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 Cave Bear Story... The image of the cave bear now emerges very clearly. We can visualize it as a great, ponderously lumbering bear moving about with its muzzle close to the ground most of the time. Although not a tree climber ( except perhaps the cubs ), it would move easily in alpine terrain. Its food would probably consist of succulent plants, berries, roots and tubers dug out of the ground, tender grass, small animals, and so on, and it would certainly not disdain the carcass of prey brought down by doughtier hunters such as the contemporary cave lion, leopard, or cave hyena.
