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 coalition of the four Birmingham Male lions and the six Ntsevu lionesses continue to enthral us. This week they have been seen on regular occasions across the central parts of the reserve. They are not always all together and there has still been regular mating activity between some of the individuals. We are hoping that some of the females give birth soon and ponder the fate of the cubs that we know some of the other females have had but we are yet to see.
We have had regular sightings of the four Birmingham males and there is a still been a fair amount of mating between this coalition and the lionesses of the Ntsevu Pride. On this particular morning this male was seen trailing behind two lionesses.

A lone Birmingham male listens intently to the sounds of the night. His brothers were not too far away and we heard him roaring a couple of times before heading off to go and find them.
