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.

From Ezulwini Game Lodges: "Chavaluthu - "afraid of nothing" - has been spotted after a short absence following a notable injury inflicted on his back leg. This legendary blue-eyed leopard was seen sporting a nasty wound a couple of weeks ago, but now seems to be on the mend. As usual, this fantastic leopard gave us a relaxed, close-up encounter and we couldn't be happier!"
"Chavaluthu's wound still looks severe even after a couple of weeks, but he is definitely getting stronger and is walking without a limp. He seems to be keeping the area clean, which is helping the healing process."

"It seems his discomfort has not changed his attitude towards us at all, and this fantastic leopard once again allowed us an amazing up close sighting as he strolled passed the game viewer."

"When we first noticed Chavaluthu's leg wound, it was fresh and he seemed to be in pain, but now he is strutting his stuff as usual! We assume he was injured by a warthog in an attempted hunt, but there is no way of knowing for sure."

"This was Chavaluthu as we found him last week, resting up under a tree - his wound looking rather worse for wear, but as our most recent photos show, it is indeed getting better."

"Leopards are incredibly resilient and Chavaluthu shows just how tough they are. He doesn't seem to have lost a meal considering his weakened condition, and he looks as sleek and healthy as always."

"Paying no attention to his admirers, the blue-eyed Chavaluthu continued on his way without so much as stopping for a photograph!"
