Excerpt from Watched by Wild Animals As I sat on a log watching two black bears playing in a woods opening, a faint crack of a stick caused me to look behind. A flock of mountain sheep were watching me only a few steps distant. A little farther away a wildcat sat on a log, also watching me. There prob ably were other watchers that I did not see. Animals use instinct and reason and also have curiosity - the desire to know. Many of the more wide-awake species do not run panic stricken from the sight or the scent of man. When it is safe they linger to watch him. They also go forth seeking him. Their keen, auto matic, constant senses detect him afar, and stealthily, sometimes for hours, they stalk, follow and watch him.
