Great photos, I never tire of watching animals, its just a shame when most of them look at us, and think either trouble or food.

Aw look at that little baby cougar. He'd bite off your fingers if he could and have them for a snack. Little cutie!

I love this section of the Huffpo. It's now the first thing I look for. Not only is it filled with amazing photos, it is a potent reminder that humans are just one part of nature's delicate ecosystem. Big Business would rather we forget this part. But if we do, we won't have much of planet left for our grandchildren.
