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.

A grizzly will seldom exceed 30 mph. In the ancient Roman arena, there was once a huge European grizzly pitted against a rhinoceros ( either an African black or white ). There was no fight; simply a killing as the rhino demolished the bear.
It won't exceed 35 mph when simply striding or hunting an animal, but when threatened for dear life, a grizzly can run up to 45 mph (even the larger ones) due to pure adrenaline.
