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.

Wow Brotherbear, that blog is not just very interesting, but it seems also very "polemic". The Dr that wrote it is against the "popular" knowledge that polar bears are been affected by global warming. I think that we need to read more of this blog, some conclusions are interesting and we need to take in count them.
Also, I read something about the bear evolution and this will help us very much, specially in the definition of "species", proving again that a time of 600,000 to 500,000 years is more than enough to split two different species, and this will be the case of polar-brown bears and cave-modern lions.
On the bear size issue, I will put the pages of Gerard Wood's book, this time from 1982 (3rd. and last edition), there are some new records, but other old ones has been omitted. It is good to have the two versions.
