Mountain Lions (dangerous, moving, areas)

[gtsurfer05]

Mountain Lions are moving back towards the east. They've been expanding towards the areas with an over population of deer. There is already a population in the upper part of Lower Michigan, and they've already been seen in Ill. It won't be too long before the big cat is roaming around the "national park" and other areas in Ohio.

Good to know. I'm all for thinning out the deer pop.

Wont happen. There might be a stray one sometime down the road come from a nearby mountain region. But Ohioans have never shown to be tolerant of wildlife like mountain lions. Most any species that was larger or could be considered dangerous was gone by 1850. Over a hundred and fifty years ago. Black bear don't even thrive in Ohio. They have to be protected because people are too intolerant.

Well, they are already back in western new york. Nothing wrong with that, it was once native territory to the cat.
