Description

A rescued female Cougar (Puma concolor) at an animal sanctuary in Cuzco, Peru. It was being used as an attraction at a disco, along with another female, having been sold by a circus which went out of business. Lately, it's happened to many circuses in Peru, since people no longer have much interest for them. The government allows them to keep animals though, leading to tragedies such as this.
These animals have a body length usually between 1.5 and 2.75 metres (4.9 to 9.0 feet) and may weigh up to 100 kilograms (220 pounds), with males being significantly bigger.
Sadly the quality isn't as good as I'd like... The light was dim (almost dusk then) and I had to throw my ISO waaay up there.
Canon 7D.
