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.

That could give that young male more confidence to approach and sense of security not unlike the vultures sometimes get close to carcasses, knowing whatever carnivore i on the kill won't get them if he has finally enough to even bother. Whatver intercation the two had beyond that is another thing. But claiming known injury crippling one's explosive first step is not taken into account wouldbe foolish.
True, but its questionable if the young male noticed that.. I think its kinda desperate move by young male (same as Mhangeni Big Boy approached Blondie on carcass), he is taking a risk with hope that submissive behavior would be enough for big make to tolerate him, and when DM sees that this youngster is no threat to him, he let him feed.
