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.

In early November 2019, a pod of orcaswere seen chasing a shark, with some other sharks being nearby. One of the other sharks was apparently 'unnerved' by the presence of orcas, while another did not appear to be 'perturbed', according to Oceans Research.

Watching this video is so scary! I can't believe the divers got so close to the sharks while they were feeding. Even though they won't attack, I wouldn't want to dive in when they're eating a whale carcass. Thanks for sharing this video!
