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.
Vicious, brutal, unforgiving - as hard as it is to watch that is nature. The African Bush takes no prisoners. And when you are the apex predator, you are in charge. Here the dominant Male Lion of the Zimanga Pride in no uncertain way dispatches competition - in this case, an unlucky Hyaena. "

《 The Wrestle 》 When I started wildlife photography, I made a promise to myself that I would always accept what I would witness or photograph. Nature does not abide by human rules. Nature has its own delicate balance, and we simply have to accept how that balance is played out. Predators control the environment and ensure that prey numbers don't blow out of control. But predators also control each other. There is an apex predator in the African Bush and that is the Lion. Beautiful, sleek, powerful l, they have long captured the imagination of wildlife lovers the world over. And they hate Hyenas. Hyenas hate Lions. Its an eternal battle that plays out across any game reserve where these two species live together. Sometimes its just a chase. Sometimes its juts not the Hyaenas day. I appreciate that this is hard for some to see. Its violent. It's graphic. But at the end of the day is just another day in this cycle of nature. And that's what you must appreciate it for. "
