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.

Beverly Joubert: " Standing tall. When posing on an open Kenyan plain - in their typically regal stature – giraffes are the embodiment of elegance and poise. But make no mistake, if two males disagree they quickly abandon their composure and swing their heads at one another’s necks in attempts to bludgeon their way to dominance. Many of these “necking” rituals are low-grade affairs – an opportunity for the giraffes to size up their rivals by leaning and pushing against one another. Full-scale sparring is a more dramatic event. Bulls brace their legs and use their upper bodies like sledgehammers, throwing their heads in wide-reaching sweeps. In some instances, the loser may be knocked out cold.⁣

Fortunately, there’ll be no head-swinging for this mating pair – just a lot of lofty showing off, almost as if they know they are a head and neck above everything else!⁣ "
