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.
From the book - The Cave Bear Story by Bjorn Kurten: It is no surprise, then, to discover that the cave bear indeed had a much longer thigh, but a shorter shin and foot, than the brown or grizzly bear. Much the same holds for the front limb, in which the humerus ( upper arm bone ) is very long but the forearm and hand comparatively short.
*This means that we cannot fairly compare the ulna of Ursus maritimus tyrannus with that of the cave bear.
