A few months ago, I was coming home on a country road that leads to the suburbs in Niagara Falls.
It was about 3:00am, pretty cold, and what do I see? A mountain lion (also called cougars or pumas) that had just crossed the road in front of me.
It was on the left side of the road on the shoulder going into the brush. I happened to be on the phone with a friend and told them what was going on.
The big cat just looked over it’s shoulder at me as I drove past it slowly.

I just found out that one of my newest friends, Dani, had a Canadian Lynx as a pet…Not only that, it was an indoor cat!
I asked her to fill us in on having a Canadian Lynx as a pet.
This is her account:

I was unaware of the intense problems that occur when hybridizing lions and tigers.

Spread the word, this post and the video above to others to educate them about this issue [ ... ]

A little background:
I realize this video has no sound, but it is certainly not even needed! This video is of a lion named Christian. Apparently, he was rescued by these two men, and then set free back into the wild. This is a reunion 1 year after his release.

Amazon Rainforest Animals by Lucien Oliveira
Most of the world’s rainforests are located in Central and South America, West and Central Africa, and Southeast Asia. They are very wet areas near the equator that give true meaning to the expression “world of abundance”, an expression that reflects on the variety of rainforest animals. Brazil holds 30% of all tropical rainforests that remain on Earth, and they are represented by Amazonia.
