So that was really our mission.

And when we got there, we found him a lot of the time alone.

But usually at sort of dusk, he would give out this location call.

And a location call is low, like, that's what it sounds like, like this, this low guttural call.

And suddenly we saw, you know, six, seven lions come to his side.

And at that point, he was living in a pride of lions of 14 individuals.

And yeah, he was not only keeping up with them, but even trying to join them on hunts.

He was getting involved in altercations with those big male lions that I was talking about.

And he was even driving off hyenas around the buffalo cogs.

I've got footage of him literally taking on hyenas.

Yes, he's limping as he goes.

And I think he kind of knows, you know, some of the limitation.

But, I mean, there's footage of him, you know, trying to run, trying to, you know, Jimmy and Mustafa have said that they've seen him hunting Cobb on those three legs.

You know, a lot of the time he'll just join the pride when they've made a kill, but they've seen him hunting.

So Jacob himself, he's actually moved 80 kilometres north from the south of the park to a place called Chambura.

But historically, he moved from Uganda into the Congo and back.

So this is the interesting thing about a lot of lion populations in Africa that we don't consider as members of the public and even scientists concerned.

These are multi-passport holders.

They move across international boundaries, sometimes two, three countries at a time.

And that makes them quite difficult to conserve and manage because whose lion is it really?
