00:00Well the capture team's all here, they're getting ready, it's about 5.30 in the morning.
00:06Getting ready with the chains, these huge rolls of conveyor belting are going to be
00:10used for winching the elephants up, so then everything's go.
00:14The vets are just arriving in their cars, as the sun pops over the horizon, the capture
00:18teams are getting ready.
00:24So this is about moving live elephant, okay, so we're going to work like demons until we
00:30get this done.
00:31Well here we go, now we're going to make our way towards where the chopper is, and everybody's
00:43on the go.
00:44So the call has come through from the chopper, exactly where we've got to go, and the most
00:54important thing is to get to these elephants as soon as it's safe.
00:58Elephants can't breathe through their mouths, so if an elephant falls asleep on another
01:02elephant's trunk, it can cut off its air supply, and obviously that's crucial to keep that
01:06open.
01:07So we're just waiting to hear from the chopper, Jackie the vet is in the front, and she's
01:23in direct radio communications.
01:49You know when you look at the team that's here, the expertise that we surround with
01:53at the moment, the capture experts, the pilot himself has got to know the elephants, know
01:57how to push them, the vet himself has got to get the darts in the right place, and to
02:01do that, the pilot's got to get them in position, so right now, it's actually all about the
02:05pilot.
02:06It's super important that the big ones go down first, because these little guys, particularly
02:30if everybody's darted, can get squashed under one of these big elephants when they go down.
02:34Oh.
02:35Fine, has it gone down on it?
02:36No, but it's standing up.
02:37Oh, no, man.
02:38There's one that might go down on top of another one, yes, so you guys have to be quick when
02:42they do go down.
