Where's Waldo?

 Can you find the Mountain Lion in this photo?

Look carefully at this picture and see if you can locate the mountain lion. He or she is looking straight at the camera:

Mountain lions, which are also called cougars, live throughout the western half of the United States and range from about 100 to 180 pounds, meaning they are large and potentially dangerous animals. the cougar in the picture is hard to see because it is pretty much the same color as the grass, rocks and snow. This provides the perfect disguise as the big cat waits silently to ambush its prey. It is very rare that the prey for cougars is a human, in 100 years there have only been a dozen fatal attacks, but it does occur. Due to their large size and weight, an adult cougar can take down a human and usually attempts to bite a human or other creature's neck. However, cougar attacks are very rare. It is interesting how much cougars resemble common house cats. They are attractive animals and despite their fearsome reputation, they are interesting and very rarely seen in the wild. Fortunately cougars are not on the endangered animal list. See the articles below to learn more:
