"Construction on the Belo Monte Dam complex appears to be progressing swiftly, despite legal challenges and the protests of indigenous tribes whose lands and livelihoods are threatened."

Is this offer open to others? LOL

For you, yup!

You are always welcome over, brah.

Well hopefully that male and female are onto something. Be nice if you could breed them locally, i know of a guy in dallas that is or used to breed them.

There is another group that might start breeding too.

From what I've read, The first sign of activity is the female moving about the entrance of the males cave. The male will guard the entrance at this point. This may carry on for anywhere between an hour or a day.

The female will then be enticed into the cave by the male where she will stay for anywhere up to 4 or 5 days. The male will then block the entrance of the cave.

If you look at the pictures I just posted, the smaller zebra is a female and she moves around the male's cave. The male just sits in front and blocks the entrance. Hopefully, in a few days he will let her in and keep her there to lay eggs.

Autocorrect played me in your favor there. I edited my previous post to reflect what I meant to say

Nice pics, always love the bonus shot. Have they bred for you yet?

Nope, still nothing. But I got a smaller male trying to trap a bigger female in a cave right now. Been going on for two days now so maybe something will come from it.
