There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
MALAMALA TODAY: May 15th. 5 lion sightings: 3 large males (Mantimahle) moved north through the southern half of our property before settling down in eastern Flockfield. The Eyrefield pride were viewed in southwestern Charleston- this pride has suffered another blow as the aforementioned male collation of 5 killed the oldest male cub. The Marthly pride were seen at Paraffin Drift. 1 of the Matshapiri males was moving west just north of Rattray's Camp. 1 of the young Sand River males was viewed near Flat Rocks. 3 leopards: the Sibuye female killed an impala in the Nontsemeni Donga. A male known by our neighbours as the Mahlatini male was found with a bushbuck kill as well as an impala kill in southwestern Charleston. The West Street male was also viewed in the south. Scattered elephant and buffalo bull sightings were recorded today as well as many hyenas. Photo of the Mantimahle males by ranger Johannes D Welman @johannesdwelman_photo
