Allan Dixon from Ireland, 29, has earned himself the title of a �real-life Dr. Dolittle� because of his ability to �talk� animals into posing for a selfie with him. The results are amazing. He seems to befriend any animal he meets! How does he do it?
�The main aim is to make them know that they are safe being around you. Get up close as you can, but slowly,� said Dixon. Dixon also advises to turn off the flash and any sounds on the camera, as well as to approach wild animals with a camera already in hand so that it looks like a part of your body.
�Once you�re in their presence for some time, they�ll usually come and check you out. There�s a fine line between curiosity and survival.� So far Dixon has taken selfies with 30 animal species while traveling the world, and his dream is to take one with a lion, though he fears it could be his last selfie ever.
