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.

Man Meets Grizzly by Young and Beyers.
When mature, a grizzly has claws from four to seven inches long; not curved and sharp like the black bear's, but large, slightly curved, and somewhat concave on the underside, very much resembling a chisel, and well-adapted for digging, tearing logs apart, and fighting, when necessary. With these unique tools the grizzly will remove huge quantities of earth and rocks quickly in pursuit of a rodent morsel or dig a pit large enough to bury the carcass of a range bull, which he carefully covers up to insure a future meal for himself. And of course the claws are formidable weapons in combat, cutting like razors and strong as steel.
