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.

@Sanju :

About #599: An adult giraffe like this one can weigh 1200-1500 kilos... Yes, very great power and strength !

@Pckts :

About #598: amazing photo sequences ! 2 big maned bully against an infortunate warthog... Big energy expenditure ! I would believe these two males wanted really to confront each other. a sort of game in which the debusked warthog was only a pretext.

Nature is extremely brutal. For one life to thrive, one has to diminish! Here, Benna one of 3 black rock males get his canine on one unlucky Warthog! Over the years, Benna has been beaten over and over again. His left fore leg is in bad state, but how actually did he got that pumba ?? Do you want to know? Stay tuned........

Yeah, I didn't watch this doc due to lack of free time. I'll definitely watch it later. Thanks for suggestion !

But, currently I'm looking for "latest" "new" Tiger documentaries (irrespective of the region and tiger variety) to give a watch.

Can anyone suggest a documentary I'm looking for (should be new or latest not old ones) ??? @Spalea @Rishi @Shadow

That was like "bam". Lightning speed, quick kill. Unforgivable mistake by wildebeest is to go against him instead of running away (still in danger though). WONDER when our Kuno lion do this soon. Happy

No, a full adult giraffe has a more developed stature: longer and broader neck, stronger morphology.

Look at these ones and compare:
