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.

Yea thats "pale" Satara male (he is not white).
Thanks for that! Casper and White Birmingham Male are the only two wild white males I am aware of, and this Satara male's mane looks darker at the bottom, as well. "Pale" is certainly fitting though, for sure. He looks like a rough customer.

Sand River young males, sons of the notorious Southern Avocas, with what seems like some females having a faceoff with another "pride of lions".
It looks to me that they are facing two males, of which i believe both to be the Nkhulu males, #4 and #6, but im not anywhere near being sure of it, the two males could even be the Sand Rivers. Would be helpful to have an exact location.
Any opinions?
1/3 New males around Transport dam recently. His other 2 brothers were also around. Think last sighting of these 3 males was over 2 years ago they were 3/4 years old being chased by Phabeni males around Pretoriuskop.

That male looks so much like the 'lost' S. Avoca Male! Seems like there are still 3 of them in the coalition! The maneless one might be just starting to develop a small mane from the looks of it.

Are these 3 males ones who where been mistaken for young Othawas couple years ago? There was 1 black maned and 2 blondish males, if you remember.

Phabeni male seen recently. He was also seen chasing after another male in another sighting recently. He could be the last of his brothers.
