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.

Massive puma from Mato Grosso, meaning its likely a Pantanal or Amazonian specimen. While Pantanal and especially Amazonian pumas are generally frail and tiny, it's clear why this tom is so big and robust, the prey base of large ungulates in the area is excellent. Massive feral hogs and tapirs, abundant peccaries.
Also, notice the huge size difference between the hogs and the white-lipped peccaries. The latter clearly doubling in size their New World counterparts and not being too far off from the tapir.
