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.

Always sad to see..

Holy "white" Birmingham boys mean business, they just arrived here and already cause havoc.

These kind of "silent" attacks are most dangerous ones for territorial males, as there is no warning or anything..

Gijimas did the same thing to Ndhzengas, only a quick reaction from rest of Ndhzengas saved WN's life, i guess 2 brothers of this boy where not close enough to help him.

Does anyone have pictures of all 3 RP males?? These kings of Umbabat fly under the radar and are fairly unknown.

1 of them fought Skorokoro half a year ago or so.

Indeed, the young Birminghams came in like a tornado, right out of the gate. Their futures have certainly had an eventful beginning. The white male has always come across, to me, as a very strong willed individual. Maybe a year ago, or so, he got smacked up by Tyson, and he didn't back down at all. Such a shame he was too young to leave with BYM, they seemed to have a tight bond until the scuffle with BYM and TYM that pushed the white male away.

They should be born around 2016.

They are sons of Old RP males, Hondo and Xantsema, and halfbrothers to Nharhu males.

This is one of them, getting attacked by Mbiri males when they where still in natal area, then they become nomadic (i think this was mid to late 2019):





There where 5 of them, only 3 survived.

So i was rewatching:





There was 2 RP males, 1 run away.

Fight didnt lasted long, for what we saw, i dont think thats enough time to fataly wound him and he looked fine, unless there was more fighting afterwards, or they cut his artery or something, so he bleeded out.

What is strange that they where seen with same male few days after that.
