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.

My brother who lives in Birmingham just told me that the Georgia Aquarium is getting two more whale sharks! Really though? I mean, I know it's a big tank, but.... I was just there a couple weeks ago. They have 3 now. The male, frankly, did not look well. Spiraling in the center of the tank, mouth gaping, hitting the floor. Anyone know how it's doing now, BTW?
