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.
These two boys are a dominant pair of male lions at Londolozi. The bond between male lions is very strong and is reinforced by affectionate greetings of rubbing their heads together. However the way they approach each other always seems uncertain whether they are going to fight or hug, something I tried to capture in this image.
