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.

Remember, Othawa male is only 5.5 yrs old and he is already dominant for almost 2 yrs, which is crazy..lack of inexperience showed as his first litter was lost and he was having hard time to obtain Mhangeni pride who was acting quite semi nomadic at times (thats prob the reason why they lost those cubs).
But he is coming into prime years now and will prob start acting more dominant and territorial, but keeping low profile as a lone male isnt that bad of a thing, it worked well so far for him..
Its hard to predict future, but if currently those 3 unknown males move on and leave him alone, I think he has a window of 2 yrs to raise his litter, in 2 years he will have trouble to obtain 3 Othawa young males and 6 Kambula young males, those youngsters are on his doorstep and will prob target a lone male like him..
