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.

That you have said make much sense Tummy. As you can tell under the foots of the Styx male, He has some injuries and blood through his belly. If he died by being gored by a buffalo or Antelope, Then he had the most tough death. Without a any doubt!

I think the stomach starts to fill up with gas when a body decomposes. Maybe that’s why he looked “full”?

Recent sighting of the injured Shishangeni male. He's doing his best for recover and keep the tracks of his pride and brothers. Sadly, his injured back right hip don't help him in much as should do.
