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 Black Dam males moved up north again after being away from the area for a little bit. It seems like the lion dynamics are changing completely, also since Mapoza has not been seen for a while now.
Early in the morning before game drive heard the deep roars of multiple male lions. We knew immediately that the black dam males were back in the area to claim land. We found them not too far from the lodge still patrolling along the boundaries of their territory. We were able to get ahead of them a couple of times in which then then walked straight passed us. Insane feeling to be so close to these big cats, especially since it was 3 of them together. They were marking territory persistently in order to make sure that there is no doubt about who claimed this land. Epic sighting!
