Met one near Mount Edith Cavell about 20 years ago. It is bear country--both black and grizzly--so I was having a look around to be cautious. Entered a meadow and this little guy came zooming up, hovered about five inches from my nose and gave me a once over. Then a twice over. He stayed about 12-15 seconds and then pulled the 'WTF was that'. It was a brief moment in the scale of things but it impressed me so much. I have laways loved seeing thos little guys.

Gnu, Spaw ain't the only one you got in tears. It is a beautifully-written piece of your heart on the page.
