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.
Looks like since that airstrip incident, Tumbela and PCMs live in peace with each others, Tumbela mostly staying in northern parts of reserve where PCMs rearly venture, guides even hear him vocalizing occasionaly.
I can never forget when the three Tumbelas came into the territory of Hairy Belly and the Othawas. They were skittish from their rough start in Kruger, but persistent, and when the contact between the two groups first started nobody even knew who they were, so much speculation taking place. I was never happier for a bloodless coupe to happen than I was in that instance. Hairy Belly, the legendary old warrior, taking on three unknown males, and never giving an inch. Even was recorded riding on top of a buffalo, helping to feed his pride, in those final days. As we have all seen countless times, such peaceful transitions are very rare, but I was never happier for one than when we all watched HB ride off into the sunset during those times.
