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.

Nice. 
Also I think just by this one pic we can't identify who these youngsters are.

A great sighting of Dreadlocks and 5\8 Nkuhlu young males offspring of Mantimahle Males seen on the H4-1 recently about 4km from Skukuza. So happy to see Dreadlocks is not alone and that he's with these young males.

I wonder if the DeLaporte males ever had territorial conflict with the S26 males, they were fairly evenly matched although DeLaporte's might not have been as tight a coalition while the 3 unkown partners of the Styx male might have been brother/pride mates which would bond them stronger and that could make a difference with regards to confidence and trusting that your coalition partners will fully have your back.

Prob no, they had conflict with Mpondos.

Delaportes took vacant ex Mpondo territory just south of Skukuza in late 2019, but few months in 2020, 3 Mpondos (Snip Tail, his brother and Orange Eyed male) returned back and push Delaportes out.

Talamati was in bad condition, so 3 other Delaportes didnt stood much of a chance against bigger, more experienced and more coordinated Mpondos. 

Delaportes surrender and become nomads once again, breaking coalition into 2 pieces , Dreadlocks/Talamati (former friends) and HRM/3T .

HRM/3T misteriously disappeared in mid 2020, last seen together near Kruger Gate, while Dreadlock/Talamati made it to 2021, when in early to mid 2021 Talamati prob finally scumbaged to his disease ( i think he was last seen alone in H4-1 going east). In 2022 Dreadlocks joined Nkuhlu subs.

I decided to post here to not pollute the other topic anymore, because Dreadlocks is the last of the coalition that I thought was wise.

I checked the framed video and could see that his wounds were mostly on his legs and one on his stomach being that much more serious, despite the bulk in his spine, he doesn't seem to have many puncture wounds in the area and he still moves around which is essential so it's even encouraging, the reports generally tend to be pessimistic but a little more optimistic about his chances in the review, now he needs to regroup with the others to have a chance.

I hadn't seen his broken leg yet, so he is in this situation next to the lubyelubye male, this explains why in the video he makes small jumps to redirect himself without actually getting up, in other posts the Nkhulu males dispersed so it will be difficult.
