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.

I think they will at least for another year. There aren't any large coalitions in the area and they are pretty well protected with having a fence on three sides.

I thought Sassy was supposed to be denning because there are no sign of suckle marks on her...
No cubs for the Tumbela males yet after they acquired Ottawa territory 5-6 months' ago.

Was thinking the exact same thing. When they first came in and began mingling with the Othawa Pride they had small manes, and were a little skittish, never really even challenging HB. Now their manes are filling in quite well, and you can see their confidence growing. I think they were fortunate to have a pride like this, with an old and feeble dominant male, albeit much beloved by all of us, to start with. The Othawa Pride, with Hairy Belly at the helm, was right for the picking by these young males.
I know I was out of the loop for a bit, but what ever happened to the sub males that were hanging with Hairy Belly when these boys first showed up on the scene? I recall them hanging off with HB quite a bit back in the beginning, and then, if I recall correctly Sassy had even led them off for a time as well. Now that I see she has returned to the pride, what became of those young sub males?
