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.

Looks like there is 5 of them (not 6) and Dreadlocks (atleast on this video). 

3 other brothers are split now for few months (those 3 might be ones who escaped Kruger).

They all look healthy definitely ate something bad

Mohawk is old but still in perfect condition, I think we'll still see him as a dominant male again.

Edit: Plains Camp territory is Nkhuku territory no? Avocas controlled the pride before Nkhukus ousting them. Previously I think they were also seen in Nkhuku territory.

Maybe they'll become an issue for the Nkhulus eventually,.

They should be around the perimeter of Nkhulu territory I believe. Ridge Nose son and Lip Scar were scent marking when they were first spotted in KNP, so with all 5 together I’m guessing the local coalitions will soon get familiar with these boys, that’s if they haven’t already.

@KM600 RN's son will turn 5yo in may.

With his genes, current developing and behavior, I don't doubt he'll start to push for them to become territorial.

Mohawk was dominant for almost half his life, all he needs is someone backing him up for him to try again.

I think Chelas son will actually be the one who starts pushing them to be dominant, whenever the youngsters have been seen roaring, it’s always said Chelas son is the one who starts it off. 3/4 look ready to start pushing territorial status, one of the twins still looks quite small compared to the rest of them but with numbers on their side, it shouldn’t matter as much.

This means they’ve moved further North then because I remember a post in here being sent about one of the Imbali males being spotted in Mala Mala recently.
