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.

DM probably has TB same as Blondie had or other health issue. He for years already had problem to pick up proper mass. For those saying he looked good recently just compare how his weigh looked like in comparison to Talamati young males, it wasn't even close even through DM was at least as tall as they are. I think regardless if he will have proper food sources or not in form of Talamatis, or if he would team with Mohawk or not, DM is on downfall. He will probably reunite with Talamati pride soon and will hold on for some time, but on the long run he can not win with TB.

Years? Until start of 2022 when he went nomadic he was in excellent and bulky condition..
But yes, he prob has some health issues lately.
Agreed. DM was in excellent condition this time last year. He didn’t start having weight issues until he went nomadic earlier this year. Hopefully whatever is going on is not TB and is mostly due to lack of a meal. But you never know. When talking about Blondie one of guides on WE said about half the lions in Kruger are infected with TB but only a small percentage will develop an illness from it and die. This is likely due to them dying from something else before the infection can began to take its toll.
Anyway, DM has been here before and bounced back. Looking malnourished and perhaps dealing with illness. Hopefully he’ll be looking much better in a few days.
I meant months, my bad. Anyway He wasn't in proper shape for a long time even through Talamatis pride doesn't seem to have any problems with making regular kills so it is not just like DM doesn't have enough food to gain mass. He clearly have health issues.
