Cool photo!
It’s getting to the point that because mountain lions are a protected species we may start seeing them on the American River Parkway in Sacramento, CA very soon (the American River Parkway has a number of coyote sightings in recent years).
“It’s the Circle of Life.....”
Question: What do we do with the small children after we pick them up?
Do we toss them at the mountain lion as a diversionary tactic?
Do we use them as little shields to protect ourselves in the event the mountain lion attacks us?
I’m not at all clear on the protocol in a situation like this...
Oh, Deer.
When you feed your "pet" deer, you're just setting the buffet table.
I just looked this up, and noticed that it's a stone's throw from the Alpine Inn (an old haunt of mine).
My wife was a resident doing a rotation in the emergency room the last time someone, a female jogger I believe, was attacked by a mountain lion hereabouts. They attack you from behind. You usually don’t see them coming. They slam into you with such force your internal organs are ripped from their moorings and your spinal column breaks in several places. Imagine a 140-pound bean bag with teeth, claws and muscles, and bad intentions, hit you from behind at 40 mph when you least expected it. My wife said the X-rays looked like someone had put this woman’s internal organs in a box and shaken them up.
Why are Mountain Lions enjoying fresh venison when millions and millions of school children are subsisting on horrible school lunches. I think we should all ask our Dear Leader’s Dearest One, the Mochelle, to force these Lions to eat nutritionall balance slime like school children have to. It’s just not fair.
