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.
Leeubron male
Through the thicket, the Leeubron male's eyes pierce through emerald leaves - now holding a weariness, effected by his recent encounter with the Vlaks. A wound upon his forehead, made deeper by the weight of leadership, attests to their ferocity. As was provoked when I captured his gaze, let us all be reminded that this eden - we all so dearly love - is both sanctuary and battleground.

Vlak males also known as the Mayambula males. Sons of the Mbiri males. I asked to photographer if it’s a recent shot
If this injury is old and it's confirmed to be against Mayambulas, then it's way more likely that Nkhulus might have been the ones to kill the S.Avoca, not the Leeubrons.
This head injury was the evidence used at the time to claim Leeubrons were the ones to fight the S.Avocas over the Hamilton pride.
