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.

Brown Bear by Melissa Gish.
Brown bears have a powerful bite force. Even a great white shark's bite, at 690 pounds of pressure per square inch ( 48.5 kg/cm ), or psi, is no match for a brown bear's bite at 1,200 psi ( 84.4 kg/cm ).
The bones in the legs and paws are thick, and each paw has five digits ending in sharp claws that can be up to six inches long. The force that a bear can excert with its front paws is enormous. One swipe can behead a moose or crush its spine.
