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.

Every now and then, a photograph of a wild carnivore and a human is published. Most are posted in threads about the animal featured in the photograph, but my feeling is they don't belong there. For this reason, this thread was created. I propose to post photographs of wild carnivores and humans in this thread.
The thread Apollo started ('Vintage') some time ago in another section is quite similar, but most of the animals over there were photographed after they were shot. The proposal is to post live animals in this thread. All wild carnivores go, but we'd like to see those alive and well when possible.
No captive animals, no circus animals and no trophy animals, ok?
