episode description

Rudie has his job cut out for the day. In order to move Jupiter, a caracal that arrived at Naankuse 6 months ago to a bigger enclosure Wild Dogs have to be moved to a cheetah enclosure, the cheetahs into a caracal enclosure and the caracals into another wild dog enclosure. After collecting some volunteers to help Rudie goes to the two cheetahs where he puts out capture cages with bait inside - hopefully the cheetahs will go into the cages. They then set up capture cages in the Wild Dog enclosure to try and catch the two wild dogs. Back at the cheetah enclosure the cheetahs show no interest in the bait so Rudie darts them and puts them into capture cages. In the mean time the Wild Dogs have gone into the capture cages and they are taken to their new enclosure. Then it’s off to the caracal enclosure where 3 caracals are easily lured into capture cages and taken to their new enclosure. Finally, all that's left for Rudie to do is to move Jupiter to her new enclosure, but there is a problem - she seems to have difficulty walking and they take her to a vet in Windhoek where they find that one of her legs is broken. Pins are inserted and she's taken to Naankuse to recover.
