Or maybe a mountain lion doing just what a mountain lion does..........
Female Mountain lion, forced to hunt humans due to habitat loss from CLIMATE CHANGE.

My HS English teacher would say the original is better.
Yes. They try to strike on the back of the neck. They take elk down instantly that way, so they are powerful. It can cause an overpressure followed by sudden blood pressure drop in people. I lived among quite a few of them for a while. Never heard them growl as seen in movies. They only made a short, raspy screeching sound and only at night (mating call, perhaps). Sounded more like some kind of bird.
On dry ground, they walked really fast when traveling and make the speed look effortless. When running, they looked fast as greyhounds.
But in deep ice, they hopped like jackrabbits and covered a lot of ground real fast when running from me (very bright moonlight at high altitude and elevation, temp way below zero). Wildlife experts claim that they only go after live animals, but that’s not correct. They’ll eat dog food in the winter, unless the dog is out watching for them. They’re afraid of large dogs (like shepherds or hound dogs). They’re afraid of adult humans, too, unless you have your back to them.
I don’t accept your fatalism. The Democrats have worked at their scheme for a long time and it will take a long time to undo it but I believe it will eventually be undone, and before we become worse off from Cuba. Call it irrational optimism, but I am infected by it.
Optimism, it is said, is true moral courage.
Back in the 1950s no one would ever have believed that things could come to this pass. And yet, here we are.
My only comfort is to reflect that I’m not the smartest person around. Maybe somebody else can think our way out of this one. I certainly haven’t been able to.
Was the Mountain Lion wearing a MAGA Hat?
YA THINK?
Not to worry though, we are at only 8 inches of rain/snow, when normally this time of year we should have at least 20.
This coming summer and fall the fires should be spectacular.
Started on widening my fire break from 80ft to 100ft last week.
They finally put the August Complex to bed about 2 or 3 weeks ago at just over 1,032,640 acres.
THAT’S THE CALIFORNIA WAY TO MANAGE OUR FORESTS!!!!
Here is a great example of basic nature at work. Thank God for man made hardened glass!
