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.

It's very interesting that despite the dietary overlap only P. trigonatus has evolved to have some retention of gastroliths. 

Reading over the in situ dietary observation, the gut washing procedure sounds stressful to say the least for the specimens. Hopefully the data nonetheless allows conservationists to have a guide in protecting these species' prey bases.
