The narrator, Coyote Peterson, describes a team's mission to tranquilize and collect biometric data from a pride of lions in the Kariega Game Reserve. The team, including field veterinarians and a camera crew, has spent the day searching for the lions, which have been located on a fresh kill.
After receiving a radio call confirming the lions' location, the team decides to dart all four cats for safety reasons. The lions are darted one by one, with the final lion being darted by Doctor Waldo Dreyer. The lions are then watched as they succumb to the effects of the tranquilizer serum.
Once the tranquilizer takes effect, the team moves in to collect biometric data. This includes a small hair sample from the tail, checking body length, paw length, overall health, and microchip identification. The data collection process is compared to a doctor's check-up in human terms.
The narrator expresses excitement as the team gets up close to the lions. The lions are examined closely, with the camera team capturing the lions' features. The lions are described as massive, with large ears, dense manes, and powerful claws. The lions are also described as having incredible eyesight, with the ability to see during both day and night.
The team's final task is to insert a microchip into the lions to keep a record of the animals. The microchip is inserted through a small needle into the soft shoulder blades of the lions. The lions are then administered reversal drugs to wake up and return to the wild.
The narrator concludes by expressing awe at the beauty and power of the lions and the importance of their conservation. The team's adventure is described as epic, and the narrator encourages viewers to subscribe to the channel for more adventures.

6. The lions were successfully darted, measured, and marked for identification, and a microchip was inserted for future tracking. [Source: Document(page_content='00:10:35.97: Wow cool, alright, so where\ndo you insert the micro-chip?\n00:10:38.77: - The way I insert a\nmicro-chip is basically,\n00:10:40.54: a big needle, it's about\nthe size of a grain of rice.\n00:10:45.31: - [Coyote] I don't like needles,\n00:10:46.58: I don't do very\nwell with needles.\n00:10:47.85: - So we insert it\nright in the middle\n00:10:50.18: between the soft\nshoulder blades.\n00:10:51.38: So we just make a\nlittle dent in the skin,\n00:10:53.18: put it underneath the skin.\n00:10:54.65: - Just a little prick right?\n00:10:5
