Mountain Lion

[btfc]

I just saw a mountain lion while driving home. It was crouched down close to the road as I drove slowly past. A younger one, I think.

Sure it was a mountain lion, and not a cougar or puma?

You should have stopped and checked to make sure it was OK.

They're pretty big.

Where are you?

"Sure it was a mountain lion, and not a cougar or puma?"

Perhaps a catamount or painter.

I came back by for a second look but it was gone. Just east of Alta, WY.

.....if it was a cougar......you should have stopped....she probably would have given you her number [ before pouncing on you ]..........

Basically, geography.

Same animal, with even more names than you can shake a stick at.

Go find a nice big box and go back and put it further into the woods. Mr. Kitty will move up there to sit in the nice box.
