At first thought Mr. Peterson comes to the conclusion that an elk finding a shelter like this, is merely a cross between luck and instinct. As the storm goes on though, thoughts continue to arise.

While most children sing along and enjoy the entertainment, most adults find it mildly entertaining and somewhat foolish. Maybe though, adults are the foolish ones. Animals might know more then we think. While they do not talk about saving the world in English, like they do in the movies, animals do communicate. Communication is the first sign any kind of knowledge animals might show.
