“Traveling has allowed me to get close to animals in the wild in a way like I’d never expected. Last year I stood 10 feet away from a mature Rocky Mountain Bighorn sheep while visiting Glacier National Monument.   He stood only briefly while I stared in awe.  I could see deep into his big dark eyes.  This majestic wild animal had no fear of me, in fact, I almost felt as if he were as curious about me as I was about him.  I feel an absolutely real sense that there is much more communication between humans and animals than anyone really considers.”
