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.

2 of his sons, Monwana males invaded his territory and mated with 1 of his Giraffe pride females. They found his father on the road and chase him away. Also 5 Vuyela/young river pride males where also seen in this area.
Even mighty Black Dam male as lonely male cant hold his own against multiple youngest males, it seems that new generation of males are starting too establish themselves in Timbavati with Nharhu, Vuyela, Monwana and Xikukutsu males. Giraffe male might be next in the line.
He is a survivor and has managed to see off bigger coalitions though this area is turning into a pressure cooker. If the Vuyela don't move off, in a year they will probably see off everyone else. His sons are good looking lions though.
