Even wild specimens display curiosity. I have documented that by animals fleeing and returning multiple times while photographing.

One incident I will always remember, a young male scooted off while I continued photographing a bigger female that didn't seem real bothered by my presence, within about 45 seconds, he returned, out in the open, when I pointed my camera his direction, he would again flee, only to show back up.

Apparently, that shiny thing had his curiosity going.
