Maxie...what?!?!?!?
Cats ARE NOT on shaky ground!!!
Mountain lions in Santa Monica Mountains need more room, experts say - latimes.com
There are chitloads of them! A friend worked w/ DFG (When it was DGF) tagging lions on Camp Pendleton. They got 6 collars for their study...about as many cats as thought would be in the area. They ended up collaring 19!!! 1 lived under the tracks at Trestles. They are pounding the crap out of the local deer populations...and have now moved east (the only way they can go) and are putting the hurt on the bighorn sheep population...(along w/ pnemonia from domestic sheep).
Oh...I've eaten lion...it is great!
