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 came across these 2 lionesses from the Nshawu Pride with their 8 playful young cubs finishing off a buffalo calf near Mopani in the Kruger National Park. The 2 big pride males had already finished feeding.
It was incredible to see the cubs playing around and learning with whatever leftovers they could get their paws on while practicing hunting skills for the future. There is so much going on in this sighting with the endless energy of the 8 cubs, 1 of the 2 big male lions eventually decides to join in and see what's going on and performs the flehmen grimace.
