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 Styx Pride and Nkuhuma male were moving through the thickets when we spotted them, stopping in a perfect position for us to witness some interesting morning social interaction. Initially, the males were showing some interest in one of the females, who was taking no nonsense and gave the two young males something to think about. The boys then kept their distance for a while as the females proceeded to chase each other around playfully before settling for the morning. Almost as one, all their heads were raised from sleep as the distant call of lions reached their ears, but when the roaring stopped, they wasted no time in going back to sleep. It was incredible watching these lions interact in the winter colours of the bush.
