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’m wondering if he’s just a weak hunter and that he struggles for food because of it? Old southern avoca is now a pro at hunting pigs. Is there less food available to hunt? More difficult areas to hunt? He used to be strong and fast enough to take down a Buffalo but more nuanced hunting and stalking seems to have been a life long challenge.

I hate seeing him like this, but it is not the first time. I was hopeful that he might begin to recover some, when he was able to hang with the Manghenis, as it is obvious with that leg he is just not going to be able to feed himself properly.

His old hip injury has compromised his ability to hunt as effective as before. He had been improving when he was with the Manghenis because he was getting steady meals. But now he is to scavenge what he can

I am saying this for a while, he has that "hip/black dot" disease as many other males, but some people dont want accept that for some reason.

He was seen taking full grown buffalo on his own, when he was still healthy, now he is scaveging.
