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.

Many of the early jungle movies and horror films featuring gorilla were based on this ignorant belief, including King Kong. To be honest, I miss the old "killer gorilla."
The current generation of movies is more based on the hypothesized theories on the fiction, so it is making a lot of more common sense than the old school monster movies.
Even King Kong is purely fictional, but it is very scientific that they are trying to explain how a group of Gigantopithecus was evolving to become even bigger and more gorilla-like on an island with full of dangerous prehistoric predators.
It is like Avatar, how they are making the fiction to look more scientological.
