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.

Is it the N Avoca that are the larger of the Avocas, or the S Avocas? I ask because in all of the pictures I see, those N Avocas look like massive beasts, just like these images of DM.

DM Avoca issaid to be really big and the largest of all Avoca males. I do not know who is bigger out of rest - other two Northern Avocas or Southern Avocas.

I have asked to Game Ranger Rob about size of the N.Avoca male (Darkmane) and the Gowrie males. He says that are very similar in size
