do they go to the zoo? . . . supposibly
The NC Zoo is in Asheboro - pretty close to my parents' house. On Sabbath, we packed in my car with a picnic supper and went to visit some animals (as if there weren't enough at home).

fennec - notice the ears look a lot like Weezer's
funhouse mirrors?
Lowland gorilla
arctic fox - if you've seen Planet Earth, you saw one of these stealing goose eggs and goslings
the laziest polar bear ever
puma, catamount, mountain lion, cougar, panther, painter, mountain screamer . . . you pick

As with many predators, a Cougar may attack if cornered, if a fleeing human being stimulates its instinct to chase, or if a person "plays dead". Exaggerating the threat to the animal through intense eye contact, loud but calm shouting, and any other action to appear larger and more menacing, may make the animal retreat. Fighting back with sticks and rocks, or even bare hands, is often effective in spurring an attacking Cougar to disengage.
Children are at greatest risk of attack, and least likely to survive an encounter. Detailed research into attacks prior to 1991 showed that 64% of all victims – and almost all fatalities – were children. The same study showed the highest proportion of attacks to have occurred in British Columbia, particularly on Vancouver Island where Cougar populations are especially dense."
