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.

Maybe they'll go "Souther" than their natal pride in the south
That would be too unrealistic, they’d have to venture through ‘enemy territory’ to get between their two prides, they would also be heading towards their younger brothers, the Golden Boys, so I hope that never happens.
They have also been exploring everywhere, no matter the direction, this topic has partially been covered already in post #358 (page 24).

Ye I’ve seen that too, such a shame. I heard one of his older brothers, 1/5 Khwai males also went through a similar phase while still decently young and ended up passing from it.

That photo took all the hope I had left, sadly I dont think food is the problem
It might be a desease that he has that even vets couldn't help it , if these are the last weeks of months with him I just hope he doesnt suffer
When the time comes and If done by this I'd like to know what he had... It wouldn't help him at all, but would give a little piece of mind just to be sure that it wasnt human fault
At this stage he needs to heal by himself, no tranquilizer will work on him in this state
I find it strange that they would intervene on him if they didnt suspect any unnatural interference
Wishing him well

Gutted, he's gone through so much. Does anyone know if TB is in Botswana? It sure is acting like that, with the constant up and down of his condition, etc...

I agree, I seen that post a few days ago and didn’t think he’d make the night, I’m astonished he’s still here. I’m still leaning more to the side he eventually won’t make it, but I’d love nothing more than to see him get through whatever this is. One thing is for sure, he has already sired some offspring in the Northern Pride and with his 3 brothers very much in control, his legacy should be secured, no matter what happens to him individually.

Thank you for that, now I have even more questions about this. I know that snake bite has been ruled out as well, very strange.

TB was first seen in KNP and is thought to be from cattle to buffalo transmission, which is why it’s surprising that places like Masai Mara don’t have it. For me I think it’s one of two things, either a set of buffalo was transported with cattle and picked it up from that interaction, or it was just an extremely rare case, which over time begin to spread over KNP / Greater KNP, quicker than anyone could have ever imagined.
I seem to think it’s the first scenario as Masai Mara has a lot of cattle feeding on the grass but I’ve never seen the cattle integrated into buffalo herds for example.
