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.
We got news that there was a lone lioness on a kudu kill in the riverbed. We headed there only to find the kill and no lion. A female hyena came and started eating on the kudu, we watched her for a while before a leopard came out of nowhere through the riverbed and chased off the hyena. This big male Leopard ate on the kudu for a while before 3 hyena came and claimed back the kudu. Knowing he had no chance against 3 hyenas he strolled away from the kill.
We stayed with the 3 hyena for sometime before they suddenly just ran off in a fright, we just knew that the lioness is close and then she appeared through the long grass. She gave chase at these hyenas and made her presence well know. She claimed back what was hers and ate on it for a while. What an epic morning it was and it all happened around our vehicle.
