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.
Swipe to travel in time! Back in 2018 during my very first week at the lodge in Thornybush I got to see the Black Dam pride and their young cubs (see the last photo). Four years later we went back to Thornybush for a site visit and saw the same cubs, who are now in a coalition called the Black Dam males and they’re looking big and strong! Please note: it’s difficult to tell if the cub on the photo is the exact same lion as the male. However we do know that both lions are one of the six males in the Black Dam coalition.
