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.
The 5th Mpondo male! All hail the king...a large adult lion scans his territory after a night full of heavy rains. Territory is everything to these large predators, and rain washes away many of the signs that delineate this male’s territorial boundaries. It will be a busy day of reestablishing his presence through scent marking for this king of the savanna. I was lucky enough to spot this fellow while on safari with friends in Kruger national Park in South Africa.
