Fanlistings: Animals
Dolphins
I love the playfulness of dolphins and have no doubt of their intelligence. Although I'm not a huge fan of swimming myself, one of my dreams is to swim with dolphins one day.
Elephants
Everything that I have seen about elephants has convinced me that these creatures experience strong emotion. Stories of their powerful family bonds are very moving.
Otters
Otters were the main focus of my visit to Skye. They were being elusive, but I finally spotted one. Graceful and playful creatures
Snakes
Although snakes got a bad press in Jewish and Christian mythology, elsewhere they are symbols of wisdom, healing and renewal. The snake is also my sign in the Chinese zodiac :)
Eagles
Awe-inspiring birds, beautiful and powerful. Seeing a golden eagle was one of the highlights of my visit to Skye in 2004.
Puffins
My first close encounter with puffins was on Skomer island in Wales in spring 2005. Rather comical, and utterly adorable.
Owls
I love owls for their mystery as well as for their beauty. My favourites are the sleek barn owls.
