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.

That song is fitting for a bear. A grizzly is physically capable of taking down large prey - example: 300 pound barren ground grizzlies have been known to fight and kill 900 pound musk oxen. However, a bear does not like risking death or injury and so will nearly always prey upon the juveniles of large animals such as elk, moose, or bison. They are foragers who spend much of their days browsing on vegetation, ants and termites, turning over rocks and ripping open stumps and fallen trees for insects, catching fish, and digging for roots or burrowing rodents. The song "King of the Road" by Roger Miller would just about be fitting for a bear.
