Have you heard of Kevin Richardson, the lion tamer? I hadn't. You may have heard of Grizzly Man (aka. Timothy Treadwell), who famously chronicled the lives of bears in Alaska. He was ultimately killed by a bear, mauled to death along with his girlfriend. There's even a documentary entitled "Grizzly Man" that was released in 2005.
Now, I'm definitely an animal lover, but I would never have dreamed of risking my life to spend time with them. On the upside, the work of these few amazing people has changed the way we look at "dangerous" animals. Maybe they're not so dangerous after all! And it also shows that body language among other cues can be a very powerful tool when working with animals. They can sense a lot more than we give them credit for.
Something to think about.
Toodles,
