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.

One thing I've noticed is that heart disease and cardiac arrest is the second-leading natural highest death for many humans and both wild/captive apes. On the other hand, bears have much stronger hearts, with polar bears able to move with extremely high intensity (for a prolonged period) even at 60% bodyfat.
Even accounting for body size, hearts of primates seem to be weaker?
I'll provide the data later today. Right now 1 A.M and have to get some sleep.
