10:41 am
a confronted with nature's power and the so how are you such a inching many plants and animals have disappeared in recent decades. and are thriving but this landscape used to have a lot to offer different plants including acacia and plenty of animals like israel's antelopes ostrich is rabbits and hyenas. today that's all gone actually it's just kind of a you also don't see wolves foxes and many types of birds anymore and i think they've all disappeared i think. got up to go anyway back in the day there were even wild cats here because it was dangerous to work around alone before we could easily hunt as we traveled and we always had enough to eat that's what nomadic life used to look like that would know we all know that like magic you 1st.
10:42 am
of. all a and a mom i'm worried about the upcoming strange head has to pass through an area completely devoid of loose hair and food and with his driest dust. under the scorching sun the young animals would stop walking and die miserably in hate as with the goods. the only way in mama moon i can see them making it across this deadly zone with the animals is to trust at night to. see that stark work toward it.
10:43 am
just keep going stright. you can only cross this area at night almost nothing froze here mathematics trimly dry and hot the animals can only make it if we go at night exactly. packed. i will taste but it was just straight up is that it. we drive ahead with a cot and use the lights went around sure that this you know i'm a ritual over the load as a career i. know that manchester was going to work that it should work but they just need to follow our lights on that was there some of our mission city mohammed if you want to start.

10:46 am
the table i'm going to find out about something other than. the to go to the animals and make sure the herds don't make. the cut but. this agitation i think the lack of. the 1st the animals are getting impatient once again see mohamed has his hands full as he tries to keep the herd close to get through the watering hole he can't lose a single camel. is also busy you know kate's hoses and brings water to the goats they have to hunt he was looking for a new villain us only after libby able to breast implants. i
10:47 am
