Description
Mountain lion are true a success story, once the Government decided that they should be removed from the area, now more wild lions are in United States than when Columbus discovered North America. Lions area spreads from Florida to California to Canada all the way west on the northern half of the country to Wisconsin. Lion are amazing secretive animals that can and often live and travel within a few feet from houses without anyone knowing how close they are to us. Adult lion can kill a full grown healthy elk weighing 4-5 time their weight as a solitary killer. Lion are very playful like house cats and will kill a string of as many as ten sheep just for the thrill, eat only a small amount off of one sheep and go back up on the mountain or canyon they came from. They are truly amazing creatures that will kill the prey that comes closest with a speed and strength that makes them able to catch the healthiest fastest largest animal in the herd if that is the one that comes close to them. Theses are the apex of the hunters in all the animal kingdom in my opinion with the speed, strength and agility to survive as a solitary unit not requiring a pack to be able to kill prey much larger than themselves

I was about ten feet from this lion for the pictures. I ask the same question with other around crocks and sharks, it is what you are familiar with.
