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.

I have just contacted someone with a connection to Kruger and as far as he knows that both of two Plains Camp males are fine. Now I am going to ask a ranger that I know from Savannah just to make sure.

Apparently this speculation came about because one was seen alone and they are deducing that it happened, hopefully it's just speculation.

I hope it's not true. It would be nice to see the Plains Camp males reach their prime and see their true potential as a coalition.

Both were apparently seen yesterday at Singita by a visitor so unless it happened yesterday, they should both be alright for now.

I dont think these kind of rumors from social media should be taken serious unless they post actual valid source of it. 

I mean, anyone can say something like that, so we need the source.

I remember rumor in 2020 that Hairy Belly is dead from random guy on Facebook without any context.

From a tourist's clip (link), the two Plains Camp males were spotted at Singita yesterday.
In the 1st video it's two boys resting together although you can't see the one behind clearly. Enough to clear up the rumours.
Before this sighting, a few days ago they were seen at Simbambili (Avocas' territory).

This is the youngest Torchwood lioness, daughter of Nhenha.

Only Nhenha mated with the torchwoods?

Nhenha used to spend a lot of time with the Torchwood pride. This lioness and the Torchwood young male, are the one who most resemblances to Nhenha. Which lead to me think that she's most likely Nhenha daughter. But of course, the other BBoys also have mated with the females, I guess.
