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.

They are 2 brothers, born around 2012/13? or even older, sired by Sand River males (if they are older than Old Sand River males).
Them in 2016, they had pretty bad mange in those years:

Back scared male near Nkuhlu in early 2018 :
I always taught that this male known as "nomadic" Renosterkoppies male is their brother, but he isnt:

I find out that there was a lot of splitting in Renosterkoppies pride at that time, and theres prob Renosterkoppies breakeaway pride, so these guys are prob not born in the same pride or if they are than this male is younger than them.
Also there are now new generations of Renosterkoppies males, sired by Mpondos, 1 male is older around 5 yrs old, and 3 are younger around 3-4, so theres a lot of Renosterkoppies males around.
But i havent find anything about these 2 older brothers since that video in 2018, they had territory in between Mpondos and Mantimahles, so they are either ousted from that area or are killed, i will try to find more info where they are today..
