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.

Charlie the “Bengal” tiger at Australia Zoo, who weighs about 115 kg (despite being dubbed a Bengal tiger by Australia Zoo, Charlie and his siblings are actually Sumatran-Bengal hybrids - more so Sumatran than Bengal):

In 2013, Charlie made headlines when he mauled his keeper, leaving the man in intensive care with injuries to his neck and face. He didn’t blame the tiger for the attack, and returned to working with him the next year. Indeed, a WHS investigation found that the keeper had deliberately over-excited the tiger to put on a “better show” for the watching visitors - a terrible practice.
