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.
In the nice warm afternoon light, these four male lions were lazing about in an open area, only lifting their heads when an unsuspecting herd of impala moved into earshot. The herd soon saw the wandering eyes and let out a few alarm calls to let the lions know they had been spotted too.

Gore. He looks great. It's not often that we get to see pictures of him.
Umkumbe River Lodge, picture taken today, 21 July. This beautiful boy is usually seen with the lone Southern female these days. Guarding her and protecting N'waswitshaka cubs.
Four N’waswishaka males were seen today, trailing a herd of buffalo. They watched their prey cross an open area. When in the exposed open plain, the males waited, biding their time until the herd slowly made their way into the thickets beyond. The males then leapt into action, fully exposed. Unfortunately, their attempt was unsuccessful, perhaps the next will be more promising.
