Here are a few shots of a Puma (aka mountain lion, panther or indeed cougar) taken at the Cat Survival Trust in Hertfordshire.  This unique and stunning looking specimen is the second largest cat in North America with the largest being  the Jaguar.  Amazingly, for such a large cat the puma cannot roar, instead it growls, purrs and hisses just like a domestic cat.

Gone Fishing

At this time of the year it is crucial for the puffin to regularly go fishing in order to collect as many sand eels, herring or sprats to ensure the survival of their demanding and hungry pufflings.  These shots were taken on inner Farne and as you can see the bigger beakful of fish the better.
