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.
This huuuuuge Sand River male (supposedly) had travelled for quite a distance (>50km) when we spotted him in the Mara. This is the exact moment when he spotted a lioness by herself and began chasing her for approximately 500 metres - I presume to mate.
She wasnt having any of it and ran away after which she sat down about 100 metres away from him as they both caught their breath. This love was definitely hostile but I love the look in his eyes - so much strength, so much focus, so much determination. But that day he learnt an important lesson - the lady always wins
