Filming the science team from NRF for our series ‘The Wild Bunch’, they were able to DNA sample and code 45 lions in three days. This set up a data base for the African lion which is the most quantitative (and probably qualitative). This would have taken weeks or even months in the wild, so captive lion facilities, whilst I am not a fan, have their uses. Thanks to Prof Antoinette Kotze and her amazing team.
