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.
Charleston male with a snare on his neck!
"This male lion has a snare around its neck most probably placed by poachers on the fringes of Kruger National Park. Several cars of people were warching two male lions crossind the road but I was able to see there is a snare only after I zoomed my photo to see why this lion has a grim face, his lips looked swollen and saliva was driping from its mouth. We turned back and rushed to the nearest rangers' post to report it. Hopefully it was saved. This time..."
