Dressel admitted that he had been following this technique for some time now. He explained, “I just think that they have the most basic form of movement.” He added that the posture and movements of animals are very carefree and relaxed. This helps them in making their way with ease. “If you watch an animal, there is no thought process behind it, it’s just all instinct”, Dressel added.
