The cougar is lying around in a relaxed, enjoyable position. I just wish the rude slang woman for a woman who seeks romance with young men wasn't "cougar"!
When I was last on Vancouver Island we walked on a trail where there were notices that cougars were present. I was hoping we’d catch a glimpse of one, while simultaneously hoping that we wouldn’t!
I love this exhibit. In the Pacific Northwest, US anyway, these magnificent animals are usually called 'mountain lions' and we've been lucky enough to have seen two of them in the wild (and luckily from a safe distance.) However, the mascot for Bill's alma mater is the W(ashington) SU "cougar". In Florida these same animals are called "panthers" -- we've never seen one in the wild although there are road signs on the way to the Everglades that say "panther crossing".

ReplyDeleteWe can see bears.

ReplyDeleteEasiest thing to remember- that's just a story.
