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.
Excitement is in the air as we catch our first glimpse of the two new Mhangene pride cubs. It has taken a number of weeks of tracking and investigation, however a little bit of luck helped us to see these gorgeous, fluffy lion cubs. We estimate that they are between two and three months old as their mother has kept them very well hidden between the reeds and palm thickets in the middle of the Sand River for quite some time now. We are looking forward to spending more time watching as they grow and hoping they will become healthy adult lions.
The three Tumbela males continue to stay resident north of the river and have been seen much more frequently. With reports that the Matimba male had chased them off, it seems as though these males are keeping a lower profile until it becomes their time to take over a new territory.
