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.

Shaaz Jung: " From the Archives | In my early days of guiding safaris, big bull elephants in ‘musth’ weren’t my favourite animals to encounter on the track. The number of times I’ve had to put the pedal on the medal, with the jeep in reverse, is far more than I’d have liked. There’s no bigger rush than taking a blind turn on a beaten track and coming face to face with a giant, but as a guide, you’re responsible for everyone in the jeep. Not many understand the dangers of an angry bull and I think most guides would agree that it can sometimes be nerve wracking when you’re leading a Safari with clients. I absolutely love elephants but the jungle has taught me to respect them most. .

Musth’ is a condition in bulls that makes them highly aggressive due to high levels of testosterone. These levels can be 50 times greater than an elephant that isn’t in musth. These bulls often discharge a thick secretion called ‘temporin’ from their temporal ducts on the side of their heads. .
I photographed this elephant with my Nikon D3000 and 70-300mm in 2010 and it was the only image I took before I quickly realised what was happening. "
