Video: Windwalkers Purr
For those of you who never had the chance to hear a cougar purr. . . here is the sound of a happy cougar. Jean put the tape recorder right up against Windwalker as he held and petted him. We all know that cougars can be dangerous, but that is the only side of them that is usually portrayed. They can also be remarkably loving.
This recording was inspired by Bernie Krause and facilitated by Volker Widman, a Sounds of Nature workshop participant.

I remember this as an amazing moment standing in front of the enclosure and watching the intense relationship between Jean and Windwalker…and the purr. Thanks a lot for a great time at your place and thanks for using my pic!
