Not to pry but what do they sound like when they scream? Is it usually at night or any time of the day? I bet it is the type of sound that makes your blood run cold.
I’d read that mountian lions, unlike other large cats, scream, that it sounds like a woman screaming. Once it was at evening twilight, once in the early night.
It was unearthly, not like any scream of a human, really. Almost like the scream or call of a hawk but of course much louder, with more depth. It was very frightening.
