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.

Haven't heard much on the Ross males as of late, and while this beautiful boy is closing in on that time (it almost seemed as though he was being driven off at the time BYM was being finally pushed out), but given the length of time BYM was permitted to linger, I'd think this young male might yet have a little time left.
The entire BYM ordeal appeared counter to so much of our understanding on when young males are pushed out, but during those final days of his being in the pride, the Ross males directed some of their aggression not only at BYM, but this young white male along with a few of his younger brothers too. I remember thinking at the time that if they were pushed out, at least they had each other. Ended up with BYM joining Torchwood, and actually getting into a minor skirmish with this white male and his other Birmingham brothers. I don't believe those other brothers are ready to go out on their own yet, so hopefully this young white male will be allowed to linger long enough so that he can at least leave in a group.
One thing about this white male is he is very bold, and he displayed some important leadership qualities during their time away, with BYM, away from the pride, so regardless of when it happens he'll have a lot going for him when it does.

I believe that is the second oldest male. I’ve asked Johan about the oldest who some reported was looking thin and not doing so good. Here’s an older pic but you can see a protrusion in his belly. He’s sadly been losing condition over time. I hope he can get well.

Oh, thanks god they managed to bring her back, 1 of BDM's also escaped near this area recently.
I wonder, how many lions in this bordering area escape and just get killed by people, i dont think they are all lucky to be saved.
I remember when Hukumuri incident happened, they also mentioned that 2 lions escaped around that time also and where shot dead, we still dont know to this day which lions those where.
