A Christmas Day Mountain Lion

We had a sad holiday season so even the smallest thing helped a bit. One such thing was discovering that a mountain lion had made the rounds of my trail cams on Christmas afternoon. Daylight videos of lions never fail to make me smile. This is a short but sweet video.

This video triggered me to reread one of my favorite books about mountain lions, "Ghostwalker" by Leslie Patten. Even on my second reading of it, I learned a ton. If you are interested in lions, you might enjoy this book.

In the meantime, check out this short daytime video.
