Whenever I visit the UK, I am invariably asked about my experiences with large animals. Bears, moose, puma, wolves – they’re all a source of curiosity to enquirers from a land where the largest wild land mammal most people will ever see is a Fox. I welcome such opportunities to talk of North America’s charismatic megafauna, of course, as it gives me the chance to in turn learn more about how the British people see the wildlife of their own land.
