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.
The Machimba/Eastern male. A fine specimen of male lion. Last sighting of this magnificent cat was in early 2020 in the Northern parts of Kruger. Not too far from where he was sighted sometimes (Ingwelala/Ntsiri/Northern Timbavati). Unfortunately, his brother had a sad fate, was killed by poachers back in the day. Isn’t surprising, due the facts many lions from Timbavati in the past had meet the same fate as the Machimba male.
