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.
MALAMALA TODAY (and yesterday): August 24th. Lions: About a minute after leaving camp in the morning we came across the 3 Manyelethi males at our causeway. Roaring as they walked we followed them into the Manyelethi River and towards Stwise. They then stumbled upon the 5 cubs of the Marthly pride who scattered upon sight of the big males. The coalition then continued westwards and encountered buffalo bulls- they made a couple attempts at bringing down the formidable beasts but were unsuccessful. The Kambula pride were east of Main Camp. Down in the south we viewed the 2 Avoca males with the 2 Eyrefield lionesses.
August 25th: the 6 lionesses of the Kambula pride were found near Campbell Koppies- several fresh scars indicate that they were involved in a squabble over night. The Manyelethi male with the scarred nose was near Rattray's Camp. The 2 Avoca males and Eyrefield lionesses were seen in western Charleston.
