Marine life, up close

This is a bit off topic, but as one who enjoys the outdoors, note again this blog’s name, I know it is possible to get too close to nature and for nature to get too close to you. Fast-packing through various bear areas, with and without my dogs, one needs to be aware. Trail running in our local mountains has brought my dog and I up close to our local cougar a couple of times (we apparently only have one mountain lion now, he killed his mate and possibly all four of his cubs… not good for future breeding), as well as close (and friendly/neutral) encounters with coyote (near the end of a solo 20 mile run, on a misty hill top, I came across a coyote I’m sure I’ve seen many times; he gave me the right of way on the single track, trotting off to the side without any sign of being threatened by me). Anyways, with that in mind, there this video about nature getting to close to us…
