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.
During the beginning of the game report period the 6 Eyrefield males were seen together with 6 of the females of the Eyrefield Pride and provided some hunting action but were unsuccessful. Frequent sightings of members of this pride were made from Rattray’s camp itself, including sightings of one of the old lionesses from the pride who was not looking in good condition. However, the fragmented nature of this pride continued with most sightings consisting of either the young males together or small groups of females. One has to wonder whether these separations are becoming more permanent with the young males coming of age and looking to confront either the ageing Rollercoaster males in the south or the equally ageing Split Rock males in the north. The majority of these youngsters almost have full manes and are promising to become a formidable coalition looking to reclaim the former territory of their fathers, the West Street males. To this date, however, they have not been heard roaring with any confidence or engaging in any real aggressive behaviour.
