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.

We finally get to see both of them at the same time, their cubbies, and other members of their unknown pride! Like pulling back the veil, slowly, hopefully we will get an insight into who the pride actually is, how many members it has, and how many cubs they now have. Regardless, we are seeing so much more than we had previously, and it is great!

Just look at those manes, and the size of both of them, incredible, all the black in TYM's mane, just fantastic!

"Such an absolute treat seeing 3 of the Birmingham breakaway males on @walkersplainscamp
It’s been 3 and a half years since I’ve seen them @andbeyondngala and they are looking absolutely magnificent. It’ll be very interesting to see if they stick around. Being a coalition of 6 males in total, it could cause some havoc in southern Timbavati.

Back when they first ventured out, there was a distinct difference, it was easy to tell the younger males. Given we have had so few updates on them since, and have not seen all six together since around that time as well, I do not know, any more, if the difference could still be seen.

Older ones would be from Old Avoca/Girrafe; Younger ones from The Ross

Quite the trek for him. We get so few updates from Balule, and Klaserie as well. For some reason, I thought there were fences on the west side of Timbavati.
