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.
Worst news after losing lolparpit, styx and now our beloved jr.
I have not seen the on beat episode yet, but heard the news from a friend of mine in Manyeleti. I really tried hard to get them to help him as it may have been Anthrax and not a snake bite. I was actually told this by another ranger and was shown pictures to compare symptoms.
He was 8 years old.... in his prime. He was voted best looking male lion in Manyeleti. He was indeed an incredible male lion.
I remember him as a cub and then as a young sub adult following his fathers around. He was a big boy!
He has 5 remaining cubs in the koppies pride, sons and daughters in the Skorro breakaway pride and 4 Mbiri females are pregnant.
Unfortunately, the success of the Orpen coalition rested on Junior's shoulders as Buddy is not in the best condition.
The future belongs to the 4 young Mbiri males.
If Buddy can form a bond with Red Rd, maybe he has a chance. They both need a partner now. But that is wishful thinking.
R.I.P to Junior Nkuhuma/Orpen/Matimba
