16:19 James gets out of the vehicle to find the lions and sure enough he finds them down in the drainage line. He says all the lioness did was peek at him through her sleepy eye and go back to sleep. They is thick bush and very hard to see but they are there.

James,                              ````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
17:38 The spotted hyena den
First we see Madam lying down with the J-twins, one of them seems to think mom is a chew toy and jungle gym, crawling all over her and chewing on her ears. (This cub is believed to be a female so I "unofficially" am calling her J-twin #1). Some viewers are calling her "Jan" and the other cub "Ary" very cute name combo these names are not used by the presenters though.
Corky is feeding the Dec twins off to the right behind some grass. We know it is her because of the chuck off of her left ear, she also has a circular scar on top of her head in a perfect bite mark; however it is getting harder to see. Well of course also we know because one of her twin cubs "D1" with the white toe comes over to say hi to madam and her cubs and then goes back to suckling from Corky/mom.
The twin chewing on mom is a female we see her "dangly bits" or pseudo-penis quite well.

Sam,                             ````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
17:48 With the sunset sky
Silver cluster leaf with ants on it

James,                              ````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
17:51 Back to the hyena den
Madam has sat up and another cub "November" is by her with her j-twins, who is clearly a male, we see when madam sniffs him and his "dangly bits" or penis shows.
J-Twin#1 (female) "Jan" brings a dried tree branch to chew on and lays right  on Madam, of course, and then the other two cubs want it so that starts some play and tug o war which then turns in to a game of chase and tag.
18:00 Pretty shows up, over by Corky and her cubs.  Corky stands up to greet her, and the cubs go over to join the greeting party
18:00 Then pretty comes to greet madam and then James at the vehicle.
18:11 We see the beautiful sky above the trees at the den. It has gotten very dark at the den and it is near impossible to see the hyenas so as James leaves.

Sam,                             ````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
18:15 Is now with the sleeping Nkuhuma lions one with head up for a few minutes. Sam's smile when we cut over to hi is huge he is so happy to be at his first Big cat sighting with WildEarth - Safari Live

James,                              ````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Goodnight from James and the Thumb, and of course, Bryan.

Sam,                             ````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
One last view of a sleeping lionesses.
 Sam says his goodnight and thank yous to the crew and viewers for his warm welcome.
We are thrilled to have you Sam welcome to the family!!
