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.

Document the different cougars, their names, and history here.

TORRES DEL PAINE, CHILE

One of the guarantees of being in this special place is to be able to see, recognize and document some specimens. This image is of a male that we recognize as Kadü, a large growing cat.

When I meet these beings it is as if it were my first time, my heart races and my soul fills with a thousand emotions is something difficult to explain but the people who dedicate themselves to this will understand me. Especially when it comes to a bug like this TREMENDOUS SPECIMEN I think it is one of the largest that I have seen until now, about 80 kilos of pure perfection.

Figured I'd start a thread for these boys now that they've acquired some territory!

Born in 2016 to the Nharu pride, these three youngsters made their way into Sabi Sands where they settled in the Western Sector. After some back and forth with Hairy Belly Matimba, these young males took control of the Othawa Pride at the end of 2020.

  Monolophosaurus jiangi
Posted by: DinoFan83 - 02-28-2021, 12:03 AM - Forum: Dinosaurs - Replies (2)
Monolophosaurus (meaning "single-crested lizard" in reference to the holotype possessing a single crest on its skull) is a genus of tetanuran theropod dinosaur, possibly an allosauroid or a megalosauroid, from the Middle Jurassic Shishugou Formation in what is now Xinjiang, China. The holotype (IVPP 84019) was discovered in the Junggar Basin, in layers of the Wucaiwan Formation dating from the Oxfordian about 160 million years ago. It represents an adult or subadult individual, preserving everything except for the arms, legs, and most of the tail.
The animal's primary feature is a large single midline crest on its skull that extends from the premaxilla to the eye sockets, which was composed entirely of bone, highly pneumatic and very thin-walled. These traits of the crest suggest its use was not related to intraspecific or interspecific combat (where it might get bitten off or easily break with an action like a headbutt) but instead for a more non-violent purpose, such as species recognition or display.
Because of the completeness of the holotype specimen, body size estimates can be made with a relatively high degree of confidence, despite the total length being unclear due to much of the tail being unpreserved. In 2016, Gregory S. Paul gave an estimate of 5.5 meters and 475 kg.
At 80 centimeters in length, the skull was large for the animal's size, and was full of sharp, serrated teeth. The precaudal column was strongly built, making Monolophosaurus a relatively robust theropod. In the pelvis, the pubes and ischia contacted each other with a nearly vaulted closed underside.
Its phylogenetic position has varied, with different studies suggesting allosauroid affinities, megalosauroid affinities, or affinities as a tetanuran more basal than both.

Sustainable tourism is a type of tourism aimed at the maximum minimization of the negative impact of tourism on the natural environment and local culture, while helping to generate employment opportunities for local residents. Environmental consulting is often a form of compliance consultancy, where the consultant ensures that the client maintains an appropriate measure of compliance with environmental regulations. With the increase in the number of construction, agriculture and scientific firms, industries employ environmental consultancy companies. This industry can expect growth with growing public concern about environmental degradation and climate change.

  Dryptosaurus aquilunguis
Posted by: DinoFan83 - 02-23-2021, 09:20 PM - Forum: Dinosaurs - Replies (1)
Dryptosaurus is a genus of tyrannosauroid that lived approximately 67 million years ago during the latter part of the Cretaceous period in what is now New Jersey. Although largely unknown now outside of academic circles, a famous painting of the genus by Charles R. Knight made it one of the more widely known dinosaurs of its time, in spite of its poor fossil record. First described by Edward Drinker Cope in 1866 and later renamed by Othniel C. Marsh in 1877, Dryptosaurus is among the first theropod dinosaurs known to science. 
Dryptosaurus is estimated to have been 6.4 metres long and to have weighed 750 kg, although this is based on partial remains of one individual. Like its relative Eotyrannus, Dryptosaurus seems to have had relatively long arms when compared with more derived tyrannosauroids such as Tyrannosaurus. Its hands, which are also relatively large were believed to have had three fingers. Brusatte et al. (2011), however, observed an overall similarity in the shape of the available phalanges of Dryptosaurus with those of derived tyrannosaurids and noted that Dryptosaurus may have had only two functional digits. Each of its fingers were tipped by an eight-inch, talon-like claw. Its forelimb morphology suggests that forelimb reduction in tyrannosauroids may not have proceeded in a uniform fashion. On the whole, the animal had more primitive features compared to species like Tyrannosaurus known from Laramidia, which suggests Appalachia's relative isolation allowed earlier forms of non-megaraptoran tyrannosauroids to make it to the end of the Cretaceous period.
Although undoubtedly a predator, the paucity of known Cretaceous East Coast dinosaurs make ascertaining the specific diet of Dryptosaurus difficult. Hadrosaurids are known from the same time and place as Dryptosaurus, the island continent of Appalachia, and they may have been a prominent part of its diet. Nodosaurs were also present, although less likely to be hunted due to their armor plating. When hunting, both the skull and hands were important for the capture and processing of prey.

Tiger Safari at Pench National Park


Every park is divided into 3 kinds of zones: Core, Buffer and Reserved. Core zone is the protected area of the jungle. It acts as a referral point on the natural state of the ecosystems represented by the biosphere reserves. Wildlife and natural resources are strictly protected by the forest department. Buffer zone is where animals and a percentage of human life co-exist peacefully. Lastly, reserved forest acts as a virtual boundary for the forest. That being said, animals don’t know what a “zone” is. They roam around freely in the entire forest for it is their home.

Pench  has 3 core zones, Touria, Karmajhiri and Jhamtara (zones in Madhya Pradesh). The other two zones fall in the state of Maharashtra, namely: Khursapar and Sillari. Touria is the most preferred safari zone due to proximity of various resorts and higher number of entry tickets, the other zones like Telia and Rukhad are equally amusing. The zones in Madhya Pradesh are closed for afternoon safari on Wednesday whereas the zones in Maharashtra are closed for safaris on Tuesday.

Tiger safari at Bandhavgarh National Park

Bandhavgarh has 3 core zones for tiger toursTala, Maghdi and Khitauli. Tala is the oldest zone. Bandhavgarh Fort, Badi Gufa, Shesh Shaiya and Chakradhara Hide are a few places that make this zone extremely special. Maghdi and Khitauli lie opposite each other, with excellent Tiger sightings as well. They are referred as Gate no.2 and Gate no.3 respectively. With excessive tourist foot fall in Tala, Maghdi and Khitauli act as a breather, with a completely different perspective of Bandhavgarh. Tala provides great landscape and picturesque views, while Maghdi and Khitauli give you true jungle chills. The buffer zones are Dhamokar, Johila and Panpatha.
