Appropriate icon is appropriate! (I patterned Suriel's markings loosely around a monochrome mountain lion.)
She is BEAUTIFUL -- yes, I winced at the tooth, too, but I'm glad that it probably didn't cause her too much pain, if there was no bone erosion. And it looks smoothed-off and not jagged, so I'll bet it had been that way for a while, and she just kept on living her life.
I love her, and I'm so happy that you have her! (I adore mountain lions, too!) Thank you for sharing her! ^___^
I *must* see the liger skull cast -- they're the closest we'll get to seeing a cave lion or sabertooth in our era!
P.S. You might enjoy the cover image, and some of the other pieces of art, on my desperately-needs-to-be-updated-because-it's-basically-an-archive-at-this-point website :)
I love your Little Red poem. And it opens with the same words as Depeche Mode's Stripped, which is A) one of my favorite songs ever and B) rather appropriate. (And there the resemblance ends, obviously, but it's a neat mental parallel.)
Eeeee, thank you so much!! (And I am a RIDICULOUS Depeche Mode fan, and it delights me that you love that song as much as I do!!)
Here, I'll give you a present -- I'd had a rough idea of creating a series of fairytale/mythic poems with appropriate botanical names (thus "Paperwhite," "Ladyslipper," etc.), and this was the one for "Wolfsbane," which never made it onto the site because I need to re-learn how to use a web-design FTP program that is many generations beyond the one that I built it with. It's one of those things that I'll get to when I have the spoons to spare -- but, in the meanwhile, here is one that only a couple of people have ever seen, and I think it's perfect to share with you . . .
I actually have a bear! She's not very big, just a little black bear, but she's very cool! I should get pics. From certain angles, because of the back teeth and cheekbones and forward-facing eyes, she looks weirdly human.
Male cougars must be . . . I mean, seriously, BALLS OF BRASS. Because any animal that hears THAT and says to itself "Yeah, hear that? UH-HUH! I WANNA FUCK IT!" is an animal with nerves of steel.
Last night, what with all the colors from the radar and all the colored borders for the flood, worse flood, storm, worse storm, maybe tornados, definitely tornados, and just general disagreeability warnings, it looked like someone had barfed Skittles all over the map.

It's a really unnerving sound.

At least in humans, mucus has it's own separate immune system: http://www.gizmag.com/mucus-new-human-immune-system/27658/
