Were there 3 subadult males in that group? I thought, for some reason there were the two, including the white male, and that BYM was with them as well. Is the 3rd male he is referring to as missing BYM? I wouldn't consider him a sub adult any longer, but that will be very concerning if that is who he is referring to as missing, and speculating he might be dead, especially given his history.
Yeah 3, there should be 1 white subadult, 2 tawny sub-adults and then BYM that make up the boys - the other tawny male and BYM are both missing in this clip
I am not sure why, but in my head I had that group consisting of 4 females, 3 brown and one white (one of whom was BYM's sister and one was White Dot), then the three males, one of whom was BYM. Regardless, it seems after the time they had pushing BYM out, in which Fabio really didn't take part in initially, but they have now jointly started making sure they are driven out, and starting at an even younger age. The females are currently helping to feed them, but at some point they need to return to the pride.
Hopefully the three of them, if the one brown sub is still with us, will make a coalition with BYM, his size would be really useful, and there is always strength in numbers. I would rather see him start out as a member of a group, than alone as he was when he bumped into the Mbiris. BYM and the white male seem really close, have for a really long time, and in my opinion the white male seems more of a leader than BYM does currently. All of the bashings BYM took from the Ross males seem to have injured his confidence I do believe, as they would to most any young male. There is always that one male who stands out, who refuses to be broken, like the video of the Crater males pushing out a young male recently, and that young male gave as good as he got, including charging those males when he had enough. He left after a bashing, but he had his head held high when he did.
