Still Hunt, a crouching panther waiting to pounce
Still Hunt, a crouching panther waiting to pounce. Central Park New York City.
Still Hunt, a crouching panther waiting to pounce, was created by Edward Kemeys, the American sculptor who also created the Hudson Bay wolves at the Philadephia Zoo, and lions at the entrance to the Art Institute of Chicago.

Displayed on a rock outcrop on the west side of the East Drive at the edge of the Ramble, the crouching animal has scared many joggers as they approach this life-size and realistic representation this reporter included. Unlike the traditional sculptures of other animals in the Park that sit on a base or pedestal, Kemeys placed his animal directly atop the ledge of rock. Kemeys was so interested in depicting his animals in a realistic mode that he traveled to the western states to see them in their native habitat.
