Encounters with animals have become the aspect that excites me most about traveling. Here is a verbatim account of some original incidents that happened to me in meeting animals.

In particular, the trips where I saw the most animals were to Australia and Tanzania. I later discovered that they are actually among the countries where this experience is most common. In this regard, this article is very comprehensive.

But now even in Italy and near population centers there are more and more animal sightings. And beyond some of the issues that I do not discuss, this in my opinion is very good news.

Please note the audio is in Italian.

There were also special experiences that I do not recount here, but discuss in the respective articles. For example, I cannot forget the one with donkeys in northern Cyprus and those with monkeys: tame in Gibraltar, friendly in Morocco, and aggressive in Cambodia.
