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.

With the polar bear, my thoughts are that blubber better fuels his high-energy needs to survive in his harsh environment. Grizzlies and black bears certainly have no trouble devouring red meat.
I think you saw yesterday i posted grizzly's diet chart in that maximum 9% of her diet may consist of read meat in that maximum 3% from its own hunt. IS 'stealing' cubs from momma is hunt!!
Anyway,There are many documented evidences of SB kick-out srilankan leopards from their kill.(SB in Srilanka are smaller and Leopards are bigger than Indian cousins).Except Polar all bears eat Ants,Moths and Worms.
