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.

Animals and the cultures that worshipped them

I have numerous books filled with stories of the "historical grizzly" before he was somewhat tamed ( comparatively ) after the invention of the breech-load rifle in 1848. Those repeater rifles were not common until the mid to late 1860s. Before those modern weapons and the great grizzly slaughter which coincided with the buffalo ( bison ) slaughter, the grizzly was a far more aggressive animal than those we know today. Also, the pioneers venturing west were forced to create more powerful black powder guns as those used on deer and black bear of the eastern forests were not enough to trust against a grizzly. In today's North America, the inland grizzlies are more aggressive that the giant coastal brown bears.
