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.
Guess what? We spotted the other Matimba male lion on our traverse. In our initial sighting we spotted him lazing around with a full, protruding belly. This morning he was seen again, but this time he was roaring constantly ! Could he have been trying to contact the other Matimba male? We don't quite know, but it was nice to see this ginger-maned lion!
And, once again, ranger Marius Zeilinga was there to photograph this male in all his glory.

The huge male could be heard roaring constantly. We speculate that he was on the lookout for the "Hairy male", the other male within the Matimba coalition of two.
