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.

The big cats are among the world's most popular animals along with dogs, house cats, horses, eagles, and wolves; As can be seen on calendars, wall art, etc. Here we have ( to date ) just two bear enthusiasts. Myself the grizzly and Polar the polar bear. Try as I might, I have found no other willing to partiscipate. Bear enthusiasts are a rare breed.
From where I am , thank to you, I learn a lot about bears, how fascinating they are... Indeed the big cats are more popular, but you're showing, demonstrating, that bears have as much interest as lions or tigers.
Thank to you too, I realize how much different they could be during the prehistoric times/periods. An arctodus is as different from a extant bear as a smilodon from an extant big cat. And I am impatient to learn more a lot about them and species like ursus tyrannus you had mentionnned .
