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.
Sadly we have just received the news that the inured Matshipiri male has died. Unable to hunt or move far owing to a broken leg, he would have slowly wasted away. His carcass was discovered on Mala Mala.
With only the single Matshipiri now left, but seemingly on the run from the Avoca males, what will happen to the tiny cubs that at least two of the Ntsevu lionesses are believed to be denning...
More updates coming soon...

What a sad end to the story of these two. The remaining Matshipiri needs to abandon his prides and comeback later with a new partner because being a lone dominant male in Sabi Sands is a death-wish.
