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.

Asiatic male lion : Domestic buffalo ( 300 to 600 kg ) , nilgai bulls and sambar stags.

Amur tiger : Manchurian moose ( 260-300 kg...note smaller than Alaskan/Canadian moose ) , domestic animals including oxen and horses.

Sumatran tiger : Domestic animals and sambar stags ( circa 150 kg in Sumatra , smaller than mainland sambars )
