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.

True, but apparently he's slowly managing to put some weight over it. With enough food, something they don't lack, he will be ok.

We managed to relocate the Birminghams this morning along with tree Styx females as they were moving towards a pan.

One of the Nkuhuma Lionesses and Birmingham males have been mating recently. In between their copulations, they even managed to pull down a juvenile buffalo which they have been feeding on.

From Mala Mala Game Reserve:
Turf war for a big meal

The Birmingham males appear at min 3:00 more or less, they chase away the Tsalala youngsters. 

You will see that Male 1 is still limping a bit, but it seems much much better. Also, you will notice how their manes are darkening, which is I must say, really cool.

"We had the Birmingham males resting with a couple of lionesses (presumably Styx) less than 100m from camp this morning!"

What a phenomenal video.
The game drive shows were the best thing about "big cat week."

Tusk Photo:
Elephant Plains Safari: Thankful we are not Buffalo …

After refreshmants we started our drive again, and soon found four of the Birmingham male lions. As we settled down to photograph them it started to rain, and we had an amazing moment where we could photograph the lions with strong backlighting and rain falling onto them. It was quite a surreal moment, especially as some of the lions started to roar – adding to the awesome atmosphere.

When the lions got up and started to walk down the road we pulled ahead of them to get images of all four walking towards us with rain pelting down. Magical! It was really special to see the four large, powerful animals walking directly towards us and totally dominating the space! We were extra pleased that thank goodness we are not buffalo!
