He’s also losing Mass.   he looks quite smaller then when he was in his prime as the alpha Tumbela.   Hope he decided to seek out new partnerships elsewhere Reply

Skorro.   Still around the ximunghwe 


The rotational visits continue.  


EDIT:   While it was posted today, it doesn’t seem to be current…..may be throwback to weeks ago.

PCM are with Ximhungwes so it's probably not recent unless PCM finally left, still would he join Ximhungwes so quickly? PCM were with them like yesterday. Reply

I think it’s from early March.   I looked through Roger’s album but couldn’t pin point a date Reply

It has been a long time since this guy was last sighted. Last time I heard of him was someone telling me they read on FB that Skorro Jr was seen by a ranger being chased by PCM weeks ago, so not even a reliable information necessarily.

If he's ok I think he very likely isn't in the Western Sector anymore since literally everybody else get sighted regurlarly. Reply

They probably did a bit more than the usual chasing away from the pride this time. 


Thats not to say that Skorro died or anything. But something has to have happened for him to suddenly leave western sector like that after it being his home for years. Reply

Its prob because PC males now spend much more time with Ximhungwes.

Why Tumbela stayed here after he got ousted were mainly Ximhungwes. Reply

True, but its not the first time that pride has been off limits for him for longer periods of time. Reply

@Duco Ndona He has been caught by them before and still didn't leave. I believe reason was indeed that PCM spent 2+ months with Ximhungwes. Reply
