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.

The normal collaring protocol calls for keeping a continuous watch over a bear coming out of the drug's effects until the animal regains enough strength and coordination to amble off. The reason we tucked the stirring but still-groggy female into her makeshift blanket and left her to wake up alone is that Puji had come hurrying back on his motorcycle from checking trap site number three - Tsagaan Burgas ( White Willow ). We had a bear in the box there, too.
When Harry had told me to get my lazy ass out of bed because we had bears to collar, he only knew about the one at Tsagaan Tokhoi. No one imagined that we really did have bears - plural - to deal with, or that we would, within the space of a few hours, match our yearly average of two successful captures.
