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.

iSimangaliso Wetland Park
When a nervous mother hippo decided to return her five-day-old calf back to the pond, a tragedy unfolded on the banks of the St Lucia Estuary in Kwazulu-Natal’s iSimangaliso Wetland Park. What started out as curious behaviour in the pond turned violent as this young male (pictured) snatched the baby. Sadly, it was no match for the male. The calf died two hours later after being attacked a second time by @staceyfarrellphotography
