Video & Info
I have just watched “The Secret Life of Mountain Lions”.  The bonds between mother and kittens, the relationship of a father to his family, and the struggle for survival in a harsh environment is a true picture of this beautiful cat. The video will touch many hearts, and many will feel as shocked as I am that these animals do not receive more protection from the government.

Mountain lions are vulnerable to extinction​

Scientists agree that habitat loss and overhunting are the major threats to mountain lion populations. While cougars are one of the most adaptable of the large carnivores, their populations are also vulnerable to extinction. When explorers arrived in the Americas, these big cats were seen as a threat to livestock and competition for food, and they were hunted, trapped, and much of their habitat was bulldozed to make way for development. Hunting, loss of habitat trapping, highway collisions, rodenticides, retaliation for livestock predation, and other threats continue to take a toll on populations throughout their range.
