Amazing creatures! The temptation is to anthropomorphize them but humans wouldn’t live so well in the conditions these animals seem to love.

Still Learning To See 
These are such great animals–perfect example of fitting their “niche in Nature” 🙂 I like what you say about NOT anthropomorphizing them, or indeed ANY of our fellow travelers on this planet. I love this quotation:
“In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth.”
Henry Beston

Thank YOU for being the first person I’ve met who has read THE OUTERMOST HOUSE 🙂
