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.
It seems the healthy, fuller-maned Matshapiri male is still alive after the battle and doing well. He had some fresh battle scars but nothing too serious. I post the info I saw on the bottom. They were just copy and paste info so I don't know the original link; maybe some of you guys know where the original URL is. If anyone knows the link please share with us.
MALAMALA TODAY: July 5th. Zebra. Not a species normally mentioned in these updates although we are dazzled by them daily. This morning, at Clarendon Open Area, we could've been excused for thinking we were in East Africa... over 100 zebras and 2 herds of wildebeest came to drink from the dam mid-morning. It was a spectacular sight as rival stallions fought and foals playfully ran through the grassland. 2 lion sightings: He's back! The fuller-maned Matshipiri male was seen in the Sand River west of Elephant Rock. He's sporting some fresh battle scars but nothing too serious. The Eyrefield pride were viewed moving east from the Sand River towards Jakkalsdraai Open Area. 2 leopards: the Senegal Bush male was found east of Bicycle Crossing as he continues to push into Treehouse male territory. An unidentified female moved westwards away from Main Camp. We forgot to mention it in yesterday's update but the Bicycle Crossing male was seen last night moving south in front of Rattray's Camp. Many elephants were viewed today as well as excellent general game sightings and 2 flocks of Ground Hornbills. #malamalagamereserve #itsallaboutthewildlife
