Beautiful Shot but I hope to never cross one in the wild! I heard a cub crying out for its mother or hunting at my grandma's house late one night. Talk about an eerie sound that I never want to hear again. Supposedly they were extinct in the Adirondacks! DEC had to fess up after denying for years their exhistance despite sightings, until two were killed with DEC tatoos in their mouths. One was hit by car in my husband's hometown! They were released to kill the coyote population explosion! These predators are even more dangerous than the coyotes and have no fear of man! The Utica zoo where I interned have these Puma, lynx, Mountain Lions too. They are not handled unless heavily sedated and are fed with a very long pole through two layers of caging. Despite how dangerous they are I do admit these animals are magnificent to see!
