And it is about the animals...if they want to,hide you don’t get to see them...animals so much less stressed here. I,lived for years in Tucson and visited often...I always visited the Museum. Watching it expand and grow decades was a privilege.

[@madhatter8512]

I seen one of those mountain lions just roaming on a mountain path here in Colorado it was just walking the trail it was amazing to see

[@OCRay1]

Mad Hatter That would be cool to see. Too bad for human animal killers though. The wild used to be absolutely loaded with animals doing their thing but because of pathetic hunters you are lucky to view an animal in a full day in the wild. Sad reality. Humans haven't needed hunters for more than a hundred years but they continue to kill everything that isn't human for the joy of it. I just wish people would ban the killing and destruction of any living thing or environment before it's all gone and we live in a purely human concrete jungle.

[@canadianiam]

Raymond Fee man you sound like youre 8

[@seal6012]

canadianiam No, you sound like you're eight. His comment was actually lengthy and full of good points and all you say is "wow dude u sound like ur 8."

[@bryanitza-chulopez1658]

@@seal6012 he's clueless. Most hunters consisted of native tribes who lived the hunter/gatherer lifestyle such as the Apache. They respected nature because of it's unforgiving environment and having to adapt to it. You truly won't revere nature until you've been exposed to it's elements. Hunters who live outdoors actually contribute more to the conservations and wildlife parks than hippy activists that litter.

[@777dark]

​@@bryanitza-chulopez1658 Exactly, HUNTERS are not the problem.They kill predatory animals only IF they are hunting something else and get attacked by them (defense in that case) or if they're hunting for some problematic man-eater. Mostly they stay for specific game (usually deer or such). As you said, the tribes treat nature with the absolute utmost respect (yeah they hunt for food but just as hunters deer and such). POACHERS are the problem, they illegally kill basically anything they can and of course sell their body parts on the black market.

[@RBproductions098]

That mountain lion looks fierce

[@reydejesus2539]

[@discontinuedchannel4544]

Arizona wildlife centers are amazing. They’re so clean, yet perfect conditions for the animals. The mountain lion always jumps up by the window, and watches his/her visitors. The animals all have such good reactions when getting fed or bathed. Definitely recommend going to Arizona centers.
