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 brown hyena lives in the Sothern parts of the African continent, it's a medium sized carnivore, the size difference between the sexes are not very noticeable, but the males are a little bigger than females the males typically weigh 40-44 kg while females weigh 37-40 kg, but a large female weighed 72 kg. The body length averages on 144 cm, witch a range of 130-160 cm. Shoulder height is 70-80 cm. The brown hyena is a notorious scavenger, able to fend of multiple wild dogs (seems better at this than a single spotted hyena), cheetahs and even leopards in search for their kills. They will although sometimes hunt for themselves for the most part small mammals, they are becoming quite famous for killing cape fur seal pups.
