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.

This is the Giraffe male with a bursa or cyst on his left hip (One of the four that were born in Sept 2009) He was easily identified by the bursa or cyst on his left hip. Apart from that he was a big handsome male who liked his own company. Tintswalo described him as 'the lone Giraffe male that usually spends time by himself away from the rest of his brothers.' He had the hip cyst since 2015, but his health deteriorated rapidly at the end of 2017 in Manyeleti and he was not seen after.
