Wild creatures remain wild. They aren’t cute or cuddly or sweet. They are looking for a meal and a mate. That is what drives them just about every moment of the day.

True. Not many city folk realize that. One of the scariest animal encounters I ever had was finding myself in the middle of a harem of female sea lions off the coast of Afognak Island in Alaska in a 12 ft. inflatable dinghy with an 8hp motor. When we realized what we had gotten into we got away as fast as that 8hp would run and THEN we encountered a young male sea lion who was trying to get in with the dominant bull’s ladies and he didn’t like us being there at all. We had two big game rifles but I was not about to try shooting a critter who could swim faster than our little boat would move.
