Not much really. I live in a suburb where I don’t really get to see much wildlife. The only time I really saw wild animals was whenever I went to a zoo but it’s not like I actually got to go in and pet the wildlife because they were behind glass or metal bars. When I was in middle school our dean issued a warning about bobcats and coyotes being in the vicinity of the school and so my parents would always pick me up before I could get curious and say, OOH I want to see a coyote or bobcat! I don’t know if armadillos are considered wild animals, but I did see one on my walk but I saw it when it was dead. I only see wild animals in movies and as a kid at the zoo. I did see a bunch of deer at Deer Park though in Varanasi, India. It was really cool to see the deer and it is one of my favorite memories of India.
Honestly this is why I love YouTube though because I can watch all the elephants, tigers and bears I want without worrying about getting trampled or eaten for dinner (of course I’m probably making an unfair generalization about these animals because they’re probably not always out to get me or eat me for dinner and are probably just trying to protect themselves against predators.) I remember seeing a YouTube video of this man named Paul Barton and he always played music on his piano for elephants in this elephant sanctuary in Thailand. Seeing these videos has brought me so much pure joy and it kind of makes me want to book a plane ticket to that elephant sanctuary.
