The Wild Comes Home 📽 by @zmendo Mountain lion carved up this deer and left it on someone's driveway. It pays to remember that certain human carveouts around North America are still inhabited by wild lions, aka mountain lions, pumas, cougars or panthers, which roam several regions overlapping with human settlements. These adaptable predators thrive in diverse habitats, from mountains to deserts, and are found in the western United States, including California’s Santa Monica Mountains near Los Angeles, Colorado’s Front Range close to Boulder and Denver, and states like Arizona, Utah, Oregon, and Washington. In Canada, cougars inhabit British Columbia’s Vancouver Island and areas near Kelowna, as well as Alberta’s Rockies near Calgary. In Mexico, they roam northern regions like Sonora and Chihuahua, while in Florida, the endangered Florida panther lives in the Everglades near Miami and Naples. Though elusive and typically avoiding heavily populated areas, cougars may venture into suburbs or rural communities seeking prey like deer, highlighting their ability to coexist near human territories across the continent. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Nature Is Metal is powered by you!

Is it just me or does that look like a relatively clean disembowelment?

Yeah, the math ain’t mathing here for me. Clean lines along the cavity and ribs, blood everywhere but under the actual carcass, odd damage to the antlers, and the prey left out in the open? Bare minimum, humans moved it to unblock the driveway. But the whole thing looks sus, especially compared to the carcasses I’ve seen in the wild. 🧐

Did the lion have a leatherman?

It’s interesting if you look closely, you can see that the mountain lion was gnawing on the antlers to get pieces of the velvet off too. That’s interesting behavior I didn’t know they do that.
