Trefwoord Big Cats

De jagers van Afrika komen 's nachts uit hun schuilplaatsen. Overdag sliepen ze het grootste deel van de tijd om de hitte te vermijden. Maar nu is hun tijd gekomen. Ze zijn uitgerust met ‘superzintuigen’ waarmee ze hun prooi in volledige duisternis kunnen vinden terwijl ze zelf onzichtbaar blijven. Leeuwen, luipaarden en hyena's zijn de ultieme heersers van de nacht, maar ze hebben allemaal verschillende jachtstrategieën. Luipaarden sluipen als fantomen op hun prooi af en vallen op het laatste moment aan, terwijl leeuwen hun volgende maaltijd in een hinderlaag proberen te lokken en deze als team neerhalen. Hyena's zijn langeafstandsatleten en jagen hun slachtoffers tot uitputting op. Dit alles zou in het donker blijven, ware het niet dat extreem lichtgevoelige lenzen en thermische camera's er waren. Dankzij deze moderne techniek kunnen we een uniek inzicht krijgen in de geheime wereld van de Afrikaanse nachtjagers.

Leopards are considered to be extremely shy big cats. Only a few animals can match the elegance of these feline predators. The cautious hunters are rarely seen in the wild for more than a few seconds. The cats can be observed more extensively when they rest asleep in a tree and recover from the mostly nocturnal hunt. But a leopardess has switched to hunting in broad daylight. Its home along the brook bed of the Olare Orok offers everything a mother needs to protect and nourish its offspring: picturesque rocks and dense bush, a landscape in which the big cat can disappear in seconds to sneak up on potential prey, which includes warthogs and antelopes. But hyenas and lions are always ready to dispute the territory and its nourishment. The renowned wildlife filmmaker Reinhard Radke managed to capture astonishing insights into the social life and hunting tactics of the ambush hunters in the Maasai Mara.
