Woodland creatures features – Part 1, originally uploaded by Thorsten Becker.
Here now carefully I approach
Treading lightly through tall grass
So that I may not encroach
May not get too close, trespass
Upon woodland creatures’ territory
Otherwise they may take flight
Before I can tell the story
Of their motions’ gentle stride

Note: Photo taken in the Tiergarten (animal garden) in Hanover, Germany where most of the animals run around free. The only fences are around the (fairly large) park and around certain enclosure to keep visitors at distance to some of the potentially dangerous animals (red deer, wild boars). The park is open every day from dawn to dusk, entrance is free, rules of conduct are posted at every entrance.
A detailed history, in German, can be found on Wikipedia. A brief history in English can be found here.
