Urinanib looks like a male in his prime ^Q^ Are there other males in his range? (He looks very relaxed and confident on his patrol lol )

Ja... but let's face it - not much happened after that. Yet, we were still luckier than a lot of our fellow travellers :yes:

Good point… Urinanib actually seems to have chased off the former resident in that area. Dakotha - also a big male. But he's seen further south these days.

Something like wide, empty space. Fitting when you consider there is a Nanib Desert in Namibia :-)
