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.

The Bears of Katmai by Matthias Breiter.
For a long-distance chase, they are much too heavy. Nobody would call them fleet-footed; their legs are relatively short, but they are still much more mobile than are the limbs of typical runners. As they are packed heavily with muscle, the stout forelegs of bears are capable of producing great force over a much wider range of motion than those of cats and dogs. The mobility and strength of their limbs are of great importance for bears in their search for food, such as digging for roots. The animals may not be able to escape danger by fleeing, but as a rule they are quite capable of defending themselves through brute force.
