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.

Even if we assume 10-20 kg of bait that won't be assimilated to maintain his frame, he's probably going to hit the 240 kg mark in a few years comfortably. Might be another one for the modern record books.
