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.
A heartbreaking and somewhat disconcerting scene a few days ago when we found some of the mbiri lionesses and an orpen male still bloody as they lay among the remains of one of the koppies lionesses and two cubs after a brutal fight. It’s not unusual for lions to kill each other or cubs for that matter but to find the male still chewing on the lioness was definitely a first for me. Photo credits: Roan du Plessis
