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.

Yesterday Fransie Booyens had a very sad sighting of Cyrus being attacked by a clan of hyenas. He was in very poor condition and did not even have the strength to fight. Sadly this will probably the last sighting of him... Even though he was 12 years old, he was still in great condition up to 6 weeks ago from where is condition just deteriorated to almost nothing! This questions whether his condition was disease related... It is sad that his journey has come to an end... But we know he has lived a good life! Even though he will no longer be patrolling the H14, we know his legacy and excellent genes will live on.
