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.

Can we stop overreacting every time when random nomads show up in/near PCMs territory ??
No one did anything, as these 2 will prob not aswell, ecspecially considering their age, they are just looking for food, not for territory takeover.
There is some truth to this notion of an overreaction - barely anyone said anything about the Ndzhenga males flushing the Southern Avoca out when he was seen with the K6 lioness, and neither did anyone say anything when both the Kruger Male and the Southern Avoca were spotted in Londolozi.
But also, the PCMs have lost at least 2 Mangheni cubs to a territorial conflict between prides in the last few months, so there's some merit to that concern. (Worth noting that it was probably the Kambulas that killed their cubs, rather than Tumbela, in this apparent altercation).
