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.

"Hairy Belly" Matimba.
A good gauge of a male lion’s age is the darkness of his mane. The darker the mane, the older the lion.

Matimba male lion "Hairy Belly" with the Othawa pride. 

"On a warm and sunny morning we found the fresh tracks of a Lion Pride moving into our concession, we started tracking them and it was not long after that, we found them at a waterhole, relaxing, playing around and having a drink.

This is the Othawa Pride with the big Matimba Male known as Hairy Belly. Still going at the age of about 14 years if I am not mistaken..."
