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.

Melursus theobaldi was an ancestral bear intermediate between the grizzly and the sloth bear. This clearly explains why the sloth bear does not scurry up a tree as he is fully capable of doing. He inherited the grizzly's courage and aggressive behavior.
The fact that a group of grizzlies conquered the tropical environment of India where he adapted and evolved into the sloth bear bears witness to the grizzly bear's incredible survival skills. Just as that other group of grizzlies which conquered the far arctic to evolve into the huge polar bears. The grizzly ( Ursus arctos ) is clearly the King of Bears.
He survived in Europe when the giant cave bears became extinct. He survived in North America when the giant short-faced bears became extinct.
