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.
''Its not always that Giant Otters are comfortable with our presence. This group, for example, is clearly fleeing from the boat. And this escape behavior can even drive a group away from its territory or cause other more severe consequences such as: affecting reproductive success, increasing the mortality of cubs and even increasing the aggressiveness of the Giant Otters leading to accidents. Therefore, whenever you notice escape behaviors like this stop the boat, back away slowly, avoid sudden movements and sounds which can further aggravate the animals' state of stress. If everyone who circulates in the area takes these same precautions, it is possible that the Otters will start to tolerate our presence better and even allow a longer time of contemplation.''
