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.

Yellowstone Bears in the Wild
Curiosity trumps fear. One evening along the road to the east gate we watched a male grizzly grazing nearby. It had been grazing for an hour when a speeding car skidded to a stop and the driver started honking the horn. With an explosive start, the bear bolted into the woods. We lingered, grousing ( nice word ) about our vehicular visitor as darkness arrived. We were about to leave when a bear nose appeared behind a nearby spruce. Cautiously, the same bear that had run away inched directly to the skid marks left by the car. It sniffed them and then, curiosity satisfied, returned to grazing.
