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.

To give context as to the age of Mohawk, Blondie and DarkMane, I am posting some photos a friend used to determine that in her estimate, they’re all littermates.    There were no other litters w males that age.    The S Avocas are about 6-8 months older.


Dark Mane and Mohawk with Blondie in the back with no mane .

DM is most identifiable and no question there.    But to prove Mohawk, look at the left canine.   It is crooked.    Photo comparisons to prove.    Blondie had perfect teeth.  

Since there’s a big difference in mane development at this would think Blondie is younger,,,,but he was simply a late bloomer.

Over the times, this photo had always been labeled as DM and Blondie up front because most would think that Mohawk was the last to get his mane (hence his name). But this shows who is who.
