Emporia Zoo sign

The Emporia Zoo is in Soden's Grove Park on the south end of town, just before Kansas Highway 99 jumps the Cottonwood River.

Usually the mountain lion rests in its cave, but this particular morning it is out for a walk. Well, the lion is not exactly out, but as out as it ever gets. mountain lion
