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.

So i still refer to him as the Talamati male. Until an official name is given.
As per the plains camp boys, i hope they give the shorter maned male a name soon. It is strange they only named Makhunga but forgot about his bro.
The guides, especially wild earth guides don’t like picking and choosing names as they get a lot of hate toward themselves and their reserves. Cedric talked about how he was using nicknames and he got a lot of unnecessary hate.
I personally love Khanya the name as it works for his looks and personality and it’s from a native language.
I totally understand wanting to involve the guides.
Shaka would be a cool name for the other PC boy but I get that it’s really common name. Theres Zigzag and Shaka/scar Mbiri too.
Calling him “smaller maned PC” boy is really dumb as that’s not worth who he is as an amazing creature.
