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.

When you have got the whole damn to drink from but you are so close you drink right next to each other. Two brothers as thick as thieves! .

One of the Birmingham males charges admission to pass. As one era ends, another begins with a new stronghold taking form at Londolozi. Respect

Very exciting things are happening at the moment. We have viewed 2 different Birmingham males breeding with a Styx Lioness. The Lioness is believed to be the mother of the last litter of cubs.

The Lioness that was mating began roaring which attracted the attentions of the 4 feasting males. they promptly chased the lioness right out of the area before returning to finish their meal
