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.
Who knew that one flick of a lustrous golden mane could cast such beauty upon the surrounding landscape. A lion in the middle of thickets certainly makes for a beautiful image. This is one of the Mbiri male lions, a powerful young male lion that oozes charm. His strength, confidence and suave looks are admiral qualities in a male lion.
The two Mbiri males haven't gone unnoticed by the female felines of the area, and they're often spotted enjoying the company of the Ross Pride Lionesses. Jan Pienaar captured a few images of this beauty sniffing the air and shaking his mane free from flies. So regal!
