I'm trapped in a Zoo! :(

My first day in the National Zoo was rough, I can no longer run around, hide or hunt in the forest I once knew. Now as you can see I sit on this table yearning to go back to the wild and to be free of these steel metal bars. Now I wait until the humans bring me my meals and one thing I truly enjoy is hunting the snowshoe hare and devouring them with my claws and teeth.

Once I was moved to this horrid zoo they tried to keep me in an indoors unable to run free and as the Zoo keeper watched me over a few days, he noticed that I have become luthargic. Remaining in an indoor hot climate is fatal to my existence. Then they tried changing my habit to a more open outdoor area and soon my spirits came back and I was able to function correctly again.

Though they kept me incaged away from my normal surrounds the Zoo keepers kept my diet the same by suppliing me with rabbits, hares and ground birds. I am not picking so I eat anything that can be caught on the ground except porcupines which would indeed hurt my mouth and I was have many undesirable cuts.
