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.
At Close Quarters:
This morning we headed out and drove towards the Manyaleti boundary in search of some lions. We soon found some tracks that were made early the night before. We followed the tracks and soon found some very fresh ones. A few minutes down the road, we found them, 3 lions walking towards us. They moved onto a large termite mound and posed beautifully for us. Shortly thereafter, they headed into some longer grass and contact called, lifting their heads above the grass, this made for some stunning images. We then found a zebra carcass nearby, it had been injured by lions about two weeks ago. Something had killed the weak animal and had eaten part of it during night.
