Yes, I agree with some here, I'm not sure 1 years makes that big of a difference. HB is an all time legend, and I believe that is something we can all get on board with.

Absolutely everyone knows that the Matimbas were sired by the old Skybeds, and if you analyse the whisker markings of the last photos I posted on the Skybed Coalition page from 2008 you will see that one of the cubs is Hairy Belly. Furthermore, it is widely accepted, and the documentation confirms that the young Skybeds were born in 2008. As they say, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.

I don't believe anyone is displaying ignorance here, simply a difference in opinion.
