Reply #23: panthers must be beautiful

[rumpel]

I have only seen the acting ones - worked twice with black panthers. I have great respect for them.

Yes, it is sad...but we have the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy and they pretty much bought a lot of the remaining land so it can no longer be developed. But the damage is done. There is one section they are still trying to get. But there is just not enough range for any more mountain lions than there are now.
We have plenty of deer and rabbits, but after fires and in drought conditions it gets tough for them -
I don't think they are hungry in a sense when they observe the children - the animal trainers will not let children, especially near panthers - you can not look them directly into their eyes - even from afar they sense it from your body language - they take it as a challenge.

beer camp is a good one.
