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.

Some of the photographs seem like paintings, Rishi. The colourful descriptions you added underline the impression I got after reading Sy Montgomery's great book 'Spell of the Tiger - the man-eaters of Sunderbans' (New York, 1995).

The Sunderbans is a beautiful, silent and magical place at the edge of land and water, very different from other wild regions. In spite of the effort to draw it closer to our world, it remains a prehistoric region in many ways. And we don't belong there. In 2017, I again found many reports about missing persons and tiger attacks. That and quite a few articles about tiger-widows. 

If we mix the great photographs, the descriptions, the books and the many articles, we should be able to create a thread that would be close to a good book. A must try, I think.  

Agreed with all  comments made after the second long Sunderban post, Rishi. Excellent work.
