2 entirely plausible situations for these boys here, nevermind HWC as its always a high possibility,  im not minimizing it but just adding other very likely scenarios that very well could have happened. 


Mrefu and Spikey were filmed on a kill with the 4 Paradise subs. Then, soon after, we saw 6 Pack males chasing both Spikey and Mrefu off the kill.  So both could have been killed or injured by 6 Pack males at that time. 

2 possibilities for Halftail, not including HWC....  

At the early time of his MIA, Kiok and Kibo along with Koshoke were video'd with bad facial injuries in the Marsh. Some speculated fighting for mating rights but it is entirely possible they caught Halftail and killed him..

2nd.... 4 days ago Oloisikut Conservancy mentioned they saw Halftail in their area. No pics, no video, nothing. I have tried to contact them to no avail. Im still waiting to find out.

Fingers crossed Oloisikut was correct and he is alive. Time will tell. 


1 more unrelated thing.... Saruni, 1/4 MNC Boys is likely gone. All 3 other brothers have been videoed rescently. I got a lot of conflicting info lately but the videos of his bros and not of him when he should have been there pretty much confirms it for me. Shame, not sure what happened. He was last filmed in Oct/Nov healing from injuries he sustained from Seenka and bros. Reply
