Experiencing Nature up Close

Looking to commune with nature this year?  Hoping for some quality time with the lions and tigers and bears?  Well, here’s your chance to play Grizzly Man but without, hopefully, the same tragic demise.

Our friends over at The Independent have just published a Ten Best list for Close Encounters with Natural Wonders.  They provide us with details on how to hang with pandas in China, fraternize with bats in Romania, keep a safe distance from polar bears in the Svalbard archipelago (Norway), stalk snow leopards in India, and howl at the moon with grey wolves in Yellowstone. 

The article also lists a few less exciting natural wonder opportunities such as bird watching in the Outer Hebrides and counting badger poop and deer dung in Oxfordshire’s Wytham Woods—not exactly up my alley, but at least I won’t get eaten by a bear.
