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.

Those two seem like another disaster in the making as well, they left the (relative) safety of Singita and now hang out in Sabi Sabi near the Nwaswitshakas

Interesting, Bboys didn't make many move this last years, they were avoiding conflicts, it seem that they have see that they can not just let others lions play their own game...

It looks like scavengers did their job already pretty well. Only his head and a paw remained. Thats going to make figuring out what happened difficult.


I am not too worried about the Styx and Nkuhuma young males. Ultimately for a nomad, every part the light touches... belongs to somebody else.They should know how to navigate around them. 

But yeah. The Mhangeni pride is a golden opportunity for them.

There is now another theory floating around that it may have been Mohawk Avoca. Which apparently was also in the area and allegedly has new scratches.

I don't think we've seen any close pics of Mohawk from the past 3 days

A theory made by people who refuse to believe the Bboys killed him. Londolozi said it was the Birmingham Boys, not that it could be the Birmingham or Avoca which means it's location is probably deep in Birmingham territory. The story also says he was roaring at the Birmingham Boys in the same area they found his body which can only point towards them as the suspects.

There is barely any mane visible at the carcass and as we know Othawa male had huge mane. Base on the look of the corpse I would bet on that be Nkuchuma male, but it is possible that the mane was dragged a bit further away by the scavangers. It is better to just wait for the further updates.

Well. At least it isn't based on any sort of "I cant believe our living legend was killed by just a few grandpas" rhetoric but rather some early detective work. 

Whether that detective work will prove to be accurate remains to be seen. But eventually new photos of the suspects will show up, and if one of them suddenly has several new scars, we have our culprit. 


I think they confirmed it is him based on dental, scars and the shape of his face.

O o thawa macho tinha um canino inferior com uma ponta quebrada, eles podem ter usado isso como prova ...

Acho muito difícil para o Avoca vencer por 1 a 1 contra o Othawa ... 

O mais provável foram os Bboys.

James Tyrrell said that they saw Tinyo, he has no visiable new scars/injuries, he said they didnt see Nhenha, but that he was seen at MalaMala, no i fo of his condition..

Avocas where seen just yesterday at Elephant Plains,also no visiable new scars, but its very unlikely that Avocas did that..

Its very unlikely that big and strong male like OM didn't put any injuries to his attackers..
