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.

Those Avocas are fathers of the the 2 young males. (Old Avocas were 3 in number joined by 5 Giraffe males, their half-brothers) Of the total 8 males, 3 went to Kruger.. currently 5 of them are in reign
I find it hard to believe that the older avocas fathered the younger, unless they had been dominant males before the age of 4. Since they are both called the avocas, aren't they a previous litter from the avoca pride?
The young Avocas are born in early 2013, older Avocas were born in 2008 I believe.
Yes, they became dominant early.
Giraffe males are little younger, the youngest one in particular is 2 years younger than Other Giraffe males. (4 born in sep 2009, younger one born in Sep2011)
so they never left their natal pride? something doesn't add up here.
