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.

He's looking a lot better. Thank you for the update.

Will be interesting to see how K4 reacts to the presence of the SBDM if/when he returns to his brothers.

Probably will not be able to do much about it 
If BDM keeps being around the Kambulas and K4 reacts in an agressive way towards BDM trying to attack and such 
I can see in the heat of them moment the other three "put K4 in his place" as he is the agressor 
I find it hard to happend but Im already suprised enough that 3 males who have mating with two prides, acting somewhat territorial just accept the presence of another adult male who even has already sired cubs with the pride

Was thinking the exact same thing. If what we hear is true, that SBDM actually attacked K4 and drove him from the giraffe, and given K4's penchant to be the more territorial of the 4, it may well get very interesting, mostly in seeing how his brothers react.

Kambula Update (K3, K5, K6): They are looking good with that big belly and the SBDM is not here on this video or sighting.

K4 Update: This news is good for him and hoping he meet with his brothers and take him to a more fresh kill.
melc.in.the.wild •K4 - SLOWLY RECOVERING•
Still at his giraffe carcass this morning but looking much improved. I’m happy to report that his back leg seems to have stopped seeping pus and fluids, and the wound on his face is also looking much improved. Recovery will be slow, but at least he has some meat left and is able to move to water. Wishing you a full recovery, beautiful K4 - we are all rooting for you!

With regards to the so called SBDM attacking K4 it seems like a misinformation and it is said it can be traced to a Facebook post/comment without further proof that it did actually happen, so it seems like it is a false information to somewhat downgrade K4 and to up the reputation of SBDM.

I don't have a facebook account, which most days, for issues such as this, it can be a blessing. It makes a lot more sense, now. Thank you, my friend!

They really had a good go at him. I think he's lucky to be alive.
