N'waswitshaka males

EO is equally important for Ndhzengas as Amahle, if not more, he proven himself numerous times.
I guess he is not as attractive for photographers as Amahle, but that hardly has anything to do with his success as a territorial male. I mean, every coalition has that "problem", most impressive male has more "attention", but that doesnt mean he is less valuable.

Not long after he settled, his brother appeared in the distance on approach, and we waited for the inevitable brotherly embrace.  *This image is copyright of its original author
