Apex Predator
This 3-year old Mountain Lion was found as a young cub, apparently abandoned and starving to death. Because he imprinted on humans at a young age and never learned the hunting skills necessary to survive in the wild, he is a permanent resident at the Sonoran Desert Museum in Tucson. There was no glass or fencing separating us, and when he looked me in the eye, I felt the small hairs on my neck move. What an amazing creature.
