There are dozens of stories from many peoples and religions which tell about peculiar figures (heremits, saints, ascetics, mystics) who were bond to wild animals. Even high quality the most ferocious ones never harm them. There is a kind of men and women who are able to communicate with Nature and animals. It must be because their great souls can connect with the deepest vibrations of Creation.
Those are the spiritual life's treasure.
