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.
Daniel Rosengren:" The grace of two fighting giraffes. It may seem like they move in slow motion, but the force created when they swing their own heads like a club is tremendous. The skull of a giraffe male grows more and more heavy as they age, hence their "club" gets more and more powerful. As they fight, the hairs on top of their horns (ossicones) get worn away. So if you see a giraffe with bald spots on the horns, it is a male.
