Thoughts on safety around animals

1 Don't turn your back on an animal to take a selfie.
2 Others may be standing apparently safely near animals - but they might be attacked in five minutes time - and so could you.

An animal looking at you may be preparing to attack. A woman was taking a selfie in front of a bison in the USA. Luckily she lived to tell the tale.

Don't lie down either. Especially not near an emu in Australia. It could get amorous.

And while we're on this subject, keep your dog on a leash well away from water in Florida.

I have just written a fictional book about a girl with a dog trying to escape from an escaped lion at a safari park.
It is called
Larry The Talking Dog, Cathy Cat and Escaped Lions.
