Imagine if you were an animal... Your feet touch the soft earth. The world is the same, but you are now different. Gone is the familiar sidewalk, the short trip to the market for food, the sounds and smells of your world.
Tilting your head skyward, your ears slowly follow the call of an eagle overhead. Your human form could not detect what you, the cougar, now hear clearly -- the crack of a twig, the movement of a deer in the forest.
Your heart begins to race, and your nostrils flare as you catch the scent of prey – the chance to eat and live for another day. In a heartbeat, the chase is on, as you chase your prey through the forest. Your feet tear into the soil, and claws scratch the hard rock, as powerful muscles drive you forward. Your long tail keeps you balanced as your body waves in and out of the thick trees.
You draw closer to your prey -- knowing that your life may hinge on the outcome of this chase. You can hear the rapid breath of your prey; you can smell its scent. The pulse of life pounds through you, senses alive, as all your efforts are focused on the chase. But as quickly as it began, it is over. You are swift, buy your prey also runs for its life. You have traveled countless miles, and not eaten for days.
