Today I found Gigi in a calm place.

She made eye contact. I politely looked away.

Direct eye-contact is impolite for most animals (it's seen as aggressive, predatory, or a challenge).

What animals are cool with you looking in their eyes?

Can't think of any of the top of my head. I said "most" in case there was some exception I wasn't aware of. You can't really look "in" the eyes of a lot of prey animals due to their placement on the sides of their heads, but they are definitely aware that they are being looked at.
