RE: Nkuhlu males - Ttimemarti - 11-23-2024
Basically whatever happened to them to make literally 70% of the coalition sick halted anything they could’ve done and now they’ve lost dreadlocks and #4 lucky they still have #6 at his age but once all 5 get healthy I fear for what will happen plus I believe one of the youngest msuthu cubs got killed by the southern pride this morning I guess one of the litter of 4

Would honestly be amazing if they resurfaced from there having a territory of their own or whatever, but as said multiple times and sorry for being so repetitive about it, my hopes get lower by each passing day even thought they still exist.

All males often with full bellies even thought some of them (#3 ) still have their typical skinny hindquarters. On the other hand, #5 who was one of the skinniest has turned out to be one of the bulkiest and healthiest nowadays, recovering his mane and improving his physical condition alot, surely is the son of Characol Mane!
