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.

[b]I'm not at all certain how much of this can be confirmed: Bart the Bear is said to have weighed 1,500 pounds ( 680 kg ). Goliath is said to have weighed in excess of 2,000 pounds; 1 ton ( 907 kg ). Clyde, it is said, was weighed in at 2,136 pounds ( 968.9 kg ). Both Goliath and Clyde were zoo Kodiak bears.
