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.
Tracking Gobi Grizzlies.
Bears, though omnivorous, operate with a carnivore's anatomy, which includes a relatively small stomach and short, straight intestinal tract. This is a digestive system designed for animals whose diet consists chiefly of meat and other animal tissues - concentrated energy food that doesn't require a lot of processing. To obtain a similar level of nutrition from a largely vegetarian diet, Gobi bears can't just compensate by eating more plant bulk. They have to high-grade what's available, seeking out the richest parts of the most palatable species.
