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.

Thats the last Southern Avoca. He has been missing for quite sometime, being last confirmedly sighted at February, and looked really injured.
Since then, just a few weeks ago a skull of a male lion was shared by a ranger at Lion Sands and it is most likely is Southern Avoca's, so i fear this picture isn't recent.
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Umkumbe post this photo as the background of the page's profile? If so, I would say it makes it more likely to not being a recent photo.
Ye I’m 99% sure that photo is months old, the angle with the truck behind to his left is so familiar, and like u said, I’m fairly sure that recent skull belongs to him.
