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.
During the month of February, a total of 24 sightings of lions were recorded.
The Shishangaan Pride were predominantly sighted towards the south and west of the lodge, with their roars serenading the guests during most evenings.
The remaining Kumana male with the droopy lip was found in attendance of the Shishangaan Pride, and early one morning he was seen mating with one of the lionesses. Although old and haggard looking, he is still maintaining his territory towards the southern section of the concession.
The Mountain Pride was the pride most often viewed during the month. After spending the first part of the month towards the northern reaches of the concession, they moved towards Pelajambu and Monzo area. All 14 members still appear to be fit and healthy.
