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.

Just read a 103 yr old Orca affectionately nicknamed "Granny" was spotted off the
coast of Western Canada. Sea world claims orcas can live up to 20 yrs and most die
within  4-5 yrs in captivity. As a result of this sighting, conservationists are calling for
the release of all captive orcas for obvious reasons. Wild orcas can swim long distances
on a daily basis, thus providing the necessary exercise to remain vibrant and healthy,
leading to longevity not found in confined, captive specimens. I agee 100%

Killer whales have always been my favorite aquatic animal. Highly intellegent, graceful and cooool looking,
these creatures deserve a much better fate than a fishbowl. Some creatures adapt much better to captivity
than others, orcas not being one of them.
