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 video was taken by guests (a ranger) in the night of July 3rd 2010.

??We followed up on the Mapogo male lions that were found this morning in the vicinity of the Day One Drainage line. They were still in the same place, north of Day One Loop, just two the west of the drainage line. There has been some interesting developments with the coalition, as the two in the north east apparently were in a fight with a new coalition. One of the Mapogo was killed, as well as one of the new coalition (there were five)!
The remaining Mapogo male immediately moved south and joined up with the four brothers on our concession. All five were together this afternoon! After watching them sleep for 45 minutes, one got up and moved slightly off, before starting to roar! The other four joined in, making it the first time I have heard five males roaring together in 3 and a half years!

Mapogo Welcome mapogo roaring
July 14, 2010 | Filed under: General
Well I have been well and truly welcomed or should I say put in my place by the resident coalition of 5 Male Lions.
My second day out on drive and all 5 Mapogo’s were together again for the first time in a while. We arrived as the sun was going down and the older male decided to reinforce his seniority and began roaring toward our vehicle. Not to be out done the other four responded but were too lazy to get up and roared while still lying down. Surround sound African, the most intense Lion audio I have heard that sent shivers through us all. Many Thanks to my guest Ellie for sharing his footage.
