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.

As we were doing our early morning game drive inside the MalaMala Game Reserve, we got word that a lion was roaming around near the river. As we were driving through the field and river, we did not find him at first but then, another ranger spotted him walking down one of the dirt roads. As we drove near him, you could tell he was on a mission for water. He went down to the river and began drinking then after, he began to call for his other two brothers. From a distance, you could hear them responding to his roar. Eventually, the brothers met up and it was such an amazing experience to witness their interaction. This shot here was when the second lion was just chilling near the river as it was lightly drizzling. So majestic. I’m so elated to have captured my favorite animal. Not one but, three.
