I pet a mountain lion once. Just once.
It was at a veterinary office and it was a cub that a professional handler had there for some reason. That cute little purr sounded like a big dog growling.

In a follow up to that sage advice, the National Park Service added these additional words of wisdom:
"Don't Mess Around With Jim" (unless you're "Slim")
To: SJackson
But what if someone just mails it to me?

Hey city folks.
Don’t mess with wild animals.
They will kick your ass.
Unless you are Chuck Norris.

There were some Bison on the other side ....
Just yesterday, there was a video on the news of a Yellowstone bison hooking a little girl and tossing her in the air. Mom and dad ran away. The Miami family had gotten very close to the bison. The bull didnt do anything for a while, but then snapped. Fortunately, the girl received only minor injuries.
Sometimes it amazes me how out of touch most people are about how strong and fast even small animals, like raccoons or opossums, are.

Wild animals are wild animals. Don’t pet them, don’t try to feed them, don’t jump into their enclosure in the zoo. Don’t approach them in the wild. Stop voting for Democrats.

“What about cougars?’’. There’s one two houses down from me. Brunette, 5’ 4’’, about 40-45. Grrrrr!

I agree. The end result of protecting people from their own stupidity is to live in a world full of fools. Like you would need to tell someone not to pet a wild animal, a predator no less as if it were a house pet.

I live on The Jersey Shore, Bricktown. The Atlantic is eight miles due east of my back door. I live in ranch home off the main street, Garden State Parkway is less than a quarter mile from my house. I have and had deer, turkeys in the development, running through my yard, regularly have raccoons,(half a dozen at a time), rabbits, skunks, ducks, a regular menagerie of wildlife and we’re technically an ‘’urban area’’.

We are rural, however the sprawl is moving our way. It seems like the animals are adapting. We were laughing hysterically when the black bears started relocating towards the city (Pittsburgh).
For years we have complained about the destruction (orchard and garden) and mess (feeders and trash) they were making. Of course the urban folk just loved the bears and told us to quit complaining.
They can love the bears now.
I am amazed at the varieties of different animals we have not seen before. Currently, ermines have been getting the neighbors attention. Very far south for them.

My late father lived i Emnaus. My two younger sisters and their families live there also. I have to say I've seen more wildlife here southern NJ than I did in that part of PA but of course that's not a fair comparison. Some years ago they state fish and game people wanted to introduce Black Bears into The Pine Barrens down here. The cranberry farmers went nuts. Thankfully the state abandoned the idea.

This is getting insane. So many people know nothing about wildlife, or even terrain.
When people have to be told not to pet bobcats, don’t have enough sense to keep a distance from bison, and play games and take selfies on the edge on on outcroppings at the Grand Canyon it simply amazes me.
People now seem to have issues with reality; I hear a new craze is staring down a wolf. That is supposed to be magical to those who claim to have done it...in the wild mind you. I guess we will know if that is real when people are being eaten by wolves again.

My dad used to say some people were too stupid to survive. The thing is now most of them do survive.
