[ Was just talking about that ]
Another Lion was spotted in the Palo Alto area, this time at the Stanford dish. I was having a beer conversation just the other night about that area and lions.
Funny we thought, well me, that the lions were passing through this area to get into the neighborhoods. This area I speak of is of classic California rolling hills/ cattle/ horse ranches. "Easy" food for a lion the horse or cows would be. And th person was disagreeing with me stating that a lion wouldn't eat those. The comment if I recall was, "a bull is too large". Well we're talking horses and cows, not bulls. An average 3 to 5 year old cat at 100+ pounds could take a horse or cow. No problem.
Anyhow, this is all assuming as we don't know if this is their path into the neighborhood. I use "theirs" b/c my theory is there is this particular area. I believe the Mom cat brought her young in here once and now they continue to use their path through the neighborhoods. It is logical but can only be proven ... hhmmm, I do not know yet how it can be proven. Buckle up!
