Mountain Lion
Have you ever seen one of these fellows up close?

They are quite impressive. The small zoo on Grandfather Mountain in Linville, NC always has a few on hand. You can get pretty close to them -- and by "pretty close," I mean about 20 feet above them. You can see their massive claws pretty well, and the ones at Grandfather Mountain are quite playful.
It's very entertaining to see them playing with a giant ball, but I'll tell you, those zoo handlers INSIDE the enclosed area sure look nervous...

I saw one loose once; watched it take a rabbit. It was awesome!

A dream of mine is to skritch a mountain lion and live to tell the tale. They are such beautiful, majestic creatures.

Yes, I have stroked the head of one which was born in captivity. Not exactly as familiar as skritching, though, and I was very respectful of her wishes in the matter!
