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.
1994 The C males of the Mpanamana pride rejoined their natal pride at five years of age and tried to exert dominance over the pride wanting to mate with their mothers and aunts. The lionesses would have none of it and two bigger and darker maned lions chased them off and claimed the pride for themselves.
This coalition lived on the basalt plains of Kruger National Park, about halfway between Lower Sabie and Crocodile Bridge camps
