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.
Shot of Marvin the Monwana pride male in 2009 in Thornybush before he reached his prime. I'm posting this shot to show how similar Marvin looks to the two Monwana males fathered by the Blackdam male, one of whom is still alive. Marvin was one of Blackdam's older brothers, and must have been a hell of a fighter, he battled the Blackdam male and his partner the Timbavati male and initially held them off. Even when they eventually won, he hung in there and joined their coalition. Image by Tangala Safari Camp.
