"That's all; I just want to touch you." This charming picture most likely catches a loving or inquisitive moment between animals, maybe of different kinds. The picture can depict one animal frozen in a move that is almost human in its softness reaching out towards another. This picture especially unique as such interactions in the wild are infrequent and transient. The photographer's timing and patience have produced a shot that anthropomorphizes the animals and assigns human-like motives to their behaviour. This picture might show a baby animal investigating its surroundings, two animals developing an uncommon connection, or even a predator approaching its prey with odd reluctance. Whatever the real setting, the picture and its message combine to tell a story that speaks to human feelings and reminds us of the intricate social interactions and actions among animals.
