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.

bobpoolefilms - Gorongosa is home to massive crocodiles. In my upcoming PBS series Gorongosa Park: Rebirth of Paradise, we explore a wild river where crocs congregate by the thousands.

Does anyone have data on bite force of gharial? I suppose it is much lower than other crocodilians because gharials primarily feed on fish. They need not drag their prey from land into the water and into the water from top.

What a monster that croc is? They do not have natural predators in  their ecosystem as sunderban tigers are very small if not smallest of bengal tigers. They must be thriving
