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.

Reports from Manyeleti today say Red Road sustained an injury during a hunt of a Girrafe today.
Early reports seemed serious but he was later found at the Girrafe kill eating reasonably well. Guide does say he lost a few teeth but otherwise looks in great shape.

Vestment says he has no scratches after the encounter with the Kambulas. Red Road is really tuff!
He looks in perfect shape. But its possible to notice his lip is a little similar to bigger Mbiri and the gone Styx/S26 male

As for the cubs, aren't they for sure Tintswalo's? I remember when it was said they were born, Tintswalos weren't off for longer than 3 months.
For me the timeline lines up quite well.
Yes, Orpen, his sister and the middle Male w sister are accounted for, I have not been able to get a sighting of the solo youngest male I call Solo. But maybe he’s become harder to ID and ‘or mistaken for his cousin.
I wouldn’t rule out the cubs being from tintswalos. But it would not make much sense that they would depart so recent to them mating with females. IDK. That’s my thinking. I can’t remember where, but someone suggested Mbiris. I never saw a mating instance so I can’t speak on them.
I think something that helped push the Titnswalos to leave despite mating and having a big pride was because it was their natal pride so some instincts to leave were there.
Once Ncila fully recovered and bonded with his brother again, they being in their prime moved off.
Some say pressure from Mbiris played a role but particularly I don't buy that.
