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.
There they were again, roaring the whole night, we knew what was waiting for us on game drive. We left the lodge with the last vocalisation of the males on the background. When we found them they were still moving north deep into the territory of the Monwana pride. The Black Dam males moved directly into the direction of where the Monwana's were seen the night before, but weren't able to get to their location. The Monwana pride moved away into the Timbavati, probably because of the roars of the Black Dam males.
The shift in lion dynamics in Thornybush Nature Reserve is becoming more clear and I am curious to see what the Monwana pride females and sub-adult males will do with another encounter. Will the Monwana pride return or will they stay for north?
