Thank you, Sabine and Ingwe.  I had a quiet but fun and happy birthday.  It was made better by the Africammies and the two elephant sightings (brief as they were).

African lions: 

Size: 48 inches high

Weight: 330 to 500 pounds

Now I'm learning something here -- mountain lions or cougars, are the largest of the small cats.  They cannot roar.  I didn't realize they are so much smaller than African lions, about half the size and weight.  They are compared to leopards.  From Wikipedia:

Cougars are slender and agile cats. Adults stand about 60 to 76 cm (2.0 to 2.5 ft) tall at the shoulders. The length of adult males is around 2.4 m (8 ft) long nose to tail.

Males have an average weight of about 53 to 72 kilograms (115 to 160 pounds). In rare cases, some may reach over 118 kg (260 lb). Female average weight is between 34 and 48 kg (75 and 105 lb).Cougar size is smallest close to the equator, and larger towards the poles.   It also says that proportionally, they have the largest hind legs. 

An exceptional vertical leap of 5.4 m (18 ft) is reported for the cougar.  Horizontal jumping capability is suggested anywhere from 6 to 12 m (20 to 40 ft).  The cougar can run as fast as 55 km/h (35 mph), but is best adapted for short, powerful sprints rather than long chases. It is adept at climbing, which allows it to evade canine competitors. Although it is not strongly associated with water, it can swim.

Geschu, she's a beauty, even if she doesn't want her picture taken!  Thank you so much.  I must find out if she's bigger than an American mountain lion and how much bigger.

Thank you again, everyone.  Have to go look to see if my elephant sighting request was answered.  If not, I'm sure they'll be coming along soon.  After all, it's my birthday and they know how much I luv them.
