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.

Its time for us - tiger lovers and lion lovers to open our eyes in the front of the truth and admit that the brown bear is way stronger than any cat. Sadly.
Why sadly ? At least, adult brown and polar bears are in "another league" with regard to the big cats. No shame to admit that.
We could believe that, at each occasion an adult tiger, being a pure predator, would kill by ambush a same-sized bear, or think that a whole pride of lions could get the better of an adult bear as it was possible in the past during the pleistocene period. If that is any consolation for us...
But the wild life isn't a sport tournament within which we could count and recognize the victories of our beloved and favourite animal specy (tiger, lion...) at the expense of other animals. Its absolute beauty is somewhere else.
And if we want to be amazed in front of the wild life shows and to protect and serve it (the wild life), how childish and waste of time are these speculations !
