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.

I see a rhino. Amazing they all live in one enclosure
Yes, the male is the one I showed, but he is getting shipped to a different enclosure as well as being a bit to feisty with the young one and the other animals in the enclosure, there are 3 females and a youngster in that pond.
It really is what I imagine a real safari would be like, just on a much, much smaller scale and without predators, its a massive amount of land for these animals to roam but still goes to show you how much they truly need.
There is just enough space for a herd of females and one male of each species, imagine how much space is needed for 100s of 1000s of these beasts?
I got to see both White and One horned rhino and I must say, they are the most powerful and compact animal I can imagine.
I saw african elephant as well, they were training, and they are just huge. I wasn't close enough to get a true grasp of their size.
Which brings me to my next point, there is no way of truly knowing how large these guys are until they are right in front of you, I was blown away even at the blue bull. He is the size of a horse, then to think that there are predators capable of taking these massive animals down, its just so cool to think about.
And I almost forgot, we watched the cheetah run,
The first let a dog do it for you to see, then the cheetah.
The cheetah is so sturdy and tall, its strides are so long and it is sooooooooooo fast. Made the dog look like it was standing still, the dog was probably a sheppard mix, the cheetah was probably 4-6''s taller at the shoulder and much larger and longer. Its a big cat, just gets lost in the fray of all the other large animals it lives with.
