I can honestly say I’ve never been afraid of wildlife of any sort, but that’s probably at least in part because I’ve always frequented countries where the vast majority of wildlife is pretty harmless. Maybe if there were big hungry predators out there, or a plethora of poisonous spiders or snakes, I’d feel differently. Who knows!
On the other hand…
Yes absolutely. There is a part of me that is always on edge, looking and listening for the signs of human presence and when I detect it, I get out of the way as fast as possible. I have even ended up hiding in the bushes… at the risk of looking ridiculous if anyone ever spotted me. As I always have my camera with me, I can always pretend I was taking photos!
