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.

RIP King!
"A very very sad Sighting indeed.
We sat with this Lion for some time. He was on his way out..
When we 1st saw him, he was in a terrible state, as his lower Jaw was completely Broken and Hanging. Must have been in a Fight or his Prey got hold of him.
We watched him looking at the Antelope across the dam, yet could do nothing.
We watched him watch us, before he took his last breath and his head fell to the Ground. His mane still moving as if he was running gave us hope, but it was just the wind doing its last tricks... It was really sad to watch.
Using the Binoculars, I saw his eyes fade away, pulling back into the eye sockets...
In the end, I felt good to be there, as I know he used to be the center of attention among all photographers, and I could take the last one. He knew we were there.
Rest in Peace Giant. You will not be forgotten."
