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.

Polar Bears are the largest predators that stalk the earth. Adult males average about 1.000 pounds (454 kg), females half that weight, although pregnant females with well developed fat reserves tip the scales at 1.100 pounds (500 kg). Large dominant males exceed 1.500 pounds (681 kg). A male tagged and released by researchers weighed almost 2.000 pounds (909 kg). One male stuffed and on display in the Anchorage air terminal, is reported to have weighed over 2.200 pounds (1000 kg) when killed but this figure is disputed by bear experts. This Bear stands just over eleven feet tall. Book White Bear Encounter with the Masters of the Artic Ice (Charles T. Feazel). Pictures taken from the Book Polar Bear (Guravich & Matthews)
