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.

Young males will move in Kruger, thats how it is, theres very few young males (coalitions even less) that stayed and become dominant in Sabi Sands, in past 10 years, what, only Othawa Male and now Nkuhuma male (we could also argue Fourways and Charlestons, but they also eventually moved into Kruger).
Also 90% of young, nomadic males moves from Sabi Sands towards south, idk if its random but thats how it is. It looks like thats the normal "flow" of male coalitions in this part of western Kruger, to move south : Timbavati -> Manyeleti -> Sabi Sands -> Southern Kruger.
As for young males who moved southwest, towards Phabeni and Pretoriuskop areas (Mhangenis and Talamati, Southern and Selati Talamatis and now recently Othawa males) we actually dont know what happened to them and what their fate was, as far as we know, some of them might be still alive south of Pretoriuskop, area from which we have 0 reports as theres pretty much no roads there.
Yes, that area is known for high poaching and "snare" acitvity, but that doesnt mean all of them had that fate, in the end, majority of young, nomadic males doesnt survive nomadic phase.
