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.

Thought Selatis were younger than 4.5 and looked like that during the encounter. May be, I could be wrong here?

When S.Avocas tried to tracked down a very impressive Matshapiri male (and may be his injured brother as well) for the first time, they weren’t 4.5 I believe. Very likely, they were around the age of the two older KYMs here.

Yes, it isn’t a race. I don’t wish to see these morbid fights, I am glad NK survived. Just curious on how and why some young coalitions turn battle hardened and stubborn so early in their lives while most other young males struggle and don't lose their fear. As we saw recently, the 3 young black rock males around 3.5 caught out one of the huge Salas and tried to finish him off, was a narrow miss. The ones that killed Bob Jr too didn’t even look 4.5.
Not trying to say one scenario is a great outcome and the other is bad. Just interested in the process, on how and why some of these nomadic males evolve and gain confidence quickly.
And the fact is, the two older KYMs and the younger 4 are taking their time.
