That was one of the interesting things -- both seemed completely oblivious to any of the humans around, some of which were watching their little show and others who were just going about their business.Maybe they were both wary of the human watching them?![]()
But then there's a lot of wildlife around here, particularly deer and rabbits (at least that you see the most) and none of them are particularly concerned about humans. Most of the deer won't even do more than casually glance at you until you get within about twenty feet or so, at which point they will then focus on you. But even then they usually won't actually move away until you get to within about fifteen feet and they don't run off, they just wander the other direction. The rabbits are even worse. They won't pay you any attention until you get within about five feet, at which point they will hop ten to twenty feet away and carry on.
Even when we get a mountain lion down here (which happens once or twice a year) they usually just walk around up on the hill behind campus and watch what's going on. Fortunately, as far as I know, know one has been stupid enough to see how close they can get to the kitty and they stay well enough out of the way that you don't have to go anywhere near them to get to where you are going -- not so with the deer and rabbits.
