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.

Unfortunately the breakaway Birmingham pride, have been pushing the Avoca pride out of their home range for the past 6 months. Every time the Avoca have been coming back to their original home ranger, they don’t stay for more than a day or two before being push further west again. Unfortunately the Avoca pride is being squeezed into a smaller and smaller space everyday between the break away Birminghams new home range and the Monwana home range. The next few month will be very interesting for the Avoca pride
The 4 Monwana females rushed all 10 Avoca pride members.
Being out of their core territory they ran away and the old female was the one that was caught and killed.
The 4 Monwana females left the dying Avoca female to continue chasing the rest of the Avoca pride back into Timbavati from Thornybush, then came back and again attacked the paralysed Avoca female for another round.
She died during the early afternoon, 4 to 5 hours after the attack.

Isn’t this the Xikukutsu males’ mother? So they technically took out the grandmother of their cubs.
