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, both Ross males where seen yesterday together. 

3 younger Birmingham males (they are 2.2 yrs old now) :

Rangers pointed out that 3 younger males are very attached to the older young male, always greeting him when near by and they speculated that coalition of this 4 is quite possible at this stage, theres 2 yrs difference between them, but the older young male was not ousted off the pride and he will prob wait his younger brothers.

Thats now even more likely because it looks like Ross males are spending less and less time with the pride..

As a coalition of four male the future of them look and sound really fantastic.

Them could be a problem for the Ross males

@BA0701 I actually just saw a pic of the Ross male that I thought was missing. Looks like he got scratched up during a hunt:

Rudi Hulshof: Although still unconfirmed, it’s all but accepted that the #giraffemale lion has died. We have not seen him for about 6 months now, and he has also not been seen in the company of the blackdampride of lions here on the reserve at royalmalewane in South Africa. 

Should he make a reappearance and again be seen on our #wildlife photographic safari, I will be sure to correct this assumption of mine, but for now his memory has been immortalized by the thousands of photos, guides and guests alike have taken of him during his life.

Sadly, this is what we were afraid of. My money is on his having been poached after he went to that shady private reserve, which has a criminal past involving poaching. Last time he was seen was when he went over there.

Isn't entire core Black Dam pride out of Malewane as well for months already? It doesn't mean they died. We could make such assumptions if the core pride was viewd without Giraffe male, but does that did happen?

Being honest I would like think that the Giraffe male is alive and well.

I knock on wood for it

I couldn't agree more my friend. Nothing would make me happier than to be completely wrong in this instance. I have been concerned for him since he went over there, after @Tr1x24  found out what he found on that property. That's why I asked about him a few days ago. 

Have the females that went with him been seen since then?

You're wrong my friend.
The first encounter Mbiri vs Nharhu males was in September 2019 and the Nharhu male have pushed out the Mbiri and took-over their territory. words confirmed by Chad Cocking via Direct Message.
