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.
Off topic, but since it has been brought up; I once wrote what I perceived as a very polite letter to a gorilla sanctuary in Georgia ( USA ), and asked if their was any possible way to test the strength of a gorilla. I made it clear that the test should not in any way be harmful, uncomfortable, or unpleasant for the ape. The response I received was anything but pleasant. You would think that I had asked them to boil the gorillas alive. There has never, to my knowledge, been any type of strength-test performed with a gorilla.
