Backside ID- Filou?

  • lauraklynn by lauraklynn moderator

    So I know we may not be able to make a positive ID with this, but I notice these two have similar backsides and I'm wondering if they are both Filou. Note the hairless, bald patch on the left scapula and faint balding area in the middle of the back:

    In ACP000ezv2, he is with Desta and Azize:

    And here it looks like it might be the same individual in ACP000fc24

    We also get a quick view of one of the juvenile's faces in ACP000fc20 :

    I know he doesn't have a grey back in the second series, but the lighting is different.

    yes, I think we don't see it the gray because the video is very dark... could be. But it is difficult to be sure. The scene fits completely with Filou. Let me check if we have more videos from that serie. Thanks!

    So, we have these videos

    ACP000fc1y
    ACP000fc20
    ACP000fc22
    ACP000fc24

    And in my notes I have also written "Filou?"

    Hm, I actually have in my notes "adult female?" as this individual looks more bony with smaller shoulders and leaner legs to me than a big male like Filou. But it is hard to say with this perspective and only these videos. I tried to catch a look at the ears (Filou's would be damaged), but cannot see enough. There are two juveniles around, so that would speak for the Filou connection, too.

    There are two other videos from this series already tagged: ACP000fc1d and ACP000fc1e. In ACP000fc1d you see an ear damage clearly.

    thanks for the new videos AnLand. I think those are the "Popeye arms" from Filou, and I this is his cut in the right ear. See here for comparison 😉

    I think yes, it's Filou and also Marlyn in ACP000fc20. Tobe a bit more sure I brightend the photo:
    Bald patches, popeye arms and the face of the juveniles looks much like Marlyn as well as his behaviour towards an adult male.
