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.

Biologist Raphaella Coutinho

''Sometimes it's not pretty. It is the cycle of life. During a morning of monitoring wildlife we were eyewitnesses to life in motion in the dark waters of the Amazon. This Capybara in the photo was swimming distracted with her flock/group along the bank of the Madeira River, when a Black Caiman slaughtered it. This Black Caiman from South American is a top predator on the food chain and can reach 4.5 meters in length and over 300 kg. Probably due to our presence the black caiman gave up on its prey and we recorded the size of the bite which happened in seconds completely tearing off the mammal's entire front leg. We continued on to the field and hope that the black caiman had returned for its lunch.''
