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.

Great Horned Owls are the only predators of Skunks, the Great Horned Owl is not deterred by the strong scent of its spray. Some Great Horned Owl pairs bring so many skunks to their young that their nest can be located by the odor alone. The smell of the Skunk may linger for years.

Glaucidium brasilianum in Parque del Este, Caracas, Venezuela. It is a very small owl that measures 16 centimeters long, it eats birds as big as it, the easiest way to find it is using playback because it always responds to it and big  numbers of little birds that are part of their diet start to fly around ready to attack and to stay away from it.
