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.

A single Birmingham male was found in the early morning sunlight as he marched towards the distant roars of his brothers. He eventually lost interest and settled up in the shade of a tree for the rest of the day.

The Ntsevu Pride were not seen as often as we had hoped this week but even so we managed to have some great sightings of them with their new cubs. With so many cubs to look after they have their work cut out for them over the next few months as they try and get through this vulnerable age. Luckily for the lionesses the Birmingham males continue to remain a strong and stable coalition in their area and this bodes well for the protection of the cubs.
These six belong to two different lionesses and with knowledge that most of the other lionesses have also given birth we are all very excited at the prospect of seeing the whole pride together at some stage.
