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.

There was a video shared here, that showed the younger male "mock" mating with a lioness, while the Xiku Male was laying by, is that the video you are referring to? If so, it was indeed odd behavior, but that, coupled to Stephanie's comments about Sandrigham referring to the BDYM as a Xiku Male, makes me wonder if he has been accepted by the Xiku Male as a coalition partner.

Yes that video and also the young male that may be his new partner, is he son of the giraffe male or xik. Males oldest son? It honestly doesn’t look good that the other xik. Male still alive

We aren't sure whose son he is, but there were some comments that made convincing arguments that he is GM's son.

If the remaining Xikukustu faces pressure once the fences drop, I think he’ll try keep the bigger boys around and maybe even form a coalition.
