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.

This young fella had a run-in with two older males. He ran out of the bush right in front of our vehicle, got a fright and did what cats do ... straight up a tree. He wasn’t very good at it.
south of Gomo Gomo. The lion crossed the tar road from the Timbavati side, running quickly. He saw our vehicle and went straight up the tree.
(Look like as one of the Ross males in 2017) Anyone knows it?

I don't think size of his mane changed in the past 2 years or so. He always had well developed mane on his throat and very poor on his neck. Recent picture for comparison:

After yesterday’s sighting of an unknown pride of 5 females (3 adult, 1 subadult and 1 cub) and 3 males (2 subadult, 1 cub), we didn’t expect the action this morning!


3 of the Vuyela coalition were heard in a distance, while the pride of 8 were feeding....they looked up and became nervous, finally running off as the coalition got closer.

The 3 males then showed up to start feeding. Suddenly one of the smaller females came back, we’re not sure why.

She was then mauled by the males, but luckily survived the attack and walked away. Two of the males then continued to feed on the buffalo, growling at the third, who wasn’t allowed to eat. What a crazy encounter to witness so early in the morning!!
