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.
Excerpt from Londolozi Blog - Week in Pictures - by James Tyrrell, 19, October, 2018. This Birmingham male had been mating with the Tsalala female close to the Londolozi camps. When male lions want to assess the reproductive status of a lioness, they analyze pheromones in her urine by use of their vomeronasal or Jacobson’s organ. Immediately after testing the scent of the Tsalala female, the Birmingham male began walking away, heading back towards the rest of his coalition. This most likely indicated that the female was not – or was simply no longer – in oestrus.
