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.
I know, it’s fascinating. Would be interesting to know if their bodies have made some evolutionary adjustments to counter the altitude and lack of oxygen plus the cold. I know that snow leopards when diverged from tigers got deep chest cavities with wide nostrils and a very good lung capacity. For tigers, who are much larger, they would need more calories than the ones in the plains, so hunt more? And everything they do would require them to expend more energy doing it and it becomes a cycle.
