I’ve seen the video but think it might have been deleted as it was years old or something, still if I find it anytime soon I’ll link it below here. Anyways, as the tweet says this was the altercation that led to Sekekama and TornNose splitting from their brothers. I’m not one to necessarily say everything ‘happens for a reason.’ but if Sekekama and TornNose really are gone, and seeming as it’s been more than a year since they were last seen, it just seems right how both these brothers left the world together. That right there is the kind of loyalty that very few animals and ppl alike will ever experience and in my opinion, the reason they were so successful.

I was just a lil bored and decided I was going to go back through this thread and I don't think I paid enough attention to the other brothers in this photo. As we know Sekekama and TornNose ended up being great males, both in looks and size but it's clear to me they weren't the most impressive of the coalition. That dark maned male furthest to the right was the dominant male of the coalition and was 'first on the scene' when the 5 Selindas started to takeover. Aside from the obvious abundance of darkness in his mane compared to his other brothers, atleast in the photo, look how thick his mane is compared to them aswell. It's actually kinda crazy how successful we already know Sekekama and TornNose become and that's without knowing what happened to their 3 older brothers. They could easily be the most successful coalition atleast known to me if the other brothers were indeed successful. Reply
