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.

Cubs might finally solve the problem or make it worse.
I hope they introduce the cubs to PC males first, as if PC males find them and cubs in company of Tumbela or NK, they might kill the cubs and even females if they try to defend, if they conclude that cubs are not theirs, yet of that male.
Introducing them first to PC males might also showcase Ximhungwes that best for the cubs is to be raised under territorial males, meaning that on next attempt ,they will chase away Tumbela and NK ,and not allow them near cubs.
Eventually, with the cubs, Ximhungwes will need to make a choice, territorial life under PC males, or nomadic.
As i dont think this can work with the cubs, that mothers and cubs can hang with 2, even 3 different males simultaniously, i cant remember any example of this happening. Quite strange situation tbf.
As for who might be the fathers, we need to look who hanged with them around beginning of January. Before it was Birminghams and after Nhenha fight it was PC males. I cant remember that Tumbela hanged with them at that time, so he is prob not the father.
I personally think it was Birmighams, as they hanged and mated with them up until "Nhenha fight", hard to imagen they didnt concieve then, yet with males who mated after Birminghams.
So this cubs might be last Nhenha offspring, what irony would be if thats the case, and PC males accept the cubs, these cubs would see PC males as their fathers, while in fact they killed their real father. Thats a soap material right there.
