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.

Curiously enough Southern Mexico and more specially Yucatan peninsula has not only smallest jaguars and pumas but also one the smallest human race in world - Mayas and smallest trees and smallest tropical forests. During my week long trip there in 2011 I was amazed to see that the vast forests of the province are only 4-6 meters high... and adult men from Maya tribe around 1,40-1,50. When a white man is in Yucatan he has an impression that he is a Gulliver in the land of Lilliputs. Everything in Yakatan is weirdly dwarfish, including jaguars, a dozen of them I saw when they where transported in cages by special trucks on the roads, they really have a size of Indian leopards.
If we put aside the theory of extra-terrestrial origins of ancient Mayas only scientific explanation is that local soils have extremely law fertility and are poor on minerals.
