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.
The Mhangene pride seems to have settled well in the west and have been a constant source of viewing! This is probably due to the constant presence of the large herd of buffalo. As soon the herd moves, it is inevitable that the lions will follow. But in the meantime, we love spending some fantastic time with this impressive pride.

At one point, one of the adult females moved off with a Majingilane male for a few days. Although they were seen mating a few times, it is unlikely that she was ready for a new litter, and was probably in a state of false oestrus. She did not seem all that happy with the male’s presence, and she returned to the pride a few days later.
