#29172 — Mac OS X's big cat names' desktop wallpapers?

Hello.

I noticed Mac OS X 10.7.x (aka Lion) has a lion wallpaper, but Mac OS X 
10.8 does not have a Mountain Lion. I don't remember earlier versions 
(e.g., 10.2.x) having their big cat names for their desktop wallpapers.

Shouldn't Apple be including wallpapers based on their big cat 
names? 

Thank you in advance. :)

They certainly should if they promised in writing that they would do
so. I have seen no such promise with reference to Mountain Lion or any
other version of the Mac OS.

Otherwise, got Photoshop?

IIRC, the big cat desktop pictures were introduced in Snow Leopard 
(10.6).

    /Library/Desktop\ Pictures/Nature/Snow\ Leopard\ Prowl.jpg
    /Library/Desktop\ Pictures/Nature/Snow\ Leopard.jpg

The Lion (10.7) picture is still in its place.

    /Library/Desktop\ Pictures/Lion.jpg

The default in SL (10.6) was 
    /Library/Desktop\ Pictures/Nature/Aurora.jpg.

In Leopard, the default was 
    /Library/Desktop\ Pictures/Nature/Leopard\ Aurora.jpg.

Earlier versions used abstractions as defaults, but no cats.

    /Library/Desktop\ Pictures/Aqua\ Blue.jpg
    /Library/Desktop\ Pictures/Aqua\ Graphite.jpg
    /Library/Desktop\ Pictures/Galaxy.jpg
    /Library/Desktop\ Pictures/Jaguar\ Aqua\ Blue.jpg
    /Library/Desktop\ Pictures/Jaguar\ Aqua\ Graphite.jpg
    /Library/Desktop\ Pictures/Panther\ Aqua\ Blue.jpg

If they like, sure.  Apparently, they didn't bother for ML (10.8)

I distinctly remember a Jaguar themed one.
