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.

The image may look like white shark but is not the same, as we can erase the outline and leave only the jaws. By the way, even then we can see that the cetacean has a bigger bite than the shark.

Yes, but either way, it's not unusual to use modern creatures to imagine or reconstruct the looks, behaviour or ecology of prehistoric animals, even if in a minor way. For instance, if sharks didn't exist today, then we wouldn't have this reconstruction, would we?
