Description Chenita, a female cougar (Puma concolor) at Jungle Cat World Zoo, shows her displeasure as I move in for a photograph. Unlike her mate Geronimo, Chenita is usually a bit skeptical of me. Fortunately, this was just a warning and she maintained a wary eye on me as I did my work around her enclosure.

Psst... shouldn't it be *Felis* concolor?

O.O Wow. Oops. I wonder if they changed it recently (ie: in the last 10 years or so) since the last time I remember feline taxonomy in class there were Felis sp, Pantera sp, and Cheetahs. I bow to your greater and more up-to-date knowledge.

No worries. I believe it was changed from Felis, but I'm not too sure when.

You also run this risk if you visit some areas of Thailand.

So moody!
An yet, I love how extreme the facial muscled on these big cats can be pulled. It's transformative!

Oh, so Geronimo's found himself a lady? Now that's something I've been truly waiting to hear. How do they get on with each other? I really do hope you're the only one she treats in such a way though. No offence. As for the photograph itself though, I am afraid I can't really say anything more than I usually do. It's stunning, as always - it feels great to see you're still around with us. And that you're getting used to your new gear, too!
