NARRATOR: This could
be Toto's big night.
[eerie music]
She's spotted a
sleeping antelope.
But she fails to
watch behind her.
Energy burned on a
missed kill is high.
[antelope snorts]
[tense symphonic music]
A scrub hare-- more her size?
[bass tones]
The patience lesson
pays off, but the timing
isn't quite right.
Time to find something
bigger and slower, perhaps.
[crickets singing]
[low rumbling sounds]
[tense music]
[antelope call]
[dramatic music]
It's a swift kill.
And it's her first,
a momentous moment.
Pumped with success,
she gets the kill
up as high as she can manage,
and this time, without fault
despite the immediate
arrival of the competition
and with no backup from Fig.
[tense chords]
And it's right here, right now
that Toto becomes entirely what
she was born to be--
the perfect Leopard, a blend
of both her inherited qualities
and what she learned
from her diligent mother.
