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.

Roaring and scent marking will make those males pretenders. If however they manage to chase/beat/kill current dominant male(s) of that particular arena they are becoming new rulers there. If Black Dams would be roaring, but after that would be chased off by Avoca male then Avoca male would be still dominant male in the arena, through in this case it is otherway around.
