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.
Alborz is really the symbol of animal resilience against humanity, between all animals I've seen first hand being rescued in my reserve or in documentaries as a whole I think none comes close to what Alborz experienced.
He was allegedly shot over 50 times according to a site ( I doubt that number, but he had a lot of bullet wounds and he already survived getting shot) , one of those bullets hit the spinal cord so he was completely paralyzed and due to stress it didn't eat for 10 days of captivity.
And think of all the sedating and the energy it takes to get fully awake. There are animals who simply don't wake up but that could be due to the dose.
May he rest in complete peace in the arms of Mother Nature that created him for how strong and nearly invincible he was ❤️
