The Wildlife Orphanage

At the entrance gate of Harnas some neighbors give a small orphaned baboon into the care of the orphanage.

In order for he African wild dogs, Tom and Jabu, to have a bit of variety, volunteer Tom wants to teach the two football games. But the wild dogs are afraid of Tom's ball.

At some point the two tame meannesses Hansel and Gretel have to be released into freedom. However, the two have to learn that in the wilderness their food is not served on a silver platter and that they have to make an effort to hunt for food.

In Marieta's kitchen there is always plenty going on, here the very youngest farm animals are personally supervised by the farm chief.

Karakale can jump out of the booth up to three meters high and that is exactly what volunteer Nina wants to train with them today.

Every morning before dawn a troop sets up on Harnas, controlling the fences. The volunteers and tutors Tertius are greeted by the three adult lion males Brad, Pax, Maddox. But when the cats of prey turn around and secrete a full load of urine towards the group...

On Friday the new volunteers come to Harnas. After a short introduction, the work starts. Elke is divided for the warthog babies Salami and Polony. The rappers are already waiting for their bottles.

Until now Jacobi was and today receives a new enclosure. The baboon is to live with his fellow-citizens in the future. In order for the monkeys to get used to each other slowly, Jacob's new home is right next to a baboon. As far as the plan. But Jacobi has a reputation as an outbreak king of nothing.

In the north of Namibia is the Cheetah Protection Center and volunteer Nina is on the road to look at the professionals at work. The US researcher Laurie Marker has been studying cheetahs for four decades and is a coryphae in the field. Every man's hand is seated there, but Nina is still not very friendly when a change is made to a cheetah without any anesthesia.

The animal natives of Harnas get their food served on the silver tray. Ina and Klaus, two grown nile crocodiles, have been respected for 25 years on the farm.

At Okutala Etosha the "little ones" are the focus. The three baby giraffes Namib, Oba and JJ get a milk bottle one last time before the gate to freedom is opened. Veterinarian Simone Herzog and Volontär Andreas have all hands full to do with the already 2.50 meters large offspring.

Even among cheetahs there is morning muffle and the small orphaned Tyson does not find it funny at all that volunteer Johanna wants to steal the cuddle blanket. She wants to exchange the blanket only for his best - maybe it will work with bribery!

Two dissimilar friends are on a stroll: the Hope colt and the Blue calf will be carried out today to explore the surrounding area. But the bill was probably made without the host, because Blue is not at all enthusiastic about the halter.

Hansel and Gretel are on a hiking trip. The two tame meerkats explore the surrounding terrain with Sunna and Caro. The two really quite rotten contemporaries are fire and flame in search for insects and strange habitations.
