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.

The Chase
We were about to leave them in their blissful slumber, when another Ranger announced on the radio that there were 4 Buffalo moving directly towards the Lions. The Buffalo came within 30m of the Lions oblivious to their presence! We watched, we waited, we waited, and we waited! Eventually the Lions got the Buffalo's scent and decided to spring into action! One went directly towards the buffalo, while the other 4 circled around.
Suddenly, everything sprang to life and we had buffalo scattering, lions coming from all directions, and buffalo’s running for their lives! The lions made a valiant attempt, but these buffalo were seasoned campaigners and managed to shake off all 5 male lions, leaving the lions hungry and confused, and back to sleep they went.What a chase!
