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.

He’s a half brother to the Avoca/Giraffes. He looks like a clone of Ross Male “The Good”.

If the Rockfig Male was born in 2009... then one of the original Ross Males is his father. I.e. Tyson and Fabio. 
The 3 new "Ross males" took over in late 2010.

The three Ross males took-over the Ross pride in late 2010. But they already were dominant in Timbavati and have fathered to Brutus and his brother in 2009. The Avoca pride is a breakaway of the Giraffe pride. Thus, it match pretty well.

Rockfig male oryginates from Avoca pride, not Ross pride. Old Tyson and Fabio never were even dominant over that pride.

Not sure where to put this, but just found out we got 4 more 7 Male Coalitions and more 6 male Coalitions. Making this for people who didn't know of these Mega Coalitions

7 Male Coalitions:
Babalala / Boyela
Birmingham Breakaway
Satara 
Myamabula

6 Male Coalitions:
Black Dam
Kambula
N'wanetsi

I think we got a few more 5 male coalitions too.

My bad. Yes they never controlled the Avoca Pride. 

Rockfig being born in 2009 into Avoca Pride makes sense for GB&U being his fathers/uncles.
Just gets very confusing when there are two different coalitions called "old Ross males".

100%. Matches up perfectly.  Rockfig being born in mid to late 2009 into Avoca pride matches perfectly with the Good, Bad and Ugly's initial reign. 
Sorry, Just got mixed up with the two different  "Ross males".

It does, indeed, having more than one coalition of "Old Ross males" can definitely be confusing.

I think we need to reffer to 3 Old Ross males as Old Ross/Giraffe males, to be less confusing.
