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 Kashane male leopard pauses his descent from a marula tree to make sure that the pack of wild dogs that chased him up there are gone. These sorts of conflicts between predators are typically over competition for food.

The Piva male descends a tree carefully after feeding off the impala kill that he had hoisted earlier in the day. Leopards in the area will usually hoist their food in order to protect it from being stolen by lions and hyenas.

The Inyathini male leopard notices something in the distance, by his reaction it was more than likely potential food. The eyesight of leopards fascinates me, as even through my binoculars I could not see what he was looking at.
