40 years ago I lived on Pt Reyes. One day I was driving along the road that went along the beach and I looked up and saw a very large mountain lion running through the grass on the east (mainland) side of the road. I called Fish and Game and they said I was imagining things ...no big cat had been seen there for decades.Some years ago, people had been talking about there being mountain lions in the caves around North Kansas City. The MO Dept of Conservation said people were crazy until a young mountain lion was killed by a car, crossing I-29 near the Worlds of Fun amusement park.
