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.
Like your "average joe," I refer to any and all brown bears as "grizzly" and I love them all. They are all the same species, Ursus arctos. But My favorite among them is the "true grizzly" Ursus arctos horribilis; not the big coastal giants but rather the inland grizzly bears who must scratch out a living without the convenient annual salmon run.
