🐱🎙️ In the 1960s, the #CIA launched "Acoustic Kitty," a project to turn house #cats into mobile eavesdropping devices.

They implanted tiny microphones and transmitters into the #felines, hoping they could sneak up on Soviet officials. The project was scrapped due to the cats' lack of interest.

Although pumas are shy animals and attacks on humans are very rare, when I was hiking in the mountains of Chile, I was afraid of encountering one. On a few occasions, I saw fresh tracks or heard their distinctive hiss. But I never came face to face with one... except at the Santiago Zoo, when I took this photo.
