Description
The mountain lion, otherwise known as the cougar, puma, or catamount, is the mascot of the Arizona Sonoran Desert Museum near Tucson, Arizona. The magnificent cat here is in reality a resident of the Arizona Sonoran Desert Museum near Tucson, Arizona. Normally nocturnal, this big guy is warming himself on the rocks during a cool spring afternoon. I have seen them in the wild, but the only time my camera was close at hand I thought for a moment I might use it with the tripod as a club.
How do you tell the difference between a bobcat on your roof, and a mountain lion? The bobcat makes a pitter-patter-pitter-patter-pat-pat-pat-pat noise...The mountain lion makes a distinctive thumpety-thumpety-thump-thump-thump-thump sound. My poor cat couldn't figure out where in the house to hide!

Douglas! You gotta give a gal some warning -- I about choked on my coffee when I read your comment! That cracked me up. Thanks for the morning chuckle. OK, I'll allow that I was referring to both of you (with a slight edge going to the mountain lion...). 😉
Douglas Taylor replied:
Yea, I kinda figured the big cat would be further up the food chain than me...:)

What a handsome fella. Love these magnificent creatures. Wonderful image, Douglas! Featured in American Desert Southwest.
Douglas Taylor replied:
Oh, Jane! What a wonderful compliment! Wait, you were talking about the mountain lion, weren't you...LOL. Yes, they are remarkably regal and graceful creatures, even if they are still noisy when they are on my roof.
