Across the United States, in campgrounds and national parks, a strange phenomenon is occurring, the likes of which no one has ever experienced.(snip)

More aggressive as in bears, lions and tigers (like those that escaped from a zoo transport truck convoy) and a few other four-legged animals that frolic among the trees and rolling hills. We've all heard that "music soothes the savage beast", but no one's heard of a case where an opera CD is used as an actual testing ground for that legend. It appears that several park rangers are opera fans and have been listening to Paul Potts' debut album, "One Chance", while in their observation posts and towers. What they've observed is the usual migration pattern of the bears, for example, that normally would be directly in the path of "humans on vacation" are actually now heading toward the source of the music instead.

"It's rather odd and we are investigating this further to see if there's any validity to it and, if so, how we can leverage this to keep our furry friends calm", says Dr. Stelle Tramontate, veterinarian for the past thirty years and a retired park ranger. One incident, which occurred just last week, has had the Park Service scratching their collective heads. A ranger on an observation post, about ready to end his shift near sundown, was approached by a large black bear in a rather unusual manner. The ranger stood perfectly still, hoping the bear would just walk right on by and ignore him. Instead, the animal walked over to the open window of the ranger station, looked inside then sat down under the window sill as if lounging in a reclining chair about ready to have a refreshing beverage.

Out of the window, drifted the lyrical sounds of Paul Potts singing "Music of the Night" from "Phantom of the Opera". (snip)

Paul's got a marvelous voice... It sounds even better now than it did on the Britain's Got Talent program.
