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 Bear Almanac by Gary Brown.
"Bears ... have the biggest brains relative to body size of any carnivore, giving them ample capacity to interpret and remember...", according to Candace Savage in 'Grizzly Bears'.
Studies at the University of Tennessee psychology department indicate that American black bears are highly intelligent, probably more so than many other mammals of the world. "Bears are highly intelligent and individualistic," relates Terry Domico, "and are capable of nearly as many responses in a given circumstance as a human.
Some biologists believe the highly adaptable brown bear is intelligent enough to be ranked with primates, like monkeys and baboons."
"I would give the grizzly first place in the animal world for brainpower," noted Enos Mills in 'The Grizzly'.
