In mid-September, a mountain lion arrived in our neck of the woods. He alertly stood tall as he passed my cam. What a magnificent animal.
He must have slept somewhere in our area during the day of 9/16. He was up and marking his territory by early evening. This marking spot always send shivers up my spine - it's very close to home and our evening walking route.
Then, another big Tom Cat came through in early October. He looked huge and tough when he first arrived in a marking spot.
But then, he decided to roll on his back in the spot where lions have marked multiple times. It made me laugh out loud.
Every now and then, a lion chooses to do goofy rolling. This may be the first time that I captured video of it! It's even better in action!
The lion may be near you, but they are probably avoiding you.
ReplyDeletethe rollover is making my face hurt from grinning. he is magnificent and just like a house cat... I just showed it to bob and said, she walks with that out there and I am afraid to let the dog out in the yard and all we have are raccoons
ReplyDeleteRolling outside is so much fun! I guess he thinks it is too!
ReplyDeleteWhat amazing footage :) Nothing is better then a good roll in the grass :) Milo,Jet & Arli
ReplyDeleteDo the Labrador seem to notice the marking spot? Love that video!
ReplyDeleteLOL grits at supper is fine. We often have breakfast for supper in the winter. Never put stir fried veggies on them but it sounds yummy!

I always know when a lion has been through because Shyla tells me. She wants to run to the marking spot, sniff, and then add her own pee mail to the spot.

ReplyDeleteThat big kitty sure is something!
ReplyDeleteWhatever he was rolling in, we are glad we don't have to give him a bath:) The mountain lion sure is a very impressive creature.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great video. Who knew that the wild cats can be a silly as our house cats?
ReplyDeleteLove the roll. You think he's channeling his inner 'house cat?' 😆
ReplyDeleteThat is cool. Be careful on your walks.
ReplyDeleteMade my day.

I would be nervous about walking when knowing those big cats could be out there! Yet he looks like a big kitten when rolling around like that! :)
