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.

Actually, a leopard known as the "Shepherd Tree Male" was seen with a giraffe's carcass, which it hoisted up a tree! The giraffe may have been a juvenile, but still much larger than the leopard!
