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.

Date of Birth: December 2000 Mother: Tavangume Female Father: Wallingford Male
The King of Londolozi
The Camp Pan Male is an enormous male leopard believed to weigh close on 90kg. His massive fore quarters, dark lines under his eyes and split tongue make him unmistakable. This powerful male holds a vast territory, moving incredible distances daily, patrolling the entire area marking his territory.
His territory overlaps with lots of females, including Vomba Female, Mashaba Female, Tutlwa Female, Maxabeni Female and Nottens Female.
Camp Pan was born west of our boundary to a female called the Tavangume female in December 2000, fathered by the Wallingford Male. Initially, after becoming independent around 2003, he spent a lot of time around Singita Camp Dam from where he got his name. In 2007 he moved eastwards onto Londolozi where he dethroned the dominant Sparta 5-5 Male virtually overnight.Since then he has taken over the territory of Manyelethi Male (Paleface) who died in September 2009 in the eastern portion of the middle section of Londolozi. Initially he seemed to be pushing his territory further and further north but recently the Marthly male has made this territory his own and is actually putting pressure on Camp Pan, even being seen south of the Sand River on occasion. Sightings of Camp Pan north of the river are now a rarity.
