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.

I dont think he is that old, he's a speculared half-brother of Ubuso and Matshapiris, Id say old LubyeLubye male 13-14 yrs old max. If hes any older  his fathers the Old Nkuhlus would need to have been dominant males for 6+years, i dont think they were dominant for that long

In a follow up, things definitely don't look good for him, unfortunately.

Old Lubyelubye, what a legend, hope he goes in quiet and peace.

Difficult moment, in these moments I am in favor of ending his suffering because it clearly doesn't seem like something he will recover from given the age and severity of the injury. Extending your suffering does not contribute to nature.
it is mentioned in the description that 2 males with fight marks were seen not far from him, in this environment a lot is said about not getting carried away by emotions and it is something that I always take, however, in some cases it is not just emotion, but a sense of adequacy, in cases of this type the most favorable thing would be to euthanize, even avoid the generation of media like this (nothing against the channel, it's just doing its job)

It is a fine line isn't it?  I struggle with this myself.  While I think Humans are FAR too involved in the life cycle of all creatures, but especially those in Africa, and should all fall off a cliff, these are the circumstances I believe we are here for and can offer "humanity."
