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.
Coincidentally, neither the Andean bear nor the giant panda hibernate. These two species are not of the Ursus genus. Neither do the sun bears nor the sloth bears, both of which have questionable ancestry. Now, I do realize that due to their environments, this is not strong evidence that neither Arctodus simus nor Tremarctos floridanus hibernated. But, is does give room for thought.
