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.
"Hoping to rob the leopard of its food or to have leopard as food I suppose. But the male leopard was up the tree already, and it had been mating, not feeding.
Anyway, the lions had plonked themselves down for a bit, looking longingly up at the leopard now and then. The leopard soon settled itself down, and did not look like it would be descending for a while. Maybe it was thanking the lions for breaking up his marathon mating session (and getting smacked for his troubles). The lions soon got bored and moved off.
As there were no leopard kills for the lions to rob, no leopards for the lions to kill, and we were just killing time, we decided to move on too. It was only 8 in the morning of that dreary 13th, and we had already had mating leopards and lions chasing one up a tree. Neil, our ranger said that some lionesses with cubs had been sighted in the area. So we said, "Sure!", but thinking "Cubs, Shcubs!", not to mention flat lions.
We were already happy campers, but we went lion cub hunting."
