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.

If they bump onto Ximhungwe they have absolutely no reason not to kill them especially if PCM are in the north where their roars can't even be heard in the Western Sector.
Same as Tumbela/NK doesnt have crystal ball either to show them that PCMs are not lying in the next bush waiting to kill them.
I am talking about current situation, 1 of PCMs was in western sector just yesterday or so, and until NK/Tumbela are not 100% sure these 2 are not near, they will not do anything.
That might changes in few weeks or months in future, if PCMs stop returning back.
In the past both Tumbela and Nym have mated with the ximungwe ladies so maybe the girls can use their magic flirty powers and convince Tumbela and Nym that the cubs are theirs!
What are the chances the second/older ximungwe will come into estrus?
The 2 used to hang out with Tumbela but once they had the little cubs the ladies avoided Tumbela, I’ve wondered if they have met in the past (with the cubs) but we just didn’t see it.
Someone, not known who, killed Ximungwe's last cubs. Since he had been spending quite a bit of time with her, even mating with her, it is believed that Skorro Jr may have been responsible. Though, in that instance, there was a good chance that he was indeed the father. Both he and the PCMs were in the area around that time, and if memory serves, both had mated with her. So, it is anyone's guess, actually, who killed the cub, but both groups had equal chance to be the father, regardless of who actually was responsible for the death.
