I took this photo at Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina...not far form where I live. I learned today that the folks at Grandfather mountain had to put down one of their cougers, just 6 days after I took this shot, because of kidney failure. She was 16 (in the wild they live 10-12 years).

Sadly, it might have been. This isn't a young cat.
