This animals are absolutly not afraid. I'm just sitting on the backyard balcony and I suddenly hear a noise. A squirrel just about 1 meter from meis bitting on the wooden floor. I was kind of afraid not knowing if the maybe attack humans... Bitting them maybe! But the way it looked i supposed it was even more afraid I believe.
As Mehdi told me: In Canada they have a very close contact to animals and nature ;o)
