Question: Why are there some places in the world where animals are completely calm around humans, even in the wild?

They could be used to seeing humans more and knowing that they won’t hurt them. I’m not sure if wild animals are calm around humans, animals can be very unpredictable therefore i would never trust them

I don’t think so. There are obviously animals which have been trained..like in thailand they train the elephants andI think they are calm around humans…and animals in zoos tend to be aswell..but i doubt there are whole areas in the world where all animals are calm around humans if they are in the wild. They would not interact with humans so when they see them they amy think they are a threat and then they definitely wouldn’t be calm!

I saw a documentary about wildlife in papua New Guinea- some of the animals in the rain forest were not scared of humans as no people lived in the rain forest so the animals had never had to escape from hunters before.
