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.
One addition to clear up a bit. I am not saying, that rainforest leopards couldn´t be bigger than leopards on some other area, it can be so. But are they really and if so, questions is also, that how much. Are we talking about slight differences, quite clear or really big differences. With current information it feels too early to make some big conclusions about some big differences.
When someone wants to convince others about something, which looks like to be quite different from things which are so far considered to be... should I say "common knowledge", then criticism will be there. That is just as it is, this isn´t first or last debate here. And that is good, many times in these debates everyone notices something new and new points of views. I think, that you have a point in what you say even though I am not sure how big that point is really. But hopefully that is found out after some time :)
