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.

MALAMALA TODAY: February 8th&9th. Lions: Given the current ‘baby boom’ within the Kambula pride it’s difficult to keep track of what exactly is going on... like which lioness is denning where for example. As far as we can tell there are currently 3 litters of 4, 2 and 2. Over the last 2 days we had 2 amazing sightings of the lionesses who have 2 cubs. Both sightings were in the vicinity of our airstrip. 2 Gowrie males and another lioness were all seen separately but also around our airstrip. The Styx pride and another Gowrie male were viewed to the east of Mlowathi Dam. The 2 Avoca males are still feasting on their giraffe kill in the south and made a half-hearted attempt today at catching another giraffe.
In addition to these 3 litters.. atleast 3 cubs were killed in last 1 week. (1 at Rock Drift donga and another 2 by one of the lionessess)
