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.
Well, the young Othawa may have just ended up with Gingerella randomly after the 4 broke up in an incident. Then he did what seemed obvious, followed the only other sibling left and a food source as well. Once they moved back into western sector, Gingerella might have been more sedentary or at least not looking, while he might have an urge to move on and either wonder off or keep looking for his brothers, once he realized he won't find them back there in natal area. Or possibly he and Gingerella might get separated by chance and likely continued out of western sector anyway. Or he might be lying low possibly licking wounds. As he was more or less fed by Gingerella up to this point, we don't know for sure how good hunter he is, but he can probably feed himself one way or another (enough to survive in any condition), so I would not write him off that quickly. He is just missing. And it may stay like that forever, if he sneaked out into Kruger.
