The Cougar Stare

The cougar is also known as the mountain lion, puma and panther. It is one of only three wild cats native to Canada.
Taken at the Toronto Zoo, but had a hard time managing the shot through the fence at full zoom.
(as a side note):
I should mention, that though they are in a zoo, their enclosure is huge...with lots of room to roam, trees, boulders and hills to climb.


other sizes: small medium original auto

Wonderful eye contact, Carol, with this beautiful animal. I know that enclosure, and it's a terrific place for these animals. After all, it's the Toronto Zoo! Vote

Such beautiful animals. Makes you want to stroke him.
I've only seen one crossing a street here and
I've lived here for 36 years.

Lovely shot, Carol. They are magnificent creatures but I wouldn't want to
meet one in the wild. :)

These animals are so beautiful and this photo is a good example of that. Too bad the poor thing has to be caged but a good thing for you to get the shot.
