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.

Yes, he was seen more and more alone lately, we'll see his next move. It will be very tough for him as a lone male, he needs to go find partners, either in Kruger or in SS, unfortunately theres not many young males in SS atm, Styx male is younger and will still be with a pride for some time, and theres no news on Nkuhuma young male for almost 2 months now..

Lets not get ahead of ourselfs here. 

1. All dominant males roar on daily bases, you can find videos of Avocas roaring from every week, or month in the past, nothing new here. 

2. 5 Nharu males where seen in Buffelshoek for 1 day around month and half ago, thats the only sighting of them in Sabi Sands, ever.. 
I wont belive until i see a trusted report/photo of somebody that they are indeed in Sabi Sands, i certaintly wont belive when somebody says "Avocas are roaring, it must be that 5 young males are invading their territory".. 

3. Dark Mane with Talamati pride are photographed regulary in South Manyeleti /Buffelshoek, and not even 1 photo of 5 young males? Hmm

4. 5 Nharu males are nowhere near ready for territory takeover, they are too young, 2 months ago they where chased of a buffalo kill by 1 Red Road male, 3 Avocas would murder them at this stage.

Weird that most of male off spring from BBoys in this cohort are alone. Hopefully, the next generation of their off spring will be luckier.

Well Londolozis blog reports needs to be taken with a grain of salt, in one of their blogs they stated that Othawa male Nguvu is 7 yrs old, lol.
But maybe they indeed count the subadults genders,it would be awesome to see 8 males.
