Cute report: Baby pumas at the zoo Ladies and gentlemen, this is Dakota, the cutest wittle mountain lion ever! Dakota, as you may know, is one of three baby pumas the zoo just adopted. He went on display Saturday, and yours truly was there on a fact-finding mission to see if this little tyke was cute enough to be the official Philadelphia Will Do mascot of the forseeable future. Well, really, I would have taken any of the pumas, but Dakota (the boy) was the only one nice enough to be up front for my viewing pleasure and not all the way in the back like those two girls, Sage and Cinnabar. Even female pumas reject me. Anyway, Dakota was nice and cute, and while he’s not a puppy, he’s currently the new mascot of Philadelphia Will Do. (His possible future competitor? The kitty who lives at The Foodery, the deli near my apartment. I’ve been scouting him out for a little bit.) There’s a few more photos of the three puma cubs over here. They’re also better, as my digital camera is from 2001, which means the instructions are written on parchment and it doesn’t take great photos anymore. Jan. 24: Yay! Puma kittens! |

When I heard there were baby pumas (aka cougars) at the Philadelphia Zoo, I thought, “Hot damn! I’ll write an oh-so-clever lead about how there finally actually are cougars in Philadelphia!”
