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.

Battle in the Bush
Credits to Kevin McDonald.
Posted on  Jan 1, 2012

"In June 2011, Loreen and I were in Kruger when we witnessed a fight among some lions in the central part of the park. The images I captured of this incident, were submitted to the TV show 50/50 for broadcast on their VeldFokus feature. They won me the honour of being runner up in the 2011 VeldFokus competition, quite exciting!"

This obscure view through branches of a lone lioness on a buffalo kill was all we saw and we were about to leave when a lot of snarling and roaring emerged from the trees below us.


*This image is copyright of its original author
Out of the trees right next to our car stormed a light coloured lioness chased by two other darker coloured lions, one of them a young male


*This image is copyright of its original author
The pursuit continued down the road..


*This image is copyright of its original author
The drivers of this armoured vehicle were delighted by the sight of lions in the road but didn't wait around long.


*This image is copyright of its original author
Keeping ahead of her pusuers the first lioness kept walking


*This image is copyright of its original author
but then she turned around as if to confront them..


*This image is copyright of its original author
What now?


*This image is copyright of its original author
As the lioness neared her rivals they turned on her.


*This image is copyright of its original author
She ran a short distance down the road
Then she stopped and challenged the other two .


*This image is copyright of its original author
At this point I wished I understood better how to read the body language of lions.


*This image is copyright of its original author
Despite her threats, the other two lions advanced steadily. Eventually they were right on her
Things got quite intense, mostly it just seemed like posturing.


*This image is copyright of its original author
The pale lioness gave way
then ran away for a short distance.

*This image is copyright of its original author
She then procceds to roar (as I didn't know lionesses could)


*This image is copyright of its original author
roaring...


*This image is copyright of its original author
The next thing we knew, this magnificent male came into view running around a bend in the road about 100m ahead of us.


*This image is copyright of its original author


*This image is copyright of its original author
He stopped running and let out a spine tingling roar, a most awesome sight and sound.


*This image is copyright of its original author
after roaring he began running again and i held the camera steady and clicked away.

all four feet off the ground.

the two dark lions, seeing what they were up against, bolted into the bush with this giant right behind them, sadly the last we saw of them.
