Meet the Man who loves taking selfies with Animals

Allan Dixon travels around the world taking a very special kind of travel photo: adorable selfies with adorable animals from Australia to Ireland to the bottom of the deep blue sea.

The pictures show that the animals are also happy though sometimes befuddled -- to be sharing the limelight.

As an adventurer, Dixon is cautious: He sometimes spends hours hanging out with an animal and gaining its trust before snapping photos.

Travelers "should be very careful as to not upset or provoke the animal when they’re trying to take the photo,"

Dixon told Bored Panda. "Gain the animal’s trust in a calm relaxed manner, and the results will be golden."

Of course you should avoid approaching an animal you don't know to be friendly and keep your distance behind gates or other barriers when they're set up, National Geographic points out.

Practice respect, though, and nature will show you its good side, as Dixon can certainly attest.
