yes I've heard animals can pick up the smell of fear. however these men were told what might happen; I noticed there was a man standing off with a gun to one side, probably just a tranquilizer gun.
just in case. the fact is they were willing to risk getting hurt anyway because of love. the pivotal moment is when the animal is "remembering." he's just staring. his instincts perfectly controlled as he remembers their scent. I teared up too Justin.
the love between animal and man is just incredible to see.
I have another inspiring u-tube here...like to laugh? like to make it a small world after all? this one is a showstopper too.
it's called where the hell is Matt? this funny guy danced his way around the entire planet.
