Mark Trail and his guide venture into African safari territory where they discover a gorilla and encounter a dangerous situation involving army ants. Trail devises a plan to use the meat as bait to lure the ants away from the camp before they can devour their food supplies and attack the humans. The expedition faces further peril when they are captured by indigenous warriors who have killed a gorilla they worship and now seek revenge, threatening to execute Trail and his companions.

Mark Trail

Mark Trail explores the ingenious "sleep gun," a wildlife capture device designed to safely tranquilize animals without harm using a dart loaded with nicotine gas. Created by a friend in the Wildlife Service, this innovative tool uses surgical rubber and compressed air to fire its payload, with the impact triggering a chemical reaction that peacefully puts the animal to sleep. Learn how this groundbreaking invention evolved into the carbon dioxide-powered version that wildlife professionals now rely on around the world.
