....

You forgot to mention that pumna attacks on human beings (my favorite species of animal) have become increasingly common. What pumas need most is more predation by the animal above them on the food chain, us.

Thanks OP, I love Mountain Lions also...




and to the Poster above me, what YOU forgot to mention is that the reason why attacks have become more common is because of the LOSS of their habitat, caused by man, which then FORCES the Mtn Lion into closer proximity with humans, and also is responsible for loss of the prey the Mtn Lion normally feeds on.

What the Mtn Lion and ALL of Nature needs, is for so-called
"civilization" to respect the needs of all Creatures, not just the appetites of humans.

Beautiful CATS!!
Thanks for posting!

puma at large.

Pumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken seriously. However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.
The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw 'a large cat' only five yards away from her. It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered. The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place twenty miles away in the evening. Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits. Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging to bushes. Several people complained of "cat-like noises' at night and a businessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree. The experts were now fully convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from? As no pumas had been reported missing from any zoo in the country, this one must have been in the possession of a private collector and somehow managed to escape. The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught. It is disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside.

ALLOW ME. LION-TARDS

If you ever see one in the wild its been watching you for quite awhile. I only know one man who has ever sneeked up on a cougar. He was a old Yakima indan man. Very wise outdoors man. He claims pumas laugh when they are all alone.

very cool

They live behind my house....

have you ever pepper sprayed a mountain lion?

If someone did, they probably wouldn't live to post about it on glp

the nieghbor said he saw a 12 footer the other day

and dude the wolf prints I saw yesterday are huge

Growing up in N.East Alabama i have seen my fair share of them as a child.My sister and i were being stalked by one and if we didnt have our dogs with us im sure i wouldnt be typing this today.

This thread is interesting... [link to www.outdoorsmenforum.ca]

The cougar is the most graceful creature, I have had the blessing of being able to watch in the wild.

The most beautiful mix of grace, power, and pride shows in thier every motion.

beautiful!!
I love felines!!!

Where? I haven't heard of any in the states. Local news maybe?

mountain lions have been spotted in wisconsin and illinois recently

Did you know, according to theory of evolution, the Cat form, (making up the extant Felidae family) supposedly evolved independently at least 3 times? Nearly identical features evolving in separate lineages. Pretty absurd when you think about it. A testament to the mythical powers of natural selection.

First I'd pepper spray the mountain lion. They'd I'd stab it with my knife and kill it. Then i'd skin it and eat it and use the hide for clothing.
