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.

Good to see Makhohlolas establish themselves north of Gomondwanes territory, although looks like that Vurhami male is aswell gone like Lubyelubye father.
Mohawk/Stompie looks very good despite his age, he should be around 12+ yrs of age, he was already territorial on H5 when his current partner, cheek scar HP male was not even born.
So that might be a problem soon for HP male, as its unknown how many years his partner still has.
Vurhami s28 was seen on the 2nd August looking really good, barely limping and body looked good, I have a video friend sent me of him walking down road. But in that sighting she saw Hp and stompie elsewhere not with him after.
Tamsyn du toit saw s28 Vurhami 2 days ago also I screenshotted the video he was on s130 limping more in this video though. And she saw the other 2 yesterday the pic of the 2 males in road
The 29 odd km that seperate the H6 from the S90 is a current hive of activity with no less than 14 unique males looking to secure, defend and fight for probably, well in my opinion atleast, what is the most sought after real estate in the central region - Gudzani and its surroundings.
With the main dam being our pre-planned last stop of the day before heading back to camp, just south of it, a @singita_ vehicle was parked courteously to the side as their high standards demand from them, whilst @damindallas pointed out the direction of this beautiful specimen - in the rain - in all his glory...

They call them Sweni males (because they where seen near Sweni) , i personally call them Southern Sweni, to not confuse them with 3 Sweni Pride males, who are further north. These 2 parties are unrelated.
