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.

2/6 Nkhulu brothers, both looking in great condition
Nkhulu #3 (dread on his dark mane) 
Nkhulu #6 (shorter blond mane)

No sightings of Dreadlocks in some time, do we know where he is currently, or the last time anyone saw him with the others?

It's been some time.  There was a post I saw from one of those people that cruise around Kruger and take random pictures of animals maybe 2 months ago, that some people thought was him, but nobody knew.  I think the last official sighting he was with the Nkhulu that has always looked on death's door near S83, but that was at least 2 months ago in February.

Honestly it's been so long I'm not even sure anymore. Theres this brief video uploaded April 8th i posted in last page which could possibly be him, but its impossible to be sure as its too far. 
I still have hopes for him to show up with his coalition partners once more, even thought that seems highly unlikely
Only time can tell so what remains for us is to wait

Has it been confirmed that it was the Nkhulu males they chased?  I am holding out hope for Mohawk's boys to show up down here somewhere.
