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.

However, I think I've read or seen in a video that Makhulu mapogo helped West-Street males chasing intruders. Also remember that some of the Mapogos, the older ones, were helping patrolling.
If find the video, I will post it here.
It's definitely a little unusual.
Makhulu definitely wasn't chasing intruders or patrolling for the aging WST male as a subadult. lol. He did help the pride hunt and stuff but wasn't acting as a dominant male or formed a coalition with the WST male. The most young males still in their natal pride will do is what Jr Matimba did against the Bboys or Nguvu when the Southern Avocas first showed up in the Western block. Maybe some defensive posturing or some growling, definitely no physical contact or chasing intruders cuz that would be crazy.
