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.

Quote:Really? Charleston Males are sons of Freddy? and eventually they killed him?
No, the Charleston males are sons of the Toulon males. But the takeover by the two Kruger males must have happened at that time, when they were very young cubs or weren't even born. The Kruger males accepted them as their own and raised them.

Interestingly, a similar situation may play now, considering that they are raising the Fourways males cubs.

But the whole point here is that blood relations matter little when they are all grown up.

Good videos.

Remember that they are 9 strong still, they just are separated in two areas. The six in one side and the other 3 in a different territory.

could you give some info about they geographic of their territories?
i think they came close to each other (the 6 with the 3) recently in a reservoir to drink water and they were still brotherly to each other, there are some photos.

who is closer to the Nothern Matimbas?


great videos @Skybed, thank you

@Majingilane @LionKiss

u r welcome I'm glad you guys like the videos :)

Btw I believe the coalition of three resides in the Timbavati Pinic area but I'm not certain abt the coalition of six. Perhaps @Majingilane may have a clue on their territorial boundaries.

I have noticed that recent videos of the coalition of six only includes four members so I am eager to find out what happened to the other two.

I heard that Timbavati is open to trophy hunting. I just hope that the other two didn't fall victim to those murderous acts.

Btw I love to see the photos of the recent meet up between the brothers. @LionKiss it would be great if u can manage to find them and post it for all to see thks!

This male is the youngest of the coalition?

I don't know if this boy is the youngest, but all of the 9 Skybed males were born in late 2007 and mid 2008.
