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.

This could develop into a debate. Your turf, that is. That's why you was hired. Not expecting a homerun, but I wouldn't mind seeing a bit more than this. 

Everything in nature is function. In predators in particular, anything resulting in excessive room or weight is lost energy. Big cats don't use their teeth to catch leeches and a big braincase wasn't needed to catch a three-legged deer. Brains, more than anything else, are energy-consuming and everyone who knows a bit about wild tigers says they's clever. Could be a result of their solitary way of life, but jaguars and leopards also don't like crowds and they, braincasewise, compare to lions. What is different about the tiger, apart from leaving the family so early? And why do hunters consider wild lions very intelligent as well? What's the difference between clever and clever? 

You ok, my friend?
