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.

The two remaining sons of the Giraffe Male from the Black Dam pride look to make a name for themselves in Shindzela, located in the Timbavati Game Reserve.

As far as I know, there are 3 Black Dam males that are alive, though two are together as shown on this video.

Only two of the six were successfully identified so far.Although the third one could be that one who was seen in Thornybush. Let's hope rangers could ID him.

Theres no evidence that other Black Dam young males are dead, they could be in Sandringham, or moved somewhere else.

Thank you for the video!! Hopefully, BYM is walking even better because this was from October 17.

Is it confirmed that the BDMs fought BYM?

It isn't 100% confirmed. But it's the most likely scenario. Since all three males were sighted few days later with new injuries

good video on the thakazile/Kudyela pride. Seems the Sark males killed those new cubs (didn't they sire them?)

This is the young male named "Vincent" by the Africam community, named after Vincent Van Gogh and his one ear

In speaking w Charlie from EverSeenSA, he’s spoken w Rangers and the cubs were likely sired by two different Unknown males that were in the area a few months prior.
