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.

101 years ago Robert Griggs began his exploration into the Katmai region. Volcanic ash and pumice were expected, but Griggs also encountered a landscape recently decimated by a mysterious flood of unprecedented size. The 6 mile wide valley had been filled several feet deep with water, uprooting trees and carrying them out into Katmai bay. 

As we celebrate the centennial of the National Park Service, Katmai commemorates the 100 year anniversary of the discovery of the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes. Follow our Facebook page and look for #VTTSDiscovery to relive the thoughts, emotions, and challenges Griggs and his team faced.

In the bear's world, there are no moral standards. Some bears will steal salmon from other, less dominant bears to get an easy meal. This is called "pirating." In this particular situation in 2010, 438 and her two 3.5 year old cubs were able to gang up on a larger and normally more dominant male, taking his catch from him.
