Ms.
Woodruff,
Here
are the
pictures that
I mentioned in
our phone
conversation.
The word
document
contains the
picture of the
mountain
lion at the
feeder
that I believe
the gentleman
you spoke with
was
mentioning.
Note the heavy
spotting on
the immature
puma, the
tan color of
the road
killed and
deer feeder
one, and the
very very
light blonde
color of the Mt.
Lion 2
one. Also
remember
although I
call the one
photo puma it
is still a
mountain lion
(Puma concolor
(Latin)).
Names for the
mountain lion
change
depending on
where you are--Florida
its called
panther, New
York
catamount,
Utah cougar,
Texas mountain
lion, Mexico
puma, but all
refer to the
same animal
Puma concolor
(cat of one
color).
