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.

She is the mother of the 4 new cubs.
In line with the recent conversation on human intervention, I doubt there are many who would disagree, that at times like this it would be nice for some veterinary intervention in Sabi Sands.
It's a very hard subject. I have generally stood on the side of leaving things be. I am very glad that the Mara has done a GREAT deal of assistance with NaShapai and her cubs because Cheetah are in such dire straits. But some intervention here is not necessarily changing the balance of the ecosystem. She has 4 cubs, and if anything, the over-population of Hyena is a much greater threat to Sabi than one Lioness and her 4 cubs.
