I was mtn. bicycling on a logging road, when I noticed a bobcat in the woods, which bounced onto the road, 10 yards in front of me. Quartering away, it leisurely crossed the road & back into the woods. Beautiful female cat, which gave me time to stop & watch it with binoculars. Long tufted ears, long legs, big wide furry feet. At no time did its eyes watch me. It ignored me. I have noticed this characteristic in other wildlife.
Lots of people think, either wildlife will watch, attack or run away from people. Most often, I think wildlife ignore humans ('cept fer deer, elk, etc. in huntin' season). Ignoring data can often lead to an animal's death.
Wild animals, who ignore people are like AGW deniers. AGW deniers ignore data, till they are dead.
