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.
Sad end to Limper, he managed to survive more then half a year longer then his brother Scar, looks like both of them had the same or similar disease, most likely TB, altrough, their condition might also be caused by rough nomadic life, and prolonged malnutrition, or maybe genetics.
Here is throwback of Scar and Limper vs Mbiri (now Tintswalo) young males and their brother Lambile in April 2020, before they came to Sabi Sands, from 8:30 min :
We can see even there, how skinny both Scar and Limper where, and that followed them to their end.
Their "lost" brother Lambile also have that problem, altrough still not to that extreme, yet. So there is speculation that might be genetics, or more likely that they together eat some carcass who was infected with TB or something, when they where young, which also might be the cause of "disappearence" of their 2 lost brothers in nomadic life.
Sad story for Nharu/Tumbela males, but thats nature, hope that Skorro Jr can protect this Othawa offspring to adulthood and continue their legacy.
