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.
Katmai National Park ... Ever wonder why bears stand on their hind legs? It was once thought that brown bears have poor vision, though biologists have since determined that bears have about the same eyesight as humans, and superior night vision. Intensely curious animals, brown bears stand upright to get a better look or scent of something that has caught their attention. Photo by NPS/D. Kopshever.
