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.

They are not exactly subadults, they should be around 4 yrs of age (idk their exact birth dates, but they are born in 2020 thru multiple litters).
Some of those guys looked big as Avoca young male, who is pretty much fully grown and not a small male himself.
New update: Ross males retaked the kill
Ross chased them out? Source?
I'm seeing a video here that shows Ross in perfect condition, you can't even tell they are not in their prime from the video, still, dominant males usually don't have trouble with 4yo nomads, not long ago the Ross were stalemating Young Avoca and Guernsey males who were challenging for territory.
Despite how good they're looking, age must have taken a toll in their confidence.
