Speaking of Cougars at Karaoke
evelynne came to the zoo with me and the kids this Saturday. She's got all the good pictures, and I'll probably edit with one or two of them. But that's not really the point. She made a comment that struck me.
"The zoo can be a little depressing when you read the blurbs about how this animal or that slug is about to go extinct in the wild."
"Yes," I sagely replied, "When you go through the cat exhibit, it's all about how lions are killed, there are two leopards left in all of russia, and tigers are ground up into aphrodesiacs. And then you get to the puma exhibit, and they want you to take one home, there're so many of the freaking things."
If you'd like to learn more about the Puma/cougar/mountain lion, consult your local Wikipedia!
