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.

A 23 feet shark would hit the scales at 7,000 pounds. Deep Blue is a magisterial beast.
I'm surprised that she is still alive though. Normally people hunt the world record holders down. There are estimated to be less than 3,500 great white sharks left in the wild. They are even more vulnerable to extinction than tigers.
