Flora and wildlife
In case you weren’t aware, the Rio Mora park is very rich in flora and fauna. You can find lots of different animals including mountain lions, just like the one in the photo, but also jackals and bison that roam freely in the high meadows, lakes and steep mountains surrounded by the Mora River which give the park its name.
