Wild Thing, I Think I Love You!
Close Encounters with Wildlife Around the World
Wild Thing, I Think I Love You! is a journey into the complicated, surprising, and often intimate connections between humans and wild animals. From close encounters in the field to quieter moments of recognition, these essays explore what draws us to the wild—and what happens when habitat recedes.
- Hunt for renegade she-lizards in the Chiricahua Wilderness
- Learn about the “Dogs Saving Cats” program to help save cheetahs
- Track Namibia’s rare black rhino—and learn why “dehorning” backfired
By turns curious, funny, and deeply felt, Wild Thing, I Think I Love You! explores connection, responsibility, and the enduring allure of the wild.
