Need pics of Black (melanistic) Leopard/Cougar
I won't make this long. Will post details in the Photo forum but if anyone can guide me to some pics of either species, I'd appreciate it. A local artist/friend wants to do a painting.
Thank you,
David

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."
