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.
MALAMALA TODAY: October 17th. We woke up to a magically misty morning but any sense of serenity was short-lived... Driving south from Lion Waterhole we came across the 2 Avoca males who were in the process of bringing down a zebra mare. They’d just delivered the final blow when the Kambula pride appeared. Chaos ensued. Eventually a semblance of calm came and the 6 lionesses settled down a few feet from the males who gorged on the carcass but many more scuffles took place during the course of the day.
