Wildlife Diary is a 26 episode documentary series broadcast on the South African Broadcasting Corporation. Billed as "the ultimate in reality TV", the series used 24-hour cameras filming a nature reserve in the African bush, tracking the life and death of a handful of animals.

Main characters

  • Roelani - a male leopard whose quest goes way beyond that of survival. He longs for female company.
  • Felix and Zero - two powerful male lions who are masters of hunting. It is thought one died during a fight with a Rhino, but his body was never found.
  • Alph and Biggles - two male wild dogs which are locked in a struggle for dominance
  • Flippy - a delinquent male elephant who has rebelled against elephant ways; he is insecure and aggressive
  • Koba and Shunga - two male cheetahs who share everything, including their females
  • Tiya - a teenage spotted hyena with royal blood as she has inherited her mother's dominant status
  • Maggie and Lisa - sister lionesses that suffer great hardship and tragedy while raising their cubs
  • Melissa - a female cheetah who has failed in every attempt to raise a litter as she is too slight to fend for them
  • Tiny - the first rhinoceros to appear in the series.
