Re: Mountain Lions in San Antonio?
Here is a possible print I found near the two parks. Apparently two tracks on top of each other. Rough country, hard ground with little topsoil. What made me think it was possibly a cougar was the rounded toes and size. No claws like a dog. Didn't think about adding something for scale but this image had to be cropped to be accepted anyway. Ultimately, it's an interesting maybe.
I spent three months in the Sierra Madre mountains in Mexico with a ranch hand who taught me a few things. We looked for bear but the area had it share of cats.
I heard about mountain lions being in the Helotes and Scenic Loop area 25 years ago. I don't find it too hard to believe that there are few around. Leon Valley is not just a catchy name ; )
From everything I've seen and read they're ghosts. Besides there is plenty of deer and other wildlife to eat. So as for what the city is going to do? How about slowing down or stopping the leveling off of hilltops in the area? I'd be more worried about getting hit by a car jogging down the road than being attacked by a mountain lion.
