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.

Sorry to disagree but the Ross males were quite aggressive in their early years expanding their territory and acquiring pride. They were in many fights that could have swung either way. What you are witnessing is a coalition that's older now but this isn't how they were in their younger years.
And right now they are mating with an Mbiri female which isn't going to lead to any successful spreading of genes. They're not moving to the Manyeleti to protect that pride so this is just more of a fling and could even stir up unnecessary drama with other males.
No need to be sorry my friend, we are all welcome to disagree. But, yes, in their earlier years, which is why I mentioned that they have turned out to be, we'll call it a maturing process. I was, however, mistaken, as I thought that was one of the Birmingham lionesses. I don't see them going to Manyeleti either, so I agree with that, this might not a good thing after all. Those Mbiris are spread out all over the place right now, which is unfortunate.
