Calls about coyotes harassing dogs in our neck of the woods were received. I pass this location most nights, taking our dogs for a spin.

They seem to like to snack on mountain bikers here in SoCal.. when that happens it gets blamed on “old lion, food scarce”. Dunno if that’s the case or not...

It could be that a passing biker in the boondocks looks like Meals On Wheels and the mountain lion just thinks that this beats the hell out of hunting.
