Observation and photo by Ren Spautz
This cat entered my camp in site 1 at the Grass Shack. It was an almost 15 minute encounter. Weirdly I once posted a thread in the forum about seeing a cougar and not being able to get a picture. I got more than I bargained for for sure. I definitely made the NPS Rangers morning very exciting and gave them five minutes of hair-raising video.
An adult female was drinking with two almost grown cubs at my pond.
This little individual was almost stepped on. It was in the middle of the sidewalk in front of Splash Mountain. I moved it into the bushes.

3mm length. Translucent, with dark spots.
Observado en las afueras de la Villa de Xpujil y reportado a la CONANP/RBC. Después de ser capturado se traslado al CIVS de San Bartolomé en la Ciudad de Tekax en Yucatán.
Found at 10pm 12m up a tree. Stayed there for an hour or so until we left.
Re-growth from fire.
This male mountain lion - a migrant from South Dakota - was infamously struck 41-miles east of Greenwich, CT. This was the first verifiable documentation of a cougar in Connecticut since the 1890s. The attributed location and time is from where it was struck by a car. There is no breeding population of cougars in New England, though they historically occupied every continental US state.

While investigating snow leopard kill sites, we (@otocolobus) encountered two ~5 week old cubs at a secondary den site. Cubs were well hidden in a rock hollow beneath an overhanging Lonicera shrub.
Wonderful to stumble upon concrete signs of successful reproduction springing from Kyrgyzstan's continued commitment to meaningful snow leopard conservation.
I thought that this hummingbird had decorated its nest with pieces of yarn until I saw it picking dead leaves from a lavender plant below the nest.
I wasn't really observing at the moment, but this Bobcat walked across my backyard and I had to get a shot. This was my first time seeing a Bobcat! Very exciting moment for me.
