Mod Dev Note: 



In real life PLEASE be aware of your surroundings and keep safe distance when hiking especially around wildlife when exploring the wilderness.  Especially for big predators, hazardous terrain or dangerous situations can get you hurt, the world isn't like minecraft. Please don't collect flowers, animals or rocks in protected habitat in real life either. Nature needs to be preserved & protected! :)
