mountain lions are NOT big cats
they are big cats only in size and if you cross a mt. lion w/ a pantherine or "true" big cat its offspring will be sterile and look deformed as well as having a short life span....

Its debated if its a 'big cat' or not. Some scientist say that the four cats in the genus panthera are the only big cats. And some say that the cougar, cheetah, snow leopard, and clouded leopard are "big cats", so its your opinion.

Don't leave your dogs out.

I've seen 2 in my neighborhood (scottsdale, Mcdowell Mountain, very populated) Last week my best friend's dog was taken from the backyard by one. If you ask me, theyre becoming a serious problem.

I have lived in southern arizona all my life and i live in a city of 1,000,000.
But if there was a part of the city where ML would show- it would be where i live. Close to the base of the mountains in a suburbian area away from the metropolotian wasteland.
There 'have been sightings' that set off the community up here- (elementary schools obsessivley not letting the kids out of sight)
But i have never seen one or known anyone who has seen one. For what thats worth

Beautiful they are,no question.But NEVER think beauty and lethality are mutually exclusive.
Be careful in the woods.They don't play!
