A beautiful cougar lays, gazing in my direction with its big, green eyes. It's like she's asking me to come in for dinner: I politely declined. I'm captivated by her spots, that start at the nose and end of it's limbs, they get larger as the progress into the body. She's laying in front of a tortoise.

I'm not really in favor of Zoos, but the outdoor, Amaru Bioparque Cuenca covers a mountain top with very large enclosures / habitats for its residents. The facility provide a good representation of Ecuador's biodiversity (in their native habitats), which I'm told is the largest in the World.
