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.
It's been so interesting getting back into the male lion dynamics in Southern Kruger National Park this week. We had a great sighting of these 2 males who couldn't be more different looking, although they are both part of the same coalition of 4 (S26 coalition)
The second male (Styx male) is a real character, he has an injury to his jaw, most likely the result of a kick from a large prey animal such as a Giraffe. He has apparently had this injury for a long time and it is amazing how he manages to survive and remain in such good condition!
