What the baby panda has to say…
What Does The Real Panda Think Of The Human Pandas?

———————————–
I couldn’t resist. I had to ask, “Little Panda, What Do You Think Of The Giant Pandas That Put You In The Basket?”
Little Panda says,
“I knew they were not real pandas because they smell different and their faces dont make the chewing motion that pandas make.
But I felt safe because they looked a little like me. Their fur felt and smelled strange, but I kept having a feeling that they were good and that they were going to make me safe.
They brought me to a place that I now call home and I feel the best I have ever felt.
I know that they are human because I know what humans smell like but I know also that I should only let humans that look like pandas pet me. I think they were trying to tell me that. I am thankful for them.
Can I tell you that those humans… if they are helping other pandas than they should break the sticks of vegetation before they feed the pandas cause then it smells tastier and the scared pandas will eat more.”

Greeting The Day In The Wilderness
I ask wild animals,
“What is your first morning
activity or thought?”
Mr. Squirrelly
Mr. Squirrelly says, “The first thing I do is stretch and think about what new plants I smell in the air this morning.” A young squirrel that lives in my palm trees says, “I stretch and yawn and I think about where I should go first, your birdbath or the birdbath down the street. I like to have a drink of water first thing in the morning.”
Sulphur Mountain female deer says, “I make sure my young ones are safe. I tell them to come close and I connect with each one of them by licking their heads. Then I bring them to a safe place to play. After that the herd travels to a place where there is good grass to eat and a stream.”

Sulphur Mountain buck says, “I wake up earlier than everyone else and patrol the boundary of my territory. Then I go and get a younger buck and we do it again together. There is a lot to teach him. Now I am teaching him how to aim his antlers better. If we look like we are good fighters, the mountain lions will pass us by for a weaker herd.”
Ojai East End bear says, “I listen to the birds with my eyes shut while the sun begins to rise. Then I roll back and forth a few times before I stand up. I then head to eat avocados before I go into the stream. I think a lot about whether I want to move up into the mountains, but I have not ventured out of my territory yet. Food is more scarce up there, but it is more peaceful.”
Mourning dove says, “The first thing I do is fly to a safe place on the ground and walk. I like to walk my legs out; otherwise they feel stiff all day. Then I fly to a wire and just sit with my friends watching the morning activity until we get hungry. We talk about the raccoons and how we love to watch their babies play.”
Raccoon says, “I let my babies come out to play just after the sun goes down. Just when the sun rises the babies may have another burst of energy before we retire for the day. When I first awake I count my babies and am thankful for another day. I thank my den, my friends, and my body. I am lucky that I have had no tragedy in my life. I have seen others that suffer. I saw a raccoon once that got his leg stuck in something and he died from an infection. I am careful about the road. I teach my babies not to cross it because I have seen raccoons hurt from those bright-light vehicles.”
Red Tailed Hawk Photo By Jeff Muth
Red-tailed hawk says, “The first thing I think about are my wings. I stretch them, flap them, and then preen my feathers. I will survey my environment and then I just sit for a while with my eyes open. A vision of where I should hunt that day will always come to me. Then I go there and wait for my prey. I never know what I will find at that spot but I always find something. Sometimes my mate and I sit together. Other times he flies off. He likes to fly more than I do. He is always finding different areas to hunt. I like the same spots. He likes to change.”

Dolphin & Tiger in Capitivity
A friend of mine’s husband took pictures of dolphins and a white tiger residing at the Mirage in Las Vegas.
When I scan the pictures the dolphins look happy. A wild dolphin once told me, “There are no mean dolphins.” To me, dolphins seem to posses a never-changing smiling face, though at closer inspection the Mirage dolphins look a little tired and sad in the eye.
The white tiger is lying closely behind a double chain-link fence looking at the passersby. In his picture the tiger looks stoic, calmly curious, and young.
Of course I am curious about what the animals at the Mirage have to say about their lives; I am searching for a happy exotic animal in captivity. So I here I talk to one dolphin and one white tiger.
Dolphin: “I was taken when I was very young from waters that are much colder than this. I am a luckier dolphin because I have some of my pod here with me. It helps when someone else shares your story. I often dream of where I came from.
“I would like to eat the fish that I ate in the wild. It seems so different here. The people are very kind to me and I have made friends with them. They are not the ones that captured the others and me so it is easier to be accepting of them. They teach me things that make my mind feel stimulated and smart but our language is so different.
“Dolphins are much more clever than people. We find any way to love and be kind to one another. People have petty disagreements and often fight for things that are not in their best interest. They want a hierarchy where they will not be at their best. Dolphins are different. We recognize our strengths and our weakness and know where our powers would be best in the pod.
“We struggle a bit because some of the dolphins here were born on different parts of the world. So we have different swimming systems, communication, and organizational patterns. Sometimes we get in each other’s way. But we understand that our natural rhythms are just different. If I could, I would go back into the wild in an instant. I wouldn’t mind forgetting the games humans have taught me. I wouldn’t mind at all.”
White Tiger: “I have a human friend who is great and powerful in ways I do not know how to be. I admire him. I admire his hands and the way he reads people. I admire his skill in being able to tame me. I know that I did not have the teachings of tigers older than me. I feel there is a skill level and consciousness that I do not posses. I have a longing for those teachings.
“I feel like I am only half me or I am an empty being. I am part human now in my ways and that feels wrong. Humans do not smell, hear, or touch the earth like I do. My world is small and I know where I come from because it is written in the minds of people who visit me. I wish I could go to that place and feel like a tiger. I wish I were born elsewhere. I wish my soul felt more tiger than human. I wish I did not have to constantly hold back my instincts. I wish I had more joy in natural toys rather than the toys they provide. Human survival is so different than tiger survival. Your species is exhausting to be around. I wish I could be free.”
Joey
My 16-year-old domestic short-haired cat came to me meowing as I read over the piece. He said, “Mom, that tiger asked me if I mind living with people. Does he hunt mice?”
I told Joey that the tiger would hunt an animal closer to the size of a deer.
Joey said, “I told him I am domestic but I know a little how he feels. We used to live in the country and now we live in town. I like the country better. I told him I have heard of cats that run away and find another person that can fulfill their needs. Maybe he should run away.”
I asked Joey what the tiger responded and he said, “The tiger said he cannot run away because he will get electrocuted by something that will hurt his body and his brain.”
Thank you Susan, Barry, Izzy and Dante for the pictures and the idea!

AFRICAN LION CANNIBAL
Male African Lion (not exact one that speaks in article)
I was watching a TV show on National Geographic Wild called Caught In The Act. This show NatGeo describes as, “Animals are captured on tape in rare and often spontaneous situations. Experts offer us insights into the unique animal behavior.” There was one situation that stumped the expert. On one of his outings he had come across a recently killed dead lion cub. There were two adult African Lions near by. One adult male African lion picked up the cub and took it into the brush. Once he laid down with it he lifted his head and huffed loudly. This looked similar to our domestic house cats when they lift their heads and open their mouths to catch a sent. The naturalist explained that this is usually a subordinate gesture. Then the lion started to lick the dead cub and continued with shocking unexpected behavior. He became a cannibal and proceeded to eat the dead cub. Cannibalism in African Lions is rare. The expert speculated that this behavior was to make a statement rather than out of hunger. He guessed that that this cub was probably this adult African lions offspring. It takes two years for a lioness to be ready to mate after having offspring. So it is not uncommon that a new dominant adult lion will kill cubs so that the lioness will be ready to mate sooner. The expert stated the adult lion is only fertile for three years so the new dominate male probably figured two years is too long to wait and he better kill the cub so the female will be ready sooner.
I ask myself, “What really did happen? Which lion was dominant and who was subordinate? Who killed the cub? Why did the African Lion become a cannibal and eat the cub?” There was a clear picture on film of the African Lion so I decided to ask him myself.
Here is what the cannibal African Lion says, “He had been circling my territory for many days. Each day he would get closer. There were other females in the area but they did not interest him. I could tell that he was stronger than me by the way he paced around my territory. He had more stamina and a cleverer mind. I knew from the beginning that he was stronger. He lied down and watched the cub for hours before he went after it. I made some advances towards him but they were with poor effort. I knew that if we fought I would not win. I let him kill my cub. I forced myself to watch. I could not run away. I know that if I did not fight him I would be allowed to stay in the territory until I found another of my own. I did not mean to eat the cub when I took it away. I meant to just keep it by my side. I wanted to hide it from the lioness. I did not want her to see it. She has acute smell so I thought if I ate it I could hide it. I told myself that it was one of the bigger game and it was not my cub but the sorrow engulfed me and I felt ashamed. I was not starving. I did not need to eat him.”
I ask him, “Wasn’t the lioness near? She must of known everything that happened and there must have been more cubs then just one.”
The lion answers, “She was out hunting with the other lionesses. There was just one cub. She had two but one died very young.”
I ask what happened when she found the cub missing. He answers, “When she came back she knew instantly because the other lion was there and I was not allowed to get close to her. She had seen the other lion circling our territory so she was not surprised. When I saw her from a distance she asked me what I did with the cub and I told her the cub is in the world of spirit. She had known I had taken it away but she does not know what exactly happened to it. I took the rest of his body far and left it for the jackals.”
Voice Of A Domesticated Leopard
The other day, just before nightfall, I accompanied my friend to an event attended by about 100 people. Cartoon-character balloons larger than buildings bobbed in the near distance and bright, flickering fluorescent lights illuminated deals of the century. The crowd mingled quietly. Toddlers and young children silhouetted their parents, who oddly seemed to bob like the enormous balloons.
My date was there to make an appearance and to see an old friend. I selfishly went to observe and to talk to the leopard.
At the time I arrived, the crowd was not showing much interest in the spotted leopard (Panthera pardus). I watched before I approached. He had three handlers who took turns holding his chained leash inside a cage.
I immediately noticed that the leopard, if he wanted to, could easily scale the 15-foot fencing and get away. I concluded that the cage was more to keep the humans spectators away. The handlers asked him to “sit,” “stay,” “stand on box,” and “beg.” Even I, a former animal trainer, thought, “How humiliating.”
The leopard was long, lean, and graceful. His walked with complete and utter awareness. When he was not putting on a show he watched the crowd with an acute eye. “What is he watching?” I thought. He stood up and sniffed, crouched down, peered into the crowd, and then lay down again, still watching. I too scrutinized the crowd, thinking, “What is he so intent on?” Then I noticed.
He was watching the children. He turned to me. “I can hear you in my head,” I whispered.
“Tell them my transport cage is slippery,” he said back. “My woman trainer. She knows more about me than the others. Will you tell her?” he asked. He huffed and continued watching the children.
I spoke to the handlers. They were open to my communications and generous with information. They spoke of working with exotics to educate the public. They said, “Most people think all big cats are lions.” I believed them. Their sense of mission was compelling, and their training methods were clearly humane.
But something didn’t sit right with me. I live with Maia, a wolf dog, who has been stuck between two very different worlds: domestic life and her wild instincts. Maia and the leopard are similar in their bodies. Both of them calmly survey the perimeter and notice every sound, smell, and movement.
“Thank you for restraining yourself and not going after the children,” I said to the leopard. “You noticed,” he answered. “Yes, and so do your handlers,” I replied. I took a breath and asked, “What is life like for you?”
The leopard got up and lay closer to me, but he still kept his eye on the crowd, “It feels like something is missing. Like I should be able to run faster and farther. It feels like I have muscles that are not used or developed. It feels like I should hunt down my own pray and that the food I eat should be my pick, not theirs. I also feel like I am missing something in my diet. If it was fresher maybe I would feel more satisfied.”
“How do you feel about your training?” I asked.
“It gives me something to do and something to focus on. I get bored easily. I feel like I live to fulfill a need in them. I love them. I see their kindness, but I feel like their prisoner.”
“What do you want to tell humans?” I questioned.
“Don’t take us from wild. We know what we are missing. We don’t like your noises. If you are going to keep us, give us a place where we hear natural noises only. So many of your sounds hurt us. If I had a choice, I would leave my human friends and live in the wild.”
Just as he spoke a car drove by and honked its horn.
