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.

I read once of a snow leopard that killed a Himalayan brown bear. something we must remember is that most bears are not mature boars. Bears are most vulnerable to other large predators during the first few years after their separation from 'Momma Bear'. A young bear must be on constant alert not only for wolves or big cats, but especially for mature male bears. As for jaguars and Andes bears, I have found no records of interactions. I'm not at all certain that they share an environment anywhere.
