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.

2 styx lion cubs have been killed by the Birmingham males lions.
It has been an unfortunate morning. The two female Styx lion cubs have been killed by the 5 Birmingham males. The male cub was seen running away with two Styx females in the direction of the rest of the pride and the 2 Matimbas.
We think the two lionesses had gone to fetch the cubs they had hidden the previous night, and were moving in the direction of the pride when the five Birmingham males found them. One of the males carried one of the carcasses north, far away from the scene. This is a natural process and is very common behaviour for lions.
This was an incredible sighting, tragic as it may be. This is Nature's way, and we are there be observe, learn and (sometimes) enjoy.
