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.

Rangers from Djuma said somethink elese. You can hear James Henry here (from 1:25:30):
Also as far as I know Brent Leo Simith as well said than DM is bigger than Birminghams.
Knowing that Robin saw to both coalitions and he say that are on a similar size this is enough to know their sizes.
Anyway, Thanks for post the link
"Knowing that Robin saw to both coalitions and he say that are on a similar size this is enough to know their sizes."
Rather no one will judge better size of BIrmingham males than Djuma rangers as they no just seen them, but were watching them for nearly 3 years on daily basis.
"I think DarkMane is the weakest of all the Avocas with that lame front leg"
If you mean just health then it seems like it althrough lame is not that bad and according to rangers when he is warmed up (after a bit of walking), the limp is not even visible. It is just when he starts moving then limp is visible. Anyway as long as he hold to Talamati pride he should be perfectly fine.
