The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation recently posted a tweet that has captured the hearts and laughter of many online. The tweet reads, "YOU are cold. They have fur. Do not let inside." Accompanying the tweet is an adorable image of a cougar, also known as a mountain lion, lying playfully on its back in the snow. The cougar's fur, a mix of brown and white, is sprinkled with snowflakes, adding to its charming and content appearance.

This snapshot into the humorous side of wildlife conservation has sparked a variety of entertaining comments from social media users. One user humorously wrote, "Not gonna lie, if circumstances find me happening upon a puma cub who has lost its mother, I will get in a fist-fight with the entire state of Wisconsin if that's what it takes to save it." Another user quipped, "If not friend, then why friend shaped?"

The playful nature of the cougar in the image has led to affectionate remarks like "KITTY" and nostalgic stories of encounters with wild animals. For instance, one user shared, "My sister petted a bobcat kitten once. We were very lucky the mama wasn't around. Turns out a bobcat kitten is very similar to an adult bob-tailed house cat, but it becomes obvious when it hisses."

Some comments took a light-hearted jab at human interactions with cougars, with one user noting, "I mean, if you wanna pet a cougar, all you really gotta do is visit the right kinda bar around closing time..."

The tweet's humorous tone and relatable content have resonated with many, as evident from the engagement it has received. It has one reply, one retweet, and 19 likes, showing that sometimes, a simple and amusing message can go a long way in connecting with the public.

In a world where wildlife conservation is often a serious matter, the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation's tweet provides a refreshing and funny reminder of the beauty and playfulness of nature. The image of the content cougar in the snow serves as a delightful visual that complements the witty caption perfectly.

This tweet is a testament to how humor and wildlife can blend seamlessly, providing a moment of joy and laughter for everyone who comes across it.

I 100% leave nature the f*** alone. But for some f***ing reason I walk into my neglected wild excuse of a garden and suddenly it's like a 40s Disney Princess birds on one shoulder, butterflies on the other. I don't remember taking any levels in druid. In justwant my back door to not look like maleficent is trying to keep adventurers out.

#29 is actually a caracal, not a mountain lion. I love their tufted little ears

I know we need to be professional, sometimes, but I bloody love when companies aren't serious/don't care what they post and let loose.
