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.

@Tshokwane :

About #254 and #255: undoubtedly, the two Charleston males love squabbling.

"The Charleston males were found this morning and after it started to heat up rather quickly, they high-tailed it into a nearby Tambotie thicket."

From Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve:
"The Charleston males moved towards an open area where they found two of the Southern Pride females. When they spotted the females, the males made a run towards them but stopped mid-way to have a little scrap with one another."

@Ngala :

About #260: these two male lions are undoubtedly lovebirds as concerns hugs and brawls. Too funny !

Yesterday afternoon the Charleston males ventured back on to the property and met up with one of the females of the Southern Pride as she was returning to her den site.

Amazing photos of the Charleston Males fighting...the two are really crazy..always fighting for dominance. Let's see how they will do against the Matimba Males. They seem to be very powerful and full of aggression.

Matimbas are not a threat to them, they probably gonna push them away. They have bigger threats, the Mantimahles are getting closer.

Exactly, Matimbas are past their prime.
Mantimahles are in their prime and with numbers on their side they are the real problem for Charlestons
Also Mantimahles are becoming notorious killers...

From Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve:
"Seen on safari this weekend:
After a few days since the departure of the Matimba males, the Charleston males were found near Selati Camp. Here they decided to become active and walk a very long distance, continuously scent marking during the mid-morning high temperatures."
