And she is used to interacting with people.

Still, she's wild and wild things will do what they do and it ain't all warm and fuzzy.

The people seemed to enjoy it too. I would have enjoyed it - after my heart started beating again.

But she's still a wild animal and that needs to be considered.

Mountain lions are smaller than regular lions, they look more cat-like, and their tails are totally different.



But I wouldn't want either one sharing my tour bus.
