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.

" After searching for lions for a good part of the morning, we found them after they attempted to hunt, sending a large herd of buffalo careening through the thicket and letting us know where they were in the process. The buffalo herd was very on edge, as the lions stayed close behind them, waiting patiently for another opportunity. "

Atch the video again.. Ranger mentions savanna camp where they heard lions roaring during the night. They woke up and find Othawa Male near the camp looking skittish and nervous. After finding the Othawa pride, they figure out what exactly might have happened after analysing the tracks. Othawa pride responded to what was happening near the camp and then headed back. Othawa Male perhaps came to investigate what has happened during the night. Didn't roar or scent mark as per the ranger. Rather he was looking strange.

Nkuhuma cubs are recovering well from mange, and looking much better on WildEarth Safari :

Anything can change fast, but for now without any challengers on sight, it seems that N. Avocas will succesfully raise their first offspring in Talamati and Nkuhuma prides..
