This image was rejected for "Intellectual Property Refusal", can someone tell me why this would be considered someone else's intellectual property? Thanks so much.

Probably because the cougar/lion? belongs to a zoo? (I don't suppose it is yours)? or a park, or is it taxidermy? In this case it would belong to the owner of the display/property etc, ( a bit hard to tell from this image) so you would need a release or something like that.

Where did you take this?

The photo of this lady lion can be identified because of a particular pattern in the ears. So, who owns the animal or display area where she was photographed? Permission might be required even if she is in a zoo. Do a bit of research on this beauty then conform to Adobe rules if you can - get the release - or take down the submission. Nice shot. JH

Thank you so much for your insight... Yes, this was taken in a museum and is a taxidermy. Now that makes sense! hahaa I so appreciate both your time and effort in answering me Joanh and Ricky336!
