Do mountain lions pose a threat to your children at all? I would imagine they do pose some threat to younger children if encountered and a hungry cat. What about adults? Do mountain lions ever purposefully hunt humans? Or as with some big cats, humans are avoided but might be a prey of convenience or opportunity at rare times? I would imagine, a mountain lion would generally avoid humans. But if they are hunting so close to human habitation .... ? I am sure pet dogs would be a prime mountain lion prey animal. Just like leopard in Africa and Asia. Are there any historical or modern accounts or recordings of maneater mountain lions? As to wolves, when I stayed with Sville in Sweden who was living then at his house in a forest, he was concerned about his daughter having to walk some 5 or 7 kms or bicycle, along a forest road to get to a bus stop. And that the increasingly breeding up wo0lf population might be a risk to children. A problem right out of history, and "dark" forest stories. But a modern problem with introduced wolves and protection. |
