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.
Like father, like son.....one of the many growing sons of the Drift male lions Hosi and Socha

In the years that these two huge lions have been in power over the central Klaserie, they have produced more than 20 offspring that have survived the first, dangerous few years of lionhood. Many sons have now entered their nomadic phase and so, for now, we see only sporadic sightings of them - and know of at least two that sadly perished in this difficult time. This young male is stil young enough to co-exist with the pride for now - though his handsome mane grows thicker and soon he will be cast out like the rest.
