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.

There are some appreciated and on point contributions, but most pages are filled by those dubious old stories about giant bears who would karate-chop charging bulls à la Masutatsu Oyama movie, pretended as proof of the brown bear prowess as predator. Are you kidding me?
Chill down, mate, come on.
If there's something Brotherbear isn't is a fan boy.
Yes, many of the posts come from books, from stories, personal , first hand experiences and also, I'm sure, tales a little bit exaggerated.
And all of that is clearly stated by him many times.

Just pointing out that the title is misleading and ought to be named "grizzly bear stories".
It's his thread, his work, so I don't think anyone can say how he can call it.
Now, to be fair, I think the thread serves as both.
With anecdotes of the likes he enjoys reading, from books and this older, classical style, but also with more modern and also more accurate hunting attempts.
