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.
I guess I am theo be responsible for starting the "odds" conversation. What I meant was that Torchwood came along a long way rather quickly and all of a sudden, with him being sole brother in his natal pride, tagging along parts of it, fragemented due to Kruger males takeover and seemingly could not run into a potantial colition buddy for ages, so that him suddenly appearing in Timbavati and getting along BYM was a pleasant surprise, as till then he did not improve his situation one bit for so long that we could almost count on him being smewhere close to Sabi Sands/Mala mala - Kruger border alone or temporarily with females of his natal pride. And now he flourished. If we compare him half a year ago and now, he is completely different individual in a completely different situation
BYM is completely different, as his attitude towards takeover in his pride ended up being quite different and the injury, his main and longlasting issue, was kind of selfinflicted. At one point it looked like he will become part of Ross males coalition even, there is a lot of atypical things on his journey. Interesting point was when he sneaked up on the back then 4 Tintswalos on a kill, probably not unlike Torchwood on his initially, and ultimately decided not to approach them and left wihout being noticed. The only thing they share with Torchwood dynamics wise is that he also did not have a brother or more in his litter to stay with unlike for exmaple the Tintswalos, which for sure got it easy. Besides the yonger males including the white one growing up potentially joining him one day which haven't materialized and likely never will.
