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.

@Tr1x24 Those 3 males on the pic of 2006 are 2 Golf Course that became more known in southern Sabi Sands and sired the Selatis, along with another Golf Course male in the pic was with them but i believe he vanished(?).

Correction on my deleted post: the pics of supposeddly 3 Golf Course males were taken in 2009 at Lion Sands and were found by @Ahmed Ali , i couldn't find it anywhere and am not 100% sure those are actually 3 different specimens and whats the difference of period when each picture was taken, since its 2 together and another different looking male in a singular picture
1st(?)

2nd(?)

3rd

even thought the first and second look different, their ears look the same so i suspect it could be the same male in different periods of time? Again, can't be sure since only Ahmed had the original source

on the other hand, the Blonde Maned Golf Course looks just fine despite a bit of mane loss. By september of the same year he had already recovered most of his mane but was mauled by other males, fairly bruised. Later was found dead killed by other males, culprits believed to be the Mapogo/Mlowathi, Mr T & Kinky Tail

Yeah, I agree, you can tell by the whisker pattern and a scar below the left eye.
