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.
Different individuals mature at different rates. Just like humans (and other mammals). Take the 2 huge sons of P141 from Panna. They are 18-19 months old and are bigger than most in their age group. Doesn’t mean it will translate to adulthood.
Another example of this is Chota Bheem and his brother Pujari male. For the first 4 years, everyone was sure Chota Bheem was the bigger of the two. Now, look at Pujari male. He is a late bloomer.
