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.

Batmunkh Mijiddor has written a scientific book about the bears. Although the book is written in Mongolian, Miji plans to have it translated into English at some point in time. According to him, on these Gobi expeditions fourteen bears have been captured and radio collared. All bears were captured during the spring months. Here is what I was able to put together from the book - Tracking Gobi Grizzlies.
