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.

Or Xhosa.
Cwaka (Quiet)
Inkokheli(Leader)
Kwik (Anger)
Chrum (Youngest)
Though I recall the local native language is Tsonga. Which google translate doesnt cover.
Yeah Google translate, while a great start is not very reliable.
The Xhosa words for anger and youngest are "umsindo" and "ntondo", respectively. Cwaka is an onomatopoeia for silence so a more fitting name for "quiet" would be Zithulele
Of course, I would rather leave the official naming to the rangers, this was just a point of correction.
