There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

  Rewilding Europe
Posted by: Wolverine - 03-10-2018, 12:28 PM - Forum: Projects, Protected areas & Issues - Replies (49)
Rewilding Europe is a programme aiming to rewild one million hectares of land spread across ten different locations in Europe by 2020. Main species for rewilding are big herbivores - wisent, tarpan-like semi-wild horses and auroch-like primitive cattle.
Previously named the Wild Europe Field Programme, it was initiated in 2011 by four organisations: WWF-Netherlands, ARK Nature, Wild Wonders of Europe and Conservation Capital following the "Conference on Wilderness and Large Natural Habitat Areas" (Wild Europe) conference in Prague in 2009.
€3 million in start-up funding for the programme was raised in a Dutch lottery.

Here is the main portal of Rewilding Europe where you can read all news concerning the programme:

  Drymarchon
Posted by: epaiva - 03-03-2018, 02:42 AM - Forum: Reptiles and Birds - Replies (7)
Drymarchon is a genus of large nonvenomous colubrid snakes, commonly known as indigo snakes, endemic to the Southeastern United States, Central America, and South America. Three to four species are currently recognized.
Indigo snakes are large, robust snakes which can reach a total length (including tail) of over 3 m (9.8 ft). They have smooth dorsal scales, and several color variations, including a glossy blue-black color.
Indigo snakes are diurnal and actively forage for prey. They feed on a broad variety of small animals such as rodents, birds, lizards, frogs, toads, and other snakes, including rattlesnakes. They are not aggressive snakes and will only bite when threatened. Typical threat display includes hissing and shaking of its tail as a warning.

  Allocene Era
Posted by: Polar - 03-03-2018, 02:42 AM - Forum: Debate and Discussion about Wild Animals - Replies (8)
One very big topic coming up lately in terms of wildlife and evolution is the Allocene Era, or the period occurring 5 million years after the end of the Holocene which we live in today. It is still unknown when the future Allocene ends.

It is part of the "speculative evolution" stages of topics, and I really want to know if there are others who are genuinely interested in this sort of topic. Speculative evolution involves discussing what Earth will be like after a certain species (most notably human) dies off; what will the Earth's biomes look like, how will these biomes be distributed, is it an ice age or global warming, what kind of mammal/reptile/any animal will rule the planet from that point on, and etc...Basically, we can assume the end of humanity (with plenty of nature destroyed) and the end of most living animals today, save for sharks, crocodiles, and very small mammals such as rodents (these guys survived long!). Until now, there are many, many drawings, depictions, and texts of what the world and future fauna/flora will look like after we are gone.

Speculative evolution means to look into future tendencies with the data we have now, and of course, if modern humans continue the way they do, the world is going to look quite distraught. Just a fact. But this is way after humanity, when the Earth rebuilds itself (by natural disaster and destruction) into a beautiful Earth once again.

  Leopard interaction with big grass eating animals
Posted by: sanjay - 02-20-2018, 01:06 AM - Forum: Leopard - Replies (2)
I don't know, If any other suitable thread exist for this type of posts. I would like to post the interaction of Leopards with big grass eating animals (herbivores) like Buffalo, Rhino, Elephant, Giraffe and Bison...

I will start with an interesting video I found on YouTube, which I think is very interesting to watch. In this video a probably young leopard comes near to resting nomad cafe buffalo herd, in seems that both were not very much bothered by each other presence. Specially Cafe buffalo for being known as aggressive by nature, didn't react at all, they completely ignore the leopard and allow him to come close that much.
