    It's interesting how often you capture different animals staring directly back at the camera intently. Do they love paparazzi? Do they pick up on the light or some reflection given off by the camera (maybe some tantalizing toy)? Are they adapted to the threat of firearms/tranquilizers, trying to assess a threat? It's pretty amusing to see how often you manage to capture the behavior.
