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.

Personal tale...when I went up to Churchill, Manitoba back in 2014 as part of my second WWF Arctic Expedition trip, the two guides that toured the trip stated that walruses emit a constant smell of butter, rotten meat decay, and unclean sweat at all times. He said that, even at no closer than 100 feet from a large female walrus, that he could smell that exact smell. I have never experienced the smell personally, but I am pretty sure I don't want to after hearing his description of the smell.
