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.

According to Norwalk:

"The Asiatic black bear frequents moist deciduous forests and brushy areas, especially in the hills and mountains. It ascends to elevations as high as 3,600 meters in the summer and descends in the winter. It swims well. According to Lekagul and McNeely (1977), this bear is generally nocturnal, sleeping during the day in hollow trees, caves, or rock crevices. It is also seen abroad by day when favored fruits are ripening. It climbs expertly to reach fruit and beehives. It usually walks on all fours but often stands on its hind legs so that its forepaws can be used in fighting. The diet includes fruit, buds, invertebrates, small vertebrates, and carrion. Domestic livestock is sometimes taken, and animals as large as adult buffalo are killed by breaking their necks."
