Mark Rawlings and his team are still in the Andes
filming Penny, a puma. They have managed to get quite close to the big
cat and gain her trust over the last summer. In this instalment of
Mark's video diary, he describes how Penny is currently spending a lot
of time with a mate, so Mark and his team are sure that she 1) (will have)
cubs in the spring. If that is the case, they are unlikely to see much
of her over the winter which 2) (will be) over anyway, as pumas, like most of the
large cats, tend to hide away when the weather is bad. If Penny is
pregnant, she 3) (will have) the cubs by early March and they 4) (will leave) the
den about three months later. Although Mark doubts whether she 5) (would come)
out to hunt much in the next few months, he 6) (will stay) until she 7)
(reappears). Once the team 8) (finishes) filming Penny, they 9) (will go) to
North America to track down the grizzly bear, but Mark 10) thinks it to be
such a pleasant assignment!
