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.

A beautiful male with a distinctive “V” shape on his forehead, the Tugwaan male was dominant for many years over a huge territory that stretched from beyond the Sand River in the east almost to the western boundary of the Sabi Sand.

Born to the Short-tailed female in Marthly in 2001 in the same litter as the Ximpalapala female, he began moving south and east, establishing himself during the latter part of 2004 in the eastern sections of Londolozi.

From there his territorial shift was southwards, possibly due to pressure from the bigger Camp Pan male.

The Tugwaan male in his prime held territory centred along the Tugwaan riverbed, which is where he got his name, but he was encountered as north of the Maxabene and even beyond Londolozi’s southern borders.

In later life he suffered from the knock-on effect of an influx of males from the north. The Marthly male pushed south, which in turn forced the Camp Pan male south, which led the the Tugwaan male being displaced to the south and east of Londolozi and rarely seen.

At the time of writing the Tugwaan male is 15 years old and in the twilight of his life. Although it is difficult to assign paternity to cubs, as females will mate with multiple males, it is almost certain that the Tugwaan male sired the Ndzanzeni female, and has done his part to incorporate his genes in the royal lineage of Londolozi.

Territory:
Males typically have a much larger territory than females but the Tugwaan male had a particularly large one that stretched almost the width of the Sabi Sands, incorporating many habitat types. With the movement of other dominant males in his later years, his territory was shifted to south-east Dudley and south of that towards the Sabie River, still prime habitat for leopard.
