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.

Skorro might eventually find a buddy and they get a new name, making thing even trickier thread title wise :) He is after all in an area with realatively lot of solo males, although they are all (besides Dark Mane Avoca I guess) currently dominant and thus unlikely to be receptive to an idea of joining forces.
As you just outlined, it sounds as though we may have a great beginning for a Thanda Impi Male Lineage thread, and enough current males to keep it active. If you have enough historical information to get one started, we'll gladly do so.
I don't think I have but WildFact collectively most likely does. For sure I hope there would be enough continuation in the newest generation to post about since since the original Thanda Impi duo (and their respective fallen brothers) it is a story of underdogs striving to succeed against odds with mixed results being repeated in every generation (which could be said it is a theme for wildlife to some extent) with subsequent generations not being dealt great hands either (I guess Tintswalos had it easy becoming pride males at least). Current adult generation might turn to be the last though, Skorro Jr. is back to square one and lone male now with his only son having bleak future to make it to adulthood, Tintswalo's Mbiri cubs could be hindered by inbreeding and just Red Road's Nharu cubs might have something going but still the pride is protected by a lone male and it seems like southern half of Manyeleti close to human settlement has ongoing poaching activity.
Since the Prides and Lineage threads are an experiment of sorts, albeit a seemingly successful one at this juncture, we can try out another one for the Thanda Impi. There certainly appears enough of an ongoing bloodline for it.
Do we know for certain the Othawa male cub is Skorro Jr's? I only ask as if I am not mistaken, back in the beginning, Scar was doing a lot of the mating?
