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.
Lion dynamics are continuing to shift in an unpredictable manner to the point where we haven't seen the Western Pride for close on two weeks. Two weeks prior to this they appeared only with the intention of investigating the carcass of a large animal of which hundreds of vultures were a tell tale sign that something had died. They stayed for a night and then disappeared again. Before this sighting, they hadn't been seen for a further two weeks. Apparently a couple of days ago they were sighted to the north of us in the Umbabat - good to know they're still alive. The two lions captured in this video are members of the Sark Breakaway Pride who have spent the last couple of days trawling up and down the Nsharalumi River, our guess is that they are brother and sister. The Jacaranda Pride have also braved into parts of our traverse and on one night even took down a young giraffe. They appear to have moved back to their usual territory. The Mayambula Pride made an appearance last week in the more southern areas of our traverse. They preyed upon a buffalo for several days and we managed to have wonderful sightings of these lions. It seems a void in the heart of our area is begging to be filled by a formidable pride, the question is, who is going to secure it for themselves?
