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.

Despite having member species that are the biggest animals ever known to have lived on the planet, especially the blue whale (Balænoptera musculus), this group of whales has predators, at least the orca or killer whale (Orcinus orca), a large species of dolphin which likely got its latter name from killing baleen whales, and was thus called "whale killer": https://animals.howstuffworks.com/mammal...-whale.htm, https://marinebio.org/species/orcas-kill...inus-orca/
