Very cute. Yes, they are magical moments.
There is a zoo a mile from me and while I was walking around with the zookeeper, I spied an animal peering out at us from it's cubby hole. He said she was a Biturong (Bear Cat) but, she never came out during the day. I asked if I could sit there alone and talk to it and he said "Good luck". I started talking to her and she finally came out and looked me right in the eye. I said, "Hi, Baby". (animals love that) Then she just relaxed and started posing for me.
