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.

Otherwise DM will just abandon the Talimali leaving them wide open for a takeover.
Those "cubs" are pretty much in years where they dont need protection anymore and they can be independent if they need to (even now only 1 older female, occasionaly 2 with Silver Eyes are seen with them, rest are with Imbali male) DM is with them only because of food source at this point, as older Talamati females are choosing Imbali male for next generation of cubs instead of him.
Its yet to be seen what DM and N. Avocas will do in future as even older Nkuhuma females who are back in estrus are chosing PC males for mating instead of them (i think its not reported that neither of Mohawk and Blondie where seen mating again with older Nkuhuma females).
I think northern Sabi Sands are pretty much open for many possibility for future, will N. Avocas shift their territory and prides or not, 2022 will be interesting year in northern/central Sabi Sands.
