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.

If looks could kill!!
Throwback in Ngala Private Game Reserve June 2014!
The untidiest lion we’ve ever seen. This is one of the Phelwane males taking a pause from mating with a Skorro lioness to have a snack of zebra. A bit like the lion equivalent of the morning after the night before.
This is the Imposing Shaka Matimba! Well known in the Manyeleti Game Reserve, What a Piercing Eyes!

It was been a treat to watch Junior and mini Matimbas grown from fluffy cubs to this stage where they are now, soon mini Matimbas will be the size of their mother, i cant believe it will be 2 years soon as they where born..

I have to say that i was not sure that they would make it after Gingers death, but HB doing great job protecting them, and Junior now can contribute in that segment too..
