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.

4600 metres is insane! (Just to put that in perspective, Mount Blanc is 4800 metres). The oxygen level is about 50% of what it is at sea level. I think the previous record was 4100 metres. The tree line barely exists after 3750 metres. That is snow leopard zone, even leopards don’t venture this high.
The amount of calories burnt just walking is doubled and then they would have to hunt and eat more just to maintain that size.
I am sure just like Sundarbans tigers, these ones have also evolved some morphological changes to survive.
