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.
Very weird and surreal seeing the jawbone and mane of an animal whose life you've followed for years, who's suddenly just gone. Was a bit of a flashback to the Othawa male, though this was more expected. He was in a lot of pain in the last video of him so at least that's over now. And I'll echo the sentiments of others that I hope the hyenas got him after he passed. Don't like to think about the alternative.
Hopefully now new, completely unrelated males will come into the area, stabilise the Mbiri pride and sire a new generation of cubs. I don't doubt Nzuri will be able to find another coalition partner or two, he's a young, impressive male and as long as he doesn't hang about and try to be the new dominant male of the Mbiris I think he'll be okay.
