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.
Seen on safari this weekend: The three Tsalala males have been seen quite often in the North, especially around Bush Lodge. Over the weekend they followed a large herd of Cape Buffalo and were able to bring one down right in front of the entrance to Bush Lodge. This has attracted many scavengers such as Spotted Hyena and Hooded Vultures. Some hyenas wait patiently for an opportunity to steal some meat from the lions. A female Bearded Woodpecker poses perfectly on a young Knobthorn Tree.
A lovely Egyptian Goose was seen feeding within one of the smaller pans on the reserve on a fresh early morning.
The Southern Pride stalked a herd of impala but one of the younger cubs’ curiosity spooked the impala in the wrong direction. They were moving all over in search of a meal, even taking them as far as the Sabie River.
