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 King in all his glory at Thornybush Game Reserve

caption by Capture_Africa_ The King of Sepia
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This still has to be one of my favorite male lions...

The Mapoza male has many different battle scars, but the main one being his right eye.

A really powerful image with lots of different contrasts and textures.

The two Mbiri male lions (current pride males of the Mayambula pride in KNP/Timbavati) the difference of size of the mane between the younger Mbiri and the larger Mbiri male is a bit remarkable here.
This probably show the proof that he is a bit younger than his brother!

The bigger of the two Xikukutsu males  on Thornybush Game Reserve.
Will be this the start of the Monwana pride with a new coalition as pride males? Only time will tell... These guys means bussiness!

Always was. Larger Mbirri always had overdeveloped for his age mane, while Shaka had underdeveloped mane. Still both were born in late 2013.

December: Stop at 1:11






When Mbiris came to an age in which mane starts growing, mane of larger Mbiri was developing much quicker.
