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.
I have to say, I like the current hierachy among them though, I kind of liked Snip Tail before already, for selfish reasions - I am sucker for easily distinguished individuals. I agree the youngest Short maned male has potentially more impressive frame to fill, his head is aleady massive. I by no means expect their pecking order to remain always the same, but it seems quite settled right now. What is it that seemingly so many distinctly mohawked males seem to be assertive/aggressive among their peers? As for the discussion above, I think in his case it is clearly confidence not a physical strenght that is the difference and it might be like that to some extent of a while if the other two are used to being followers. The youngest male might grow up into more impressive specimen and might become more of a factor when his younger age won't be a factor. But anything can happen anytime that coul change the dynamics greatly, which is also part of the draw.
