At times, when 20 vehicles are trying to crowd around a cheetah in the sun it feels odd partly due to the cheetah’s indifference and the crowd’s thirst to watch its every action, but if this strange relationship is what maintains this place so these organisms can exist within the world of Homo economesis than so be it. This is not to make it sound like this is some sort to zoo carved by roads. A good majority of the space has no roads, so animals can find places where they need not interact with humans.

I sometimes wonder if the animals have stories that map the changes of humans; imagine the stories elephants may have of the omnivorous naked primate that once ran the plains and now only can be found on the wide and worn dirt paths in the belly of awkward aluminum beasts that...
