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.
It's just my opinion, but Ncile looks different. Most of the time both of his cheeks are swollen and they might continue to be off and on for the rest of his life. I really thought that animals don't notice injuries and scars, but perhaps they do when its more or less symetrical and makes the animal look very unusual. They may see it as a weaknesss, too.
