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.
One of the best resources for lion information in the Timbavati has been Shindzela guide Johan Smalman. He always identifies the lions he photographs. Unfortunately he's moving to Australia, which is going to leave a gap for quality information. Yesterday he captured the Sumatra male with the Hercules pride at Shindzela. November 13, 2018
