There were a couple of black bears; and you know when there are a COUPLE of black bears there will also be some cubs. Harry and I got to see the cubs from a distance, but not close enough to get any good pictures.
Grandfather Mountain also has an injured Bald Eagle rescue area. This Bald Eagle had been shot and was now unable to fly. I thought the lady that was next to us while looking at the eagle had an interesting idea to keep the eagle in the cage... chain it down! What a great way to treat an endangered species! (Some people are just idiots but I'm so glad that the idiots are loud so we can make fun of them.)
Grandfather Mountain also has a cougar rescue (and yes, cougars do live wild on the mountain).
Harry and I loved this sign. We were wondering... who yells at cougars; and, what do you yell at a cougar? For the rest of the day Harry and I kept yelling at the wild cougars, since there were no signs telling us not to. "HEY COUGAR, YOU KNOW WHO SUCKS? YOU DO!"
Check back tomorrow to see the death defying photos of Harry and I on the mile high swinging bridge (ok, there are no pictures of us ON the bridge because the wind was too strong, but you'll get the idea).
