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.

Thank you for that! These have been two great kings, who have been very successful so far. I believe one of their biggest strengths is they do not have wandering eyes, what with such a big pride to oversee they have their hands full already, without feeling the need to expand.

I thought she was seen improving after a sighting around Christmas?

My thoughts exactly. I saw a photo of her, photo taken on 27th Dec. Although she looked quite thin, she was walking fine after her incident with the buffalo.

A quick doubt 
Who were the fatfathers of xikukutsu males? ??? 
The old avocas/ giraffe males leave the avocas pride in 2015/16 agafter skirmishes with N. Matimbaa. 
And Ross males also acquired Birmingham pride at the same time only. 
Xikukutsu males were also born in 2015/16.
So i am a bit confconfuse???? 
Also apart in Birmingham pride from BYM and BYF, the eldest member of of MAGNIFICENT SEVEN, who is aa couple of months shy to 5 , is also son of old avocas/ giraffe males. 
And Ross males are father of youngest 3.
But who is the father of middle 3 males????

Hi DARK MANE. Welcome to WildFact.
The Xikukutsu males are believed to be sons of the Ross males. However, the old Avoca/Giraffe males were seen mating in September with the Xikukutsu mother. Which means, they could be son of them as well. Unfortunately, only a DNA could confirm it at the 100%  The Xikukutsu males were born in December 2015 into a litter of 3 cubs. 2 males and 1 female. 
The old Avoca/Giraffe males fathered to the oldest Birmingham young males, the youngest sub-adults are believed to be sons of the Ross males.
