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.

They were born in early 2013. They're turning into 8 years old soon.
In my personal opinion, The pigmentation of the nose not always depends on the age of the individual. The smaller Mbiri male had completely black-nosed at the age of 5/6.

Indeed. There you can see them next to each others even better.






Also mane of the one who used to be called smaller maned Avoca nicelly filed up and got darker. I do not think Southern Avocas are of same age. There have to be some good few months difference in age between them .
