00:00
a hyena pup, a couple of lion cubs, and a meerkat.
00:04
Friends?
00:06
Okay, real talk.
00:07
Hyenas and lions aren't exactly known for getting along.
00:11
And under normal circumstances,
00:13
a meerkat would merely be a snack for these guys.
00:16
No, this isn't a Disney film.
00:19
It's Lobe's Predator Park in South Africa.
00:21
True story.
00:23
These guys met when they were just babies.
00:25
Kala arrived as an orphan
00:28
after her mom was caught in a farmer's trap.
00:30
Safari and Susie were rejected by their mother at birth.
00:34
And little Pakal here was found
00:37
wandering alone without his family.
00:39
- He was very cold.
00:42
He was almost on the edge of dying.
00:44
And I pulled him through.
00:47
- He might not be an apex predator like his pals,
00:49
but you'd have to tell him that.
00:51
- I think Pakal thinks he's in charge.
00:55
He's rough with him, he likes to play.
00:58
But if they get rough with each other,
01:00
like the lion cubs and the hyena,
01:02
then he will come in between.
01:05
- After a couple sad twists of fate,
01:07
rather than hunt each other,
01:08
these would-be foes would sooner share a plate.
01:11
At least when Pakal has his way.
01:14
- When he's hungry, he will turn around
01:16
and push his butt towards them.
01:18
So he's pushing them out of the way so he can eat first.
01:22
And they must be submissive.
01:25
Yeah, he's the dominant one.
01:28
- Pakal's become somewhat of an intake coordinator
01:32
for the sanctuary.
01:33
When Carla first arrived here alone,
01:36
it was Pakal who made her feel at home.
01:38
- Pakal.
01:40
Pakal, come, Pakal.
01:41
Pakal and Carla like to play with each other.
01:48
Pakal likes to jump on top of Carla's on his neck
01:51
or he will clamp down on him
01:53
and think he can hold him back.
01:55
- And when activity time rolls around,
01:57
you can really see the Napoleon complex come out.
02:00
To stimulate curiosity,
02:02
the cubs and pup are given large ostrich eggs
02:05
and Pakal, the much smaller chicken egg.
02:08
But of course, the little one wants
02:10
what the bigger kids have.
02:12
And what Pakal wants, Pakal takes.
02:14
Ah, it won't last long.
02:18
The orphans are growing fast
02:20
and soon their predatory instincts may kick in.
02:22
Pakal's managed to avoid injuries so far,
02:27
but Carla's starting to try out her strong jaws,
02:29
which are designed to crush bones.
02:32
Once she's full grown,
02:33
her bite will be five times stronger than ours.
02:37
So just imagine what it could do to a meerkat,
02:39
even by accident.
02:41
Meanwhile, the twins will soon be 200 times
02:44
bigger than Pakal,
02:45
which means their wrestling days are numbered.
02:48
In a few weeks, the natural born predators
02:50
will be relocated to larger enclosures
02:53
fit for larger carnivores.
02:54
- Carla and the lions and Pakal,
02:58
they all stay together now.
03:00
They are friends.
03:01
But when they're a bit bigger,
03:03
size is going to be a big issue.
03:06
They need to go back with their own species.
03:11
So that's difficult for them to be together forever.
03:14
- Okay.
03:16
So they're not destined for your typical
03:18
run-of-the-mill Hollywood ending.
03:20
But come on,
03:21
even Disney couldn't script a friendship quite like this.
