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.

Becoming a Man: By William Buckner.

In his book How Can I Get Through To You? (2002), author Terrence Real describes visiting a remote village of Maasai pastoralists in Tanzania. Real asked the village elders (all male) what makes a good warrior and a good man. After a vibrant discussion, one of the oldest males stood up and told Real;


I refuse to tell you what makes a good morani [warrior]. But I will tell you what makes a great morani. When the moment calls for fierceness a good morani is very ferocious. And when the moment calls for kindness, a good morani is utterly tender. Now, what makes a great morani is knowing which moment is which! (Real, 64)

Wise words, indeed!

Majingilane Update....


We are sadden to report that 'Scarnose' has passed away. He was found in the area around Singita earlier today.

We knew that the end of the Majingilane reign is near, but nevertheless it is heartbreaking to actually see it unfold.

May Scarnose rest in peace knowing that the Majingilane will forever be remembered as a powerful coalition and may their offspring carry on their legacy.....

RIP Mighty King.......

Scar Nose was my favorite lion of all times... it’s strange reading that... I’m not able to take it in. I was working on a painting of him today and I thought all day about where he could be... 
Farewell my King.

So sad, but he wrote his name and power in the History of the best lions...

@Tshokwane: hermano me entristece en sobremanera está noticia,  he seguido de cerca los últimos acontecimientos, aún cuando lo nieguen  muchos, Scarnose y sus hermanos han hecho historia pura.

Rest in Peace King Scarnose. The Majingilanes will be complete again soon. You will be with your brothers again.

Scarnose really had this know it all and seen it all vibe about him. This also shows that the western block is not such a good place to be from a hunting point of view, game can come through only from 1 side and as a result if you are a lion you better hope there is enough game in the area to hunt. The end came quite abruptly and I am still a little confused about the whole hunting situation. All the buffaloes had left the area I heard?
