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 Beast that walks like Man by Harold McCracken.
The grizzly bear is certainly the most pugnacious and extraordinary survivor of that prehistoric era. Just why and how the mastodons and the saber-toothed tigers, and all of those other mighty creatures of the bygone past, became doomed to complete extinction by nature's inexorable laws of survival is still one of the many unsolved mysteries which man would like to understand. It is not that the grizzly was smarter or that he clawed the others into the dust. Such things have repeatedly happened through the eons of time; and there is no evident rhyme, reason, or plan in the pattern by which species have been wiped from the face of the earth.
