Geronimo, a male cougar (Puma concolor) at Jungle Cat World, unleashes his fury (and his claws) on a pumpkin I put in his enclosure. Unlike some of the other cats, he was quite willing to immediately launch an attack. He used his claws and teeth like a champ, indicative of how a growing wild cougar would develop hunting skills against defenseless inanimate objects.

How old is Geronimo? I'm startled at how blue his eyes still are. (the close up photo of him after the pumpkin slaughter was stunning)

Great capture :) Cougars are very beautiful animals but you don't want to come too close to one.
