GALLERY 20: Cougar
As with wolves, it is very difficult to make close up images of large cats in the wild. This is due their low numbers, secretive habits, and generalized fear of humans. I hope to one day spot a Cougar in the wild but so far I have not had that opportunity. I have the upmost admiration and respect for those with sufficient time and the required field skills to make images of large cats in the wild. As is the case with the majority of cougar images appearing in print, these photographs, however, are of model animals. Cougars are also called Mountain Lions or Puma.
