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.

One of the bigger male leopards seen on Londolozi in recent years, the Emsagwen male wasn’t often encountered, since most of his territory fell outside our borders. He was occasionally seen in the NE reaches of Londolozi, but sightings were infrequent at best.
He was initially unrelaxed around vehicles, and it is therefore assumed that he originated in the Kruger National Park. His initial territory lay along the eastern border of the Sabi Sands and Kruger.
His disappearance in the latter parts of 2011 remains a mystery, but there were some suggestions that he had met his fate at the hands of a pride of lions. His death left a territory vacant, and the Dudley Riverbank 5:5 male, who was battling for territory with the Camp Pan male at the time, moved across to fill the gap, granting the Camp Pan male a lifeline.
