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.

Its just unbelievable that something like that can happened in the most "secure" area in whole Kruger, in the area wheres even TV broadcast of wild life, i can only imagen what is happening in other parts of Kruger then..
Circumstances are still quite unknown, a lot of prob false information is coming thru, but one thing is sure, he was shot by humans and out of Sabi Sands, that means gate/fences where/are down.
I cant believe that Sabi Sands/Manyeleti can allow themselves to have holes in their fences, unbelievable..
Just reading up on this now. This is so shocking to think in 2021 they are still letting this happen. I remember Tinswalo recently saying how the Talamati pride almost escaped through a fence too. I can't imagine what would have happened to them if they did...
On another note, I just saw that Dark Mane is back with the Talamatis, as expected. Leaving lion politics aside, I'm amazed at how much he's developed over the past year. He's really taken on a very dark tone-- not just his mane but his whole body.

The Ottawa Male as reported by Singita as never being spotted on his own or away from his pride. This got me thinking---- is he really out their patrolling and defending his territory as he should? Maybe not, and that's why all the nomads feel so comfortable there and also the Mhangeni Pride is always wandering to the south. Not a criticism of OM> maybe he's just missing that instinct since he was never really nomadic.
