Gabby SykoraHOST
Mm-hmm.
Devon KerrGUEST
And I'm basically looking at how birds' behavior changes with heat and humidity in the Lowveld.
Devon KerrGUEST
So, um, under extreme heat, birds start need...
Devon KerrGUEST
When they...
Donovan CrossHOST
Hello, everybody.
LukeHOST
And, um, Don's just returned from a fairly substantial private safari, and, uh, to two very special places for us, um, which is the Lowveld and Tswalu.
LukeHOST
All right? Both in South Africa.
LukeHOST
And what was quite interesting is when we started talking about this this morning, said, "Hey, man, we should do a podcast on the whole thing," um, you said that what your guest really wanted was a contrasting or two contrasting environments for the safari.
LukeHOST
Yeah.
LukeHOST
So yeah, and I know there's two...
LukeHOST
For a lot of people, when they come to South Africa, they just think about cool Cape Town and the Lowveld and...
LukeHOST
Well, the Lowveld, when we say that, we mean the Kruger National Park sort of region.
Siv NgesiGUEST
Ah, okay.
Rozanne McKenzieHOST
So you guys shot a lot of the stuff in the Lowveld.
Tim TheronGUEST
Yes.
Rozanne McKenzieHOST
And I mean, that comes with its own challenges, like animals just walking around when they shouldn't be.
9 MINS LATER
Tim TheronGUEST
I can't wait to watch it.
Rozanne McKenzieHOST
Ja.
Tim TheronGUEST
It's right up our alley, all of the good vibes, and all set in the Lowveld.
Tim TheronGUEST
It's gonna be beautiful.
Ruben DelmageHOST
And, uh, I was privileged enough to go up with him in a flip as well.
Ruben DelmageHOST
And I mean, it was the first time in the Lowveld for me-
Kevin WoodGUEST
Yeah
Ruben DelmageHOST
... uh, being up in the air there.
Wouter BotesGUEST
I can still talk to you.
Wouter BotesGUEST
Do what you have to do." I was on a flight for one of the very well-known charter companies, and I flew to the Lowveld in a Caravan, and we had 12 passengers, or 8 or 10 or so, and I had a co-pilot with me, and we flew down, and on the way we f- we flew into a s- we flew, approached a squall line, which is a nightmare for any pilot.
Ruben DelmageHOST
Mm.
Wouter BotesGUEST
A lot of thunderstorms in a row.
Ruben DelmageHOST
She's got great content on there.
Ruben DelmageHOST
But a typical day for somebody like you, I mean, flying into luxury lodges and in the Lowveld and so on, I mean, that must just be unbelievable.
Megan NelGUEST
No, it's, it's really nice.
Megan NelGUEST
I mean, I feel...
Muhammad KatradaGUEST
Because they're so large, they do catch a lot of wind.
Muhammad KatradaGUEST
And with that, the, the, with the storms that we experience in the Lowveld, the, um, different, uh, movements of the tree, et cetera, will allow those seeds to disperse.
Muhammad KatradaGUEST
And essentially that is how this animal, uh, this, this tree will then reproduce and start growing in, in other areas.
Ibrahim DayaHOST
Okay.
Muhammad KatradaGUEST
Um, if we break it down in terms of the different animal species that, that, that benefit from it, we find that it becomes a food source for two types of animals.
Muhammad KatradaGUEST
The first being those animals that are consuming the leaves, and the second is those animals that are consuming the, uh, fruit pulp and the seeds.
Muhammad KatradaGUEST
So things like your indigenous parrots here in, in, in, in the Lowveld, your gray goaway birds, uh, many people refer to them as loeries, they will feed on the, on the pulp of these, uh, these fruits, et cetera.
Muhammad KatradaGUEST
Um, and then another very important ecological role that it plays is in terms of pollination.
