Wild Animals I Have Known is an influential 1898 book by Ernest Thompson Seton, pioneering realistic animal fiction by telling true stories of individual wild animals like the wolf Lobo, the crow Silverspot, and the rabbit Raggylug, blending scientific observation with narrative to portray them as complex beings, which became a classic in children's literature and nature writing. The book, illustrated by Seton himself, emphasizes the personality and individual life of each creature, often with tragic endings, and was a major success despite later controversy over "nature faking".
