient. You can go

209
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: out to this really huge grassy field and just wait

210
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: for that line to find something to tackle. And it's

211
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: a lot of waiting, right, But patient and waiting. That's

212
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 1: that's when we test people the level of waiting. Like

213
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 1: you know, we I always say we have visitors. So

214
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 1: these animals they decide to welcome us. Oh, they say,

215
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: like go on, I want to rest. So there's nothing

216
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: much you can do. You just wait for the animal

217
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: to do the action, and if you're patient enough, you

218
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: always get everyone at the end. I was reading a story, Puberty.

219
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: I was reading a story the other day, Vina, that

220
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: some animal numbers are actually increasing, like elephants. Are you

221
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: seeing that in the bush? Are you seeing there there's

222
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: more animals or is there fewer? Yeah, so there are

223
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: species that their numbers are really going high, like elephants.

224
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: In some areas our national parks authorities and the government

225
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: have taken lots of measures to empower the rangers to

226
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: be able to work easily to fight the poaches. For example,

227
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: a park called Tarangi National Park. Back like late eighties,

228
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: they had very few elephants, probably maybe around three thousand

229
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: even less. But as we speak, that park has got

230
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 1: about seven thousand elephants, so the population of the elephant

231
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 1: in that particular park has gone very very high. And

232
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: this is the funny thing poaches. So we have a

233
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: big tree called Albab tree. Albab tree can be like

234
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: half of this room, like massive. We have some that

235
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: even a hundred people have to go around to be

236
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: able to hold hands, and they live for about three

237
00:13:55,320 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: hundred years. So poaches discover that these trees are inside.

238
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: So what poachers used to do they cut the back

239
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: of the tree and they go inside of that tree

240
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: and they live there in the tree, in the tree,

241
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: just waiting for things for their duck to come and

242
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: they come out and they go and hunt. So the

243
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: pack was able to know that, so they started tracking

244
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: them using trees as well. So if you go to

245
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: Tarange National Park you will see some of the some

246
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: of the barbab trees that poachers actually cutted them down,

247
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: like to have that entrance into the tree to be

248
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: able to hide in the such a himbler elves of poachers.

249
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: So is poaching less more? Are still the same problem

250
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: as it was ten twenty years ago? It's less more

251
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: because now technology is advancing. People are now donating lots

252
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: of funds to try and keep the animals alive. You know,

253
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: now they use choppers, they use planes to do trolls,

254
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: foot patrols, They have the camping gears that they can

255
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: go for days out in the in the bush and

256
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: you know patrol. So now the poaching is getting less

257
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: into other animals, but it's getting more into rhinos. So

258
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: rhinos are now really endangered because of you know, poaches.

259
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: People really poaching them because they believe with aphrodisiac it

260
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: helps mane so they the value of it has really

261
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: really gone high into the market. Have you ever came

262
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: to poacher? Yes, I have. I have a few times,

263
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: like back in two thousand and fourteen, two thousand and

264
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: twelve and somewhere around two thousand and sixteen seventeen. There,

265
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: how does that work out? Just let them be? Oh yeah,

266
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: you report them, You report them to the rangers. I

267
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: give them the location, and most of the ones that

268
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: have I saw, they're actually caught. Yeah, because I report them,

269
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: reported them. I gave out their location, and the pack

270
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: came in and they track them and they got them.

271
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: But because you're having people in your vehicle, you don

272
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: want to provoke them, right, So what you do just

273
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: let them, you know, be and you go on. You

274
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: pretend like you didn't see them, you're not having any

275
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: hues with them, and then as soon as you're far away,

276
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: you call the rangers. They always have their numbers out

277
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: that you can reach the Antipoching unit and then they

278
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: will come. It's so much fun to go on safari,

279
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: especially VNA, and everyone can do it. It's it's not

280
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: something everyone else can do and you can't. Everyone can

281
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: go on safari and it does change your life. If

282
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: you check out Elvis Duran's show on Instagram, all of

283
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: Vienna's information is they're waiting for you. You can see

284
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: not only how you can contact Vienna and talk about

285
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: the possibility of going on Safari, but also all of

286
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: his photography. He's become quite the photographer and so his

287
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,919
Speaker 1: wildlife photography is second to none Vienna. We love you,

288
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:24,879
