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.
We catch up with the Western Pride and their little cubs. This last week has yielded some incredible lion viewing here in the Timbavati. The Western Pride appear to be doing well even in the absence of the recently deceased female. The most significant change we've seen over the last month though is that they appear to have accepted the Skorro males as their new pride males. On a number of occasions now the males have been present with the females and cubs - something we have not seen for almost two and a half years. To say we are excited about this is an understatement of note. Our hopes are that dynamics start to stabilize now in the Northern Timbavati. One of the females was also mating with a Skorro male a few weeks ago so we're holding thumbs for good things in the near future
