Mountain Lions

Mountain Lion - MDC

I just came across a video describing the status of mountain lions in Missouri.  We hear a lot of false reports, news stories of a sighting or even a road kill, so it is hard to keep track of the big picture.  This MDC video by Todd Meese covers the subject in the first 28 minutes, everything you wanted to know about this animal which was commonly encountered in the early 1800s.

This MDC website has the latest information on the subject.
Update from National Geographic.

Thanks to Dave Shanholzer for sending me the video link.
