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.

She has a long way to go, but she is in the area in Simbambili where lion activity is very low, Nkuhumas rarely venture there.. So if she manages to raise the cub to the point when leopards and hyenas cant kill it when he is alone (most cubs die in this period, under 1 yrs old) , chances for raising the cub to adulthood will be pretty good..
Also, judging by the body structure and size of this cubs pawns, i think its a male..
