Who has stayed up watching Discovery Channel and Animal Planet til’ the wee hours of the morning? Is it just me? Come on, drinking a beer while watching Big Cat Diary is what dreams are made of! Animals are f*cking fascinating. Ever since your parents introduced doggies and kitties, I’m sure you’ve been fascinated by our animal counterparts.
I remember begging my mom to sign my permission slip for our class field trip to the zoo as soon as I received it. Then, my grandma decided to chaperone and she didn’t let me run around to say hi to all the animals like I wanted to. Really, grandma?! Let me live my life!
Situations such as coming face to face with a black bear cub, stumbling upon a raccoon digging through your trash, or running into an owl in the middle of a hike are one’s to keep in your memory to recall. Animal encounters are pretty entertaining and most times, they make for some unforgettable stories.
