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'd say this male's about 5-6 years old, at most 7, look at his nose, it's still pink.
About the Othawa males, they were about 4 years old when they were expelled of their pride, then now they would be around 10 years old, they would look much more seasoned, and scarred than this male.
It's one of the ways you can use to roughly determine age. Look at his face, how scarred it is, look at his nose, and also around the eyes, as they get older they get a more marked black circle around the eyes.
