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.

But I did not wish to complain because I really love to see good comparison picture and, for the most part, this one is great. ( post # 518 ).
Heh, I made that fully aware, that it is far from perfect, but sometimes it is good to be somewhat inaccurate to make some discussion Provoking a little bit even. Still this kind of "standing" comparison gives in some cases a very different kind of visualization about animal sizes. It is so much easier to understand how terrific for instance a bear can appear to some other animal when it stands up and roars. When someone say, that this animal is 3 feet taller than another, it is some numbers. But when it is actually visualized by putting them in comparison side to side, then it is so different thing and suddenly many people understand what is difference between two animals, which both are in mental images big. Suddenly one is still big, but another one is huge.
