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.
The gorgeous young Darkmane Avoca back in October 2015 at Shindzela Tented Camp at around fifteen months old. It was sad to see him go out in such a violent fashion. He never really fulfilled his potential as one of the biggest and best looking lions around; due to injury, but he did live to see his sons grow up, and he was seldom seen without a pride, in particular the Talamati pride who helped keep him fed. He originated from one of the Timbavati royal lines that possessed the leucistic gene. His paternal line was the Giraffe pride through Brutus and The Good (who I believe was Brutus's father), and his maternal line, the Avocas, were originally a Giraffe pride breakaway.
