Ready To Pounce

Young Mtn lion at The Living Desert, out side of Palm Springs, ca.
This cat would track everyone that went past it's enclosure, if it thought that it could take you, it would crouch down, do the little butt wiggle, jump out and come right at you. Some times it would jump at the glass, some time veer off and run around it's enclosure at top speed and then go back to it's hiding spot and repeat. Before I have someone come at me and say how horrible this is, I would like to say that this was a young cat, it was not stressed, the enclosure was beautiful, big, clean and had lots for enrichment toys. It's just that this cat found something better to play with, people.
