Woo- Hoo! James is Back!!
With an elephant, he's a nervous bull around 16 years old James guesses. HE heads toward the Djuma pan where there is a buffalo. On the way we see a Nyala bull and some impala at a quick glance.
The elephant chases one buffalo out of the water then another to a mud hole in the dam area, where several other buffalo bachelors are resting. HE then lies down in the mud and then goes towards James in the vehicle.

17:58 has arrived at the Birmingham Boy coalition's sleeping spot.  One of them sits up and yawns several times. Another rolls over and has a boo-boo on his toe. 

James,                                                   ````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Tingana who tries to hoist his warthog kill into a tree but the tree and the weight and awkwardness of carrying it seems to be too much and he jumps back down drags it a big and beings eating again while nervously looking around

Brent,                                                   ````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
We go to Brent since the B.boys are getting more awake and grooming.

James.                                                   ````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
One last look at Tingana as James is leaving the sighting to not increase the likely hood of hyenas finding it.

Brent,                                                   ````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Several of the boys are up and grooming themselves but so far not up and walking.
Brent tells us the exciting news that one of the Styx lioness has given birth to cubs So exciting news new Birmingham Boy's cubs!!
One of them is still off mating with a lioness. The boys get up and start to walk south and Brent is going to let the other vehicles go head of him he will then loop around for us to get a great view of them

James.                                                   ````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
James is headed to Quarantine clearings to see if he can find the Serval or one of the other rare animals we have been seeing. 

Brent,                                                   ````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Following the B.Boys who get a quick drink act like they heard something and change direction.
While Brent repositions so the lions walk towards him we go to James.

James.                                                   ````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
James and Wium say their good nights.

Brent,                                                   ````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
The B.boys have laid down now. We can see two of them
