Bukima, a female in Beetsme's group, left her natal group and transferred to the lone silverback Inshuti, who had left Shinda's group at the beginning of last year.

The newly formed couple stayed together for more than two weeks and our new “lone silverback patrol” was able to follow them for a week.
