Yeah, I concur with Afroza, I don't think I can really relate the strange experiences I've had with animals, because usually it's during a mushroom trip or when I've been wandering in the forest pretty stoned, so my memory is kind of dreamy and foggy, but I've had some seriously close and seriously strange experiences with animals. They respond big time to your energy/body language, and if that energy is loving, or child like, or without a schedule, the animals will interact with you, not as a human, but as part of their world. That's why I urge people to spend time meditating in nature, because you'll be sitting at your secret spot, practicing a sense awareness, and when your brainwaves/energy level are at baseline, you'll look up and see a fox standing a few feet away staring at you, or you'll have a buck walk right by you 10 feet away, or a family of mink play in the water in a trout stream while you sit and giggle at the sheer pleasure they seem to derive from it. Or birds will land on you, or I remember one time I was super baked next to the factory I used to work at just when I went RVAF, which bordered a nature preserve (awesome, I know...) And I went for a walk down the path and all of a sudden I was covered in painted butterflies and they were kissing me! That is they wanted some mineral or compound on my skin, just the same though, to be covered in 10 of these delicate little flying pieces of origami is quite the experience. They didn't care if I moved around, they were content to sit on me, it was like having a living coat on.
But, if you wanted to share Afroza, I too would love to hear any stories about close encounters with wildlife, those have been some of my favorite experiences in life, such a gift to be able to see these animals up close, interact with them instead of just seeing them running to and fro on the freeway.
