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.

Yeah it seems Mapoza has a good bond with his sons, reminds me of the situation with Mohawk and a similar scenario may end up playing out. Did it mention if the young Birmingham male was present at the time as he and the Avoca boy have been hanging together recently.

Good to hear that Mapoza is spending a lot of time with his sons, he will eventually lose the pride and can lean on that strong bond to occupy somewhere else with his sons.

Hope Avoca got away without serious injuries from his father and cousins.

How many Monwana young males? Looks like 5 or 6 on the video if im not mistaken.

When are these guys born in 2020 exactly? They look good.

I believe they were born in 2020, heard there’s 3 older brothers and 2 younger ones. 

Didn’t look like a serious beating, they just slapped him around a bit and allowed him to run off.

Think the BB and Avoca male split just as quick as they joined together, atleast for now. The BB was following a buffalo herd that 3 BDMs were also said to be following just the other day.

Those young Monwanas look big, powerhouses in the making.

Scar Mbiri with some Birmingham females and cubs, he is in great conditions. Guide gets a bit too excited saying "watch the size of this one, the size of a car."

But he is also similar to Tyson Ross male, so who knows.


My 1st thought was he resemble Tyson but thats before I read Avoca-Giraffe males were still domonant at that time.

As per a guide (I think) Renion Mercedo (I probably butchered the spelling of his name) Torchwood was close by YBM so both are alive, well, and still together.
