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.

Two of the Four Nomads chased and bought down a buffalo today during our Big Cat Photo Safari here in the Maasai Mara. It's an encounter seldom seen, so we were priveleged to have witnessed it. It follows on from yesterday's aardvark and Tuesday's wild dogs and rhinos. It's been a remarkable week so far.

January 2016 Rooikop. I was one of 2 people to see this sighting. Jan of 2016 was epically hot, 52 degrees. This kill happened late morning. It was a massive struggle as a lioness stalked and brought down this starving oryx, but still needed the help of 2 huge males who showed up from behind us, seemingly out of nowhere! Just demonstrates the struggle for all species to survive. After the hard fight to finally kill this huge antelope, the two males dragged it right towards Nick Rabjohn and I to shade! I could hardly believe our luck!! They practically delivered it right to us!!

3 young lions trying to take down a female rhino (think specimen of the black subspecies, but not sure).

The endurance of the pregnant female is impressive!

edit: something went wrong with the video insert...

@Fredymrt :

About #77: very impressive hunting ! But I didn't know that some lions lived so far in the South Africa. Were these white lions introduced there ?

@sanjay :

About #440: we perhaps don't realize in average the zebra weighs twice as large as the lioness. Really amazing to be there at the right moment.

Tactical approach for sure. Once the buffalo is grounded its over. Good solid teamwork
