Dian Fosseys childhood was marked by a strong connection to nature and wildlife. Born in San Francisco in 1932 her family moved to the rural countryside of the Pacific Northwest when she was 6 years old. She spent her childhood immersed in nature exploring the outdoors and caring for animals. This included tending to a menagerie of pets including:
- A horse named Lady
- A goat named Kidsie
- A raccoon named Whiskey
- A skunk named Putter
- A crow named Pete
- A raven named Whisky Jack
In addition to her love of animals Fossey was an avid reader and especially enjoyed books about nature. She also wrote stories and poetry and was a talented artist specializing in drawing animals. Her deep connection to the natural world stayed with her throughout her life and eventually led her to pursue a career studying gorillas in the wild.
