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.

Leopards of Sabi Sands

From Nkorho Bush Lodge, Credits to Nkorho Rangers:
"24 October: Headed back into the area where we found the leopard and its kill during the morning. He had seen us and ran away very quickly, so we wanted to know who this leopard was. After a bit of tracking and seeking we found Sindile/Madiba male leopard. He was a little bit skittish at first but slowly settled down a bit."

He's still sporting some wounds from the last battle, but he looks magnificent.

Dayone is still a bit beaten up, but the wounds seem to be healing well.

Currently, the oldest male leopard alive in Sabi Sands: the Bicycle Crossing male.

From Mala Mala Game Reserve, photo credits to Max Waugh:
"The Bicycle Crossing Male is perhaps the most dominant male leopard at MalaMala. He has the largest recorded territory of any male in the Sabi Sands."

From Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve: 
"Maxabeni was found this morning and just as we were about to move on, we spotted a fresh drag mark crossing the road. He had taken down a sub-adult baboon in a drainage line and had begun feeding on it when we found him."
