Some mammals like raccoons and squirrels manage to fit themselves into the human world. Sadly, that is not true of the vast majority of them, and it is exciting and increasingly rare to see them in their natural state.

"If all the beasts were gone, men would die from a great loneliness of spirit, for whatever happens to the beasts also happens to the man. All things are connected. Whatever befalls the Earth befalls the sons of the Earth."
~Chief Seattle of the Suwamish Tribe, letter to President Franklin Pierce
