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.

" The gigantic caiman Purussaurus is known mainly from impressive remains found in parts of Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela and the rest of the Amazon region. Discovered and named by Joao Barbosa Rodrigues, in 1892, the animal soon became known as one of the largest and most powerful freshwater predators ever.

Later, the huge blocky skulls of the beasts were uncovered. From these remains it was estimated that Purussaurus was among the largest crocodilians to have been found and one of the biggest reptiles to exist after the dinosaurs’ extinction. It was 12.5 meters long and weighed 8.4 tons, as long as a bus. But some finer details of the creature’s biology still remained a mystery. For example, it was not known exactly how Purussaurus killed its prey nor was its daily food intake known.
