Frank and the team are fitting edison's
[2]
tracking collar so this is a new type of
[6]
collar that we're trying it's a little
[10]
bit easier to put on at the other ones
[12]
and instead of having a big lead weight
[13]
of Department all the brains are down in
[16]
the weight as well it may look big but
[20]
for an elephant it's just like wearing a
[22]
watch the collars on now it's time to
[28]
wake Addison up so we just can't jump
[33]
back in the car
[40]
that was after sixty minutes they had to
[43]
touch the sky so let's wait and see how
[45]
long it takes him to wake up the
[51]
antidote counteracts the effects of the
[53]
tranquilizer all going to plan
[56]
Edison should be back on his feet within
[58]
a couple of minutes but he's not
[75]
this is when everything stops and
[77]
everything gets quiet and the second
[82]
hand seems to go around the watch a bit
[84]
slower and you wait for him to to get up
[88]
the first sign will be looking for us
[90]
this is yeah twitching
[98]
you owe me just a couple of minutes is
[101]
there
[105]
he's been down too long and they're
[108]
worried vet Matthew Mouton de Menezes
[117]
another shot of antidote
[136]
my heart really isn't on earth
[145]
you seen this before George yeah
[152]
and like this at all
[167]
stupid time oh thank god
[176]
that's a big relief
[183]
he's paying a lot of attention to it
[185]
he's sniffing it thinking what the hell
[187]
is this thing why am I wearing in vector
[188]
suddenly
[195]
I've only done about telling them that
[197]
every elephant that I have been involved
[199]
in covering leaves you the special
[201]
attachment to the elephants like when we
[203]
follow on the tracking system you know
[207]
what they're like and you feel that you
[210]
feel like an outsider and you see
[212]
they're very light what's an orphan
[215]
tiger I smile always have a feeling for
[219]
