As a kid I absolutely loved books on nature and animals and had an encyclopedic knowledge of the subject. I was taken to the zoo several times a year, was always drawing animals and trying to adopt cats, dogs, bees, birds, rabbits.... Anything.
I joined the military and now have zero interest in animals 😀
