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.

"Three years ago I arrived here @andbeyondphinda and three years ago these lions had just taken over the mountains and the plains of the southern and western parts of the reserve. At the time their manes were short and red but together they ousted the old male who had previously held the territory. In these past three years we have watched their manes lengthen and darker with age and confidence. We’ve watched them father cubs and commandeer carcasses... unfortunately we have even watched as one of them met his undoing in a battle with their territorial rivals... who knows what year four will bring??"

Those Bayala Males look like identical twins in this photo. Very distinctive features. Hope the remaining one can keep his pride long enough for his youngsters to come of age.
