Being a mountain biker in Southern California, I harbor a special paranoia for mountain lions. The fact that this was a self-portrait gives me the super extra creeps!

Did you know the beast was lurking behind you when this picture was taken?

It's not me. I got it from another forum...there's speculation that it's a photoshop.

I'm trying to find it right now, but the L.A. Times once published a pic that a guy took of his wife in kid in the mountains above Orange County. When he got the pictures back, he noticed a mountain lion hiding in the bushes, staring intently at the kid. I'll post it if I find it.

Actually, I'm pretty sure it is a photochop. It just looks weird.

Psh. Clearly you do not know socals cougar problem

If there was any time in which one was likely to appear it would be when there is a fresh kill on the ground to capitalize upon...could be real IMO.

It would be a really good photo shop to account for the flash like that, look at the shadows on the branches, and the light levels in the background.

It looks fake to me the cougar looks too small for where he should be in relation to the hunter and besides I don't think it would be after this dudes kill cats like to kill their own food
Yeah it's fake found this

Found it. They cropped out the mother and child which sucks because it made the pic extra creepy!

Look close.

Holy smokes...

I'm pretty sure that the pic's a fake. I had seen it before
But on the other hand - mountain lions are scary.
There are folks in Pa and even here in NJ who absolutely swear to have seen them although they're not supposed to exist here anymore.
I dunno they said the same thing about coyotes at one time, now they're here so who knows.

It's natures incentive of making you faster, nothing concentrates the mind like a set of teeth and claws on your tail

Cats especially love raw turkey. That's all I'm sayin'

I was working a wedding with a cater company out in the middle of nowhere, Texas. While taking a smoke break out back I was watching a few drunk guests meandering around in the "parking lot". Not 2 minutes later the biggest cougar I have ever seen stalks out from behind a car no more that 40 feet from the unexpected guests, eyeing them intensely. I picked up a rock and started to run down the hill towards the cat, yelling. I threw the rock and missed but by the time the rock hit the ground the cat took off. The people outside insisted I was crazy and on drugs untill I found the head ranch hand and showed him where the cat had been. Sure enough, in the dirt, there were track prints and a huge scuffle mark from where the cat had come up, crawled and laid down. Everyone started to take it seriously when the ranch hand came back with a 12 gauge and a 44 and refused to let people out to the parking lot.
BIGGEST COUGAR I HAVE EVER SEEN!

yes yes, mountain lions are often very Hungary for Turkey. They love the meat a little Swedened, but without too much Greece. And they always want to pay by Czech. They can get a little heavy after dinner though so bring Ukraine to lift them.
