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 Russian Far East is a mystery for many. We know it has brown bears, Himalayan black bears, Amur tigers and wild boars, but we don't know how and when they interact. And in what way. The articles published in the period 1992-2018, although very informative, reveiled something, but we want to know a bit more.

The best way to get there, is books. Books written in the time the Russian Far East still was an uninterrupted sea of forest from the Russian Maritime Province all the way to Lake Baikal. Some explorers, naturalists, hunters and biologists, often one and the same back then, wrote books. The most famous no doubt is 'Dersu The trapper' (Arseniev).    

V.D. Sysoev, however, was more productive in the book department. Like many, he explored the Russian Far East a long time ago. As he was there a very long time, he must have seen a lot. He could be our man, that is. What did he see? Most fortunately, Sysoev wrote books. Lots of them, in fact. The problem is they are in Russian. 

Wolverine is the only member able in Russian. Every translation he posts, therefore, will be much appreciated. Thanks again on behalf of all, Wolverine, and please continue. We're very interested.

As to Amur tigers and Ussuri wild boars. Some time ago, I posted parts of an article on wild boars. It said Ussuri wild boars are the largest of their species. Interesting, of course, but what does it mean? 

Now photographs come in. Anything available? Yes.

Here's two I found on the new Carnivora forum some weeks ago. They were posted by poster 'Atrox' and they're telling.

Here's the difference between a Sardinian wild boar (Sardinia is an island in the Mediterranean) and an Ussuri wild boar (ventral view):

Here's another one. Adult male Ussuri wild boar (354 kg. or 781 pounds) and adult grey wolf:

Peter, could you tell me where the boar's skull discovered ? and how about the size number of this boar'skull?
