My first reaction to seeing this was almost sheer panic (in a fun way). I think if I saw one of those up close I'd lose it! Your explanation of how she lives, and how she's just lost, immediately melted my heart and made me see her as a fellow creature just trying to survive, but screwing up along the way, a story we all share.

Thank you for the insight. She is a magnificent creature and deserves to be understood rather than squished.
