Mountain Lion (Puma concolor)Observer
jim_carrettaDescription
All 4 feet are visible, arranged in a compact, trapezoidal pattern. Tracks were only a few feet away from wire fence, facing directly away from wire and post fence. We thought initially cat jumped fence and landed compactly here. But the toes of the front tracks are not splayed, so perhaps it was merely crouched here. Nothing at the site indicated it had to have come from the other side of the fence. We failed to check fence top for hairs.
