I absolutely agree! These two are not the guys to mess with when it comes to the protection of their territory, they fight to kill, they managed to rule Savuti marsh for more than a decade now.

Even though Sekekama had a very similar situation to the Ross males and BYM, with his son Tsekedi <sp?>. He allowed him to linger for quite some time.

Although I'm not still sure of Sekekama age. Some earlier pics of him indicates that he should be around 13 or even more. Quite remarkable that he is still in amazing condition for such number.
Titans and rulers of the world of Sekekama and the great Torn Nose. They strengthen their bond that was never broken 15 years ago together. They are in very good health and they look so beautiful! These photos were taken last Friday Photo credit: insca
