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.
California Grizzly - 1955. DEATH - The grizzly was so formidable that it probably had few real enemies. It seems likely that once a bear was fully mature, only the physical forces of nature, disease, or actual senility could cause its death. Of grizzlies in the Rockies, Enos Mills ( 1919 : 58 - 60 ) mentions individuals killed by a forest fire, a desert flood, a falling stone from a cliff, and a snowslide. He found one fat young grizzly which, though apparently healthy, had been frozen to death while hibernating during an extremely cold winter with little snow, and had a report of an old bear that perished similarly.
