It's like watching a city sidewalk, only with animals instead of people.

Seeing the lynx right after the mountain lion really highlighted how weird they look to me😂

I love this. I am a huge fan of animals and nature but I do not care to watch the survival, hunting and death in nature. I am too empathetic to handle it, makes me sad, even though I completely understand it. Goofy, but yeah… that is why I love this, all the cuteness, awe and beauty without the killing parts… lol
