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.

Any idea if the older lioness (Birmingham daughter) is one of these girls? Has she been seen recently? Would be a disaster for her if she split from them. Great to see 6 of them on that last slide though, they're looking great.

Great to know she's still about and still hanging with other members of the pride. Thanks!

"This mornings game drive was teeming with excitement! We had one incredible sighting after the next!
The morning started with the thrill of watching a small pack of African Wild Dog on the hunt! They were seen in a large open area that usually has vast herds of plains game, and it was incredible to see their speed!
Guests were also treated to a herd of elephants drinking at a thickly grown drainage line. The scene so exquisite, accompanied by all the bird calls and splashing of water.
To end off a magical morning, the Styx pride was seen scattered along a Tamboti thicket. Some of the females playfully stalked one another right in front of the vehicle to the delight of our guests!
“Catching the early morning sun rays on the cooler autumn mornings...
As the sun rose, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink, the members of the Styx Pride were seen lounging around an open area. This tranquil scene follows a busy evening, where they were likely out hunting.”

You can really see Ubuso in our boy Floppy Ear.
He’s doing real well living on his own when his sisters are visiting with the gijimas. He’s gonna be a great survivor and hopefully he finds a partner.
Any side by side pics of him and uboso? Will make comparing easier. Uboso was the more dominant of the group at the time so most of the older cubs are his.
