About #2183: the lioness enters into the cage by running, the tiger (or tigress) by slowly walking.

“The University of North Alabama boasts the only live Lion mascot in the country living on a college campus. Leo III, born on November 18, 2002, resides on the UNA campus in the 12,764 square-foot George H. Carroll Lion Habitat and carries on a tradition that has covered more than 40 years.
His sister Una, passed away earlier this year after also serving as a mascot at UNA since 2002.
On July 22, 1974, former UNA president Dr. Robert M. Guillot brought a 35-pound lion cub to the campus and Leo spent the next 14 years “roaring” the school to victory. The original Leo died on Jan. 20, 1988, and a great outpouring of support from the Shoals community resulted in Leo II being brought to UNA in July of 1988.
Leo II lived in the compound that once housed the original Leo and grew to a weight of more than 600 pounds at eleven years of age. In 1997, Leo II was selected as the nation's "Second Best Mascot" by Sports Illustrated. He died in February of 2000.
Approaching his 18th birthday, Leo III is exhibited seven days a week from approximately 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. (weather conditions permitting).
In 2012 Leo III and UNA were ranked No. 1 of the 25 Best Real Animal Mascots in College Football by totalprosports.com. UNA was the only non-Division I institution to make the list, joining the company of competitive NCAA teams such as the Baylor Bears, LSU Tigers and Texas Longhorns.
All funds associated with the care and feeding of Leo III and UNA, the operation of their habitat, and the conduct of a related educational program are funded exclusively by charitable contributions.”

Somehow I found this image really disturbing, as I can't see the eyes clearly and is really creppy.
It is like to see a Xenomorph (Alien creature), it is scary.

An interesting picture, which has caused some online confusion as to whether this is a leopard or a jaguar:
*This image is copyright of its original author
https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/vh1qtq/oc_i_went_to_the_zoo_today_and_saw_a_beautiful/
Commentary from the original poster:
Quote:It is indeed a leopard.
The exhibit was for leopards and the zoo handler who was providing knowledge on these animals said most people will confuse a juvenile leopard for a jaguar and vice versa. When the cubs are around this age, their spots are starting to develop and a jaguar (when fully mature) will have a tan dot with a black outline and a bold black dot in the middle. If you look at the spots on her back, you’ll notice their are some spots that look exactly like this but that’s because she is still growing and as she matures that large black dot in the center will get smaller and smaller and in some cases will almost seem to disappear.
Another way to distinguish is her face. She has a more rounded face as a jaguar cub will have a more boxy shape to their face until they mature and it takes a more rounded shape.
Lastly, it is not uncommon for leopards to have bright colored eyes when in youth and as they mature the color will become more dull and for most, will eventually turn into a yellow, brown and amber color to blend in with their natural habitat.
If only the zoo handler could see me now, dispensing the knowledge I’ve learned.
