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.

After the fight he can still walk (in pain, but nevertheless), and if look careful at his wounds can see that these are not really looking lethal. Of course, there is always the risk of infection, but in my opinion the vets only helped him to recover quicker than usual. Last but not least, recently, as we all knows, he and Lipstick chased away another coalition of two large males, so let's forget about the "weakness" of Blackie.
I never said he is a weak male, he's a dominant male.
But I did say that he was done at that time, and I sustain that. There's a reason for the Musketeers leaving him like that, they were sure he was no longer a threat, and also, that's exactly the reason the vets intervened, because they knew that without it, he would have died.
