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.

''Do you remember the story of the sisters Isa and Fera, who were reintroduced to the Cayman Ecological Refuge in 2016? The monitoring of the sisters after their release was very intense, and we knew they were doing very well, as they established territories, hunted their own prey and mated with some males. The fruits of the copulations arrived in the year 2018, when Isa and Fera met the motherhood for the first time. Isa had only one cub, Aurora, while Fera had a couple, Ferinha and Céu. All grew up strong and healthy, soon becoming independent.
Recently our team verified through sightings and images captured by the photographic traps that the cubs are sexually mature and they are already copulating in the forests of Caiman. Ferinha has already copulated with two males Victory and Magrão while Aurora has copulated with a large male Tupã.
See below images captured by our photographic traps of Ferinha with Victory and with Magrão:''

''Who would've expected? Isa and Fera, two sisters who became orphans at such a young age and who would probably spend their lives in captivity, today exhibit great territory, take care of their young and soon will also be grandparents.''
