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.

Mandevu has a gash on his face on this video and it does seems they are really forming a coalition as even the Mbiri Orpen Male is scent marking in front of Mandevu.
Amazing to see young male acting territorial when he is not even 4 yrs old, rare to see.
I guess having Mandevu by his side helps, but he already showed signs of this months before when Ncile and Mandevu where in Kruger.
He is also so similar to his dad Jr. when he was 4 yrs old in 2016 :

My only worry is if they face some experience duo, like Mongawanes, who are pushing from the north, that inexperience of young male will show, and it might be problem for him or Mandevu.

Mongawanes are enormous, and have been together for quite some time now, so they certainly have the experience edge. I am one of those who believe it was they who likely brought about Ncile's demise, too. Strange how that works out, I remember BYM sneaking through the brush, and watching those Mbiri young males on a kill, during one of his early walk-abouts, just a couple of weeks before he met TYM. I doubt the Mbiris would have done anything to him, being nomads themselves, at the time, but BYM played it safe, and stayed in the shadows.

Tintswalos didnt had best luck over the years, coalition of big "what if".
