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.
Just a note on the Black Dam Pride. The Black Dam pride was formerly known as the Southern pride, but after the Black Dam male (who hailed from Black Dam) became their pride male in 2016, they have been known as the Black Dam Pride. Then a year later when the Giraffe male ousted the Black Dam male, they are still known (perhaps erroneously) as the Black Dam pride. There's much to admire about the big Giraffe male; the way he holds down a pride of 6/7 females on is own (he did kill one lioness when he took over) and the tolerance he shows his 13 or more cubs.
