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.
The NK Male is a survivor for sure. However, I don't think he chooses the healthiest of partners.... an older male way past his prime and now a lame male, albeit closer in age. The Styx Male was his best choice, in my honest opinion, but he died in a freak accident one night. I guess good choices are not falling from the trees in Sabi Sands. Lone males really do have it much harder. They have to find a suitable partner of a similar age and that's hopefully pretty healthy, plus it takes a long time to bond with an unrelated partner.
I always dislike seeing lone males grow up and then leave their natal pride. It's more of an uphill battel for them in all ways. I was so sad when the Talamati Male's bro just disappeared.... Now he's a lone male. The Talamati Breakaway Young Male had 2 bros that were killed, so he's a lone one now.
