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.

Yupp.
All six BDMs were sired by lone giraffe male ( b. 2010- d.2020). He was younger brother of Brutus & gang.

Never forget that the old Ross, fathers avoca old Giraffe and old Avocas also sired Rockfig so BDM’s, Xikukutsus, N. and S. Avocas, RRM, Osindile, Birmingham Breakaways, and 5 Nsemani young males (not sure on exact number) are all related. Old Ross are a candidate for strongest bloodline in Kruger

So actually first cousins then. Thank you (both) I was just going to ask if they are related to previous Sabi Sands coalitions that came fron the north as well. Was their father thatsignificantly large specimen of was that some other "Black Dam male" male? I am lost when it comes to further parts of Timbavati individuals and past generations upon that.

Bit of a shame if they end up taking one of the few Sabi Sands prides known to be actually related to them.
Edit: Nevermind if they are related to Birminghams as well, then they are actually related to virtually anybody.

Assuming the current Ross males are related to him does that mean, these two could potentially carry the recessive leucistic gene then (longshot ofc)?

Well, xikukutsus may related to 3 N.Avocas and 2 S Avoca from mother side.
Most probably they were sired by Ross males.
Also RRM is related to 2016 onwards Birmingham generation from their mother side ( sired by skorro thanda impi).

The current Ross males were sired by two males ( Tyson and Fabio) . Current Ross males are named after their father's name.
Old Ross males are not their father

The "Black Dam Male" ( b.2010-d.2020) fathered The limping monwana male and young giraffe male.
( Both are coalition partners and half brothers)

Current Ross males are not sired by the same Old Ross males as Avoca/Giraffes.

One of the Nkuhlus


I think with the large amount of sightings of these guys, they should deserve their own thread. But since  they are not dominant yet, my idea is to create a Mantimahke males sons thread where we will post PCM and Nkuhlus sightings
