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.

These two sweet boys are the two who unfortunately didn’t make it. The young male in the background died immediately after the relocation. After waking up from the sedation his two brothers for some unknown reason ganged up on him and killed him. The young male in the front met his end in March this year when he and his remaining brother tried to take over the territory of the two old males Kwandwe and Monomoholo. They weren’t ready, they didn’t stand the slightest of chance. The surviving male could only flee for his life. This picture was taken 2018 in the Addo Park. Back then they still went by the names Harry and Dick. The third one was called Tom. According to Pete Leyland they were sired by the two males Roy and Nomad. They’re now living at Mountain Zebra NP.

I know a bit about this story. What a tragedy! Have you heard anything about his brother recently, is he okay?
I am worried he's on his own. He tried to help his brother, you know.
