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.

The older males would hog most of the kills, true, but they would also protect the subadults. The experience of 2 street smart older males would ease the nomadic phase of the youngsters greatly, increasing their chances of survival as well. And it would also help the older males later in life, having 3 strong younger males to back you up when you're hitting the early teens would make for an easy retirement probably. I see alot more benefits than losses if they joined up.
