A Carnivore Message Center

In my previous video installment, I shared footage of a mountain lion who had cached an elk carcass very nearby to a forest clearing. In fact, I found the forest clearing by following the lion tracks from the carcass to it. It turned out to be a great wildlife spot for years and years.

For the 10 months following the lion's frequent visits, many animals came through the clearing including lions, bobcats, moose, and a coyote. My favorite part is how the smaller carnivores like bobcats have the courage to mark over the scent of the lions. They are amazing creatures!

Check out the video if you have time. And, Happy Earth Day, a day late! Let's protect the parts of the Earth that we can by giving wildlife and their special spots space to be truly wild.

  6. Great footage as always! I got a kick out of the moose so close to camera. The coyote looked like it needed a good meal or two.

  11. The coyote looked a bit rough and definitely needed a good feed, and the Bobcat lying down, loved all the guys and gals as they strolled along their highway. Interesting to see the different times and dates too, a great memory of those days all together,
