I still haven't been able to get to the Denver Zoo to take photographs this winter, and so have decided to post the above photograph that I took a year or so ago of a lion cub posing for the camera. At this age the animals are full of energy and very curious about you, and head right over to get a closer look. They are very cute at this age, which is why I imagine some people want to keep them as pets. Of course, once they get bigger, this becomes a problem. This is probably what happened to that guy in New York City, who was found with a fully grown lion (or was it a tiger?) in his studio apartment. What I want to know is what the neighbors thought of that? Is everyone in New York so blase that they don't even think twice about a lion living down the hall? Scary.
