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.

Not an exact comparison of the two species, but interestingly canids visit carrion more than hyeanids (though it makes up less of their diet). They also actively steal the same amount of kills (11%) with ursids stealing more than any other at 40%, and the felids sitting at 4%.
