Pumas seem to treat a human standing upright as if he were a centaur, and logically conclude, "This is too much for me to handle". Bending over, though, reduces us in their eyes from a centaur to a whitetail...with a corresponding change in attitude.Akatsukamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02728195684558703059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-69121815739109244062016-05-07T12:12:38.534-05:002016-05-07T12:12:38.534-05:00“No!

Beautiful cat, typically bored with the whole "go pose for the people" act. You could see the panther's whole demeanor change when a child walked up to the cage. Suddenly, he got very interested. <br /><br />The handler would say, "he loves children - in the lunch sense". <br /><br />It seems all panthers prefer prey somewhat smaller than they are. Standard advise for hiking is to make yourself look bigger if a panther confronts you. As if you've got a chance when a panther is stalking you. <br /><br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-20725298591270643362016-05-07T08:15:12.154-05:002016-05-07T08:15:12.154-05:00YouTube is loaded with "cute" videos of ...YouTube is loaded with "cute" videos of toddlers at zoos where they are separated from large carnivores by a sheet of glass. The cats are very plainly doing their best to kill and eat the kids, but the kids (and some parents) look at it as an attempt to play. I don't think the correct or safest lesson is being taught here.RustyGunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607539523531544524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-49687329721357225922016-05-07T07:31:42.261-05:002016-05-07T07:31:42.261-05:00Hell I know for a fact the only reason my house-ca...Hell I know for a fact the only reason my house-cats haven't eaten me is the size difference.<br /><br />I'm still worried that one of them has some elaborate Rube Goldberg design planned to even the odds.Odysseushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16710666926746925370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-17720737830323174352016-05-07T05:32:05.416-05:002016-05-07T05:32:05.416-05:00Probably saw too many Disney cute cuddly animal mo...Probably saw too many Disney cute cuddly animal movies.
