LOCOMOTION (MOVEMENT)
When mountain lions run, their claw prints don’t show. When they walk their hind feet go in the tracks that their front feet made, making an over lapping pattern. It looks similar to the tracks made by human feet. Dogs tracks are more even and they have claw prints because cats can retract their claws and dogs can’t.
Mountain lions can jump 15 feet high and they can jump 40 feet forward in one jump.
These are pictures of mountain lion tracks.

MOUNTAIN LIONS EAT COWS, PIGS, CHICKENS, AND OTHER LIVESTOCK, WHICH IS WHY FARMERS SOMETIMES SHOOT MOUNTAIN LIONS.
