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.

"Love him or hate him, the infamous short mane male in the Mapogo coalition earned the respect of his harshest critics this morning. True to his character he fought alone to protect his territory, an ageing lone male against four bristling newcomers. Unfortunately the outcome was inevitable and the death of Mr T all but ends the reign of the Mapogo.
He went honorably and for that we salute him. It was a privilege to have spent six years with these animals. RIP."
