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.

Jv Images : Seeking the best genes
After 18 months on birth control Tigress Indira has come back into estrus.
The first male she met was Khumba but he is only 30 months old and too inexperienced.
Indira then met up with Sundaban and mated a few times with him. Sundaban suffers from Kryptorchen ( His testicle are inside his body.)
Sundaban does not have the testosterone or energy to mate many times so Indira rejected him.
Then Indira met up with Corbett and the two have mated over 100 times over a period of 3 days.

Jv images : Tibo protects her cubs.
Tigresses are fearcely protective of their cubs. When a new male Khumba approaches, Tibo immediately attacks him.
Although bigger and heavier than Tibo, Khumba is young and inexperienced and immediately submits.

Jv images : Waterbuck release
One can never predict what an animal will do after release. Three of the 4 waterbuck cows stopped a short distance away from the release point. The fourth cow ran straight into a fence which was 1.5 kilometres away.
After trying unsuccessfully to break through the fence three times, she broke her neck on the fourth attempt. Their habit of going into marshes and tall grass make waterbuck a good prey species for tigers.
Tigers are ambush predators and will have to be very smart to catch the alert waterbuck.
