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 jaguar approached the giant otters slowly and silently. She tried to bite the neck of the giant otter furthest from the water, but the giant otter fought back valiantly, turning onto its back, biting the cheek of the jaguar, and scratching her with its claws. Eventually, the giant otter managed to escape with the rest of the group into the water. From the moment the attack started until all of the giant otters fled together to the water, the giant otters screamed ferociously. This is a female jaguar called Luciana. She seems to be an opportunistic hunter, having recently been seen hunting a bare-faced currasow, South American coatis, capybaras and now a giant otter.
