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.

Purussaurus brasilicus
This genus has been known for more than 100 years but recently specimens, especially Campbell and Frailey's reconstruction of a well preserved skull, showed these alligatoroids to be broad headed high skulled monsters with 2 meter skulls, estimated of st least 12 meters long and estimated weight of at least 10 tons. A jaw fragment from the same genus has been found that extrapolates to an even larger individual than the 2 m skull, with a TBL estimated at slightly over 13,5 m.
