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 story of this leopard has become the stuff of legend. Feeding off a kill with his mother as a cub, the 5:5 young male was somehow adopted by the 3:4 female after she brought her cub to feed on the same kill. Unbelievably, this old leopard took it upon herself to raise this cub of her daughter, and it was solely thanks to her efforts that he survived to independence. A further twist in the tale was that when the 3:4 female was old and becoming infirm, the 5:5 male was seen sharing kills with her on multiple occasions. Male leopards are not known for sharing kills with females, but the fact that this male repeatedly did so with the 3:4 female suggests some very strong tie not previously documented in leopards in the wild.

Upon approaching full size, the 5:5 male began encroaching into the Camp Pan male’s territory around the Londolozi camps, and for a while looked set to establish himself and topple the older male, but the disappearance of the Emsagwen 4:6 male in the east left a territory vacant, and the 5:5 male simply headed there instead. He has remained there to this day, despite losing the use of his left eye, possibly in a fight with another leopard.

As of mid 2015 the 5:5 male has started being seen in a number of spots far outside his usual territory, suggesting that he is under pressure from other another male(s) or has already been ousted.

He is believed to have killed the October 2015 litter of the Tamboti female.

Territory:
A male that claimed territory fairly easily in eastern Marthly upon the disappearance of the Emsagwen male. We continue to see this male occasionally around the eastern portion of Londolozi, both north and south of the Sand River.
