Book excerpt: The true tale of an edenic Rocky Mountain town and what transpired when a predatory species returned to its ancestral home. When, in the late 1980s, residents of Boulder, Colorado, suddenly began to see mountain lions in their yards, it became clear that the cats had repopulated the land after decades of persecution. Here, in a riveting environmental fable that recalls Peter Benchley's thriller Jaws, journalist David Baron traces the history of the mountain lion and chronicles Boulder's effort to coexist with its new neighbors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Last seen in the 1880s, cougars (also known as pumas or mountain lions) are making a return to the plains regions of the Midwest. Their comeback, heralded by wildlife enthusiasts, has brought concern and questions to many. Will the people of the region make room for cougars? Can they survive the highly altered landscape of the Midwest? Is there a future for these intrepid pioneers if they head even farther east? Using GIS technology, and historical data, among many other methods, Phantoms of the Prairie takes readers on a virtual journey, showing how the cougar might move over the landscape with minimal human contact. Drawing on his years of research on cougars, John W. Laundré offers an overview of what has been, what is, and what might be regarding the return of cougars to their ancestral prairie homeland.
Download or read book Mountain Lion written by Rebecca Grambo and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a multi-title review. Titles include 'Mountain Lion' and 'Shadow Cat' - NAT HIST The cougar, puma, mountain lion (or any number of other names) is considered extirpated from the eastern United States. An endangered population of a (debatable) subspecies, the Florida panther, numbers about 50 individuals. However, in the West, cougars are encountering humans more often, and their numbers are estimated to be strong. Unfortunately, as a result of increased contact, more humans (nine) have died from cougar attacks in the last 25 years than in the previous 100. Hence the timely publication of these two titles and others (e.g., Karen McCall's Cougar: Ghost of the Rockies, LJ 11/15/92). In Mountain Lion, wildlife photographer Cox's collection of outstanding color photos features cougars in action, in repose, at play, with their young, on the hunt, and more, as well as views of the rugged terrain that supports the great cats. Grambo's text offers a concise natural history, comments on human encounters and future concerns, and a brief bibliography. Shadow Cat is an anthology of 20 essays on the American mountain lion by such noted writers as Rick Bass, David Quammen, and Terry Tempest Williams covering natural history, human encounters, hunting issues, and predator politics. This nicely balanced collection covers the issues from more than one perspective. Both titles are recommended for public libraries and natural history collections. Nancy J. Moeckel, Miami Univ.

Download or read book Soul Among Lions written by Harley G. Shaw and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2000-09 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Skilled predators prized by hunters and cursed by ranchers, mountain lions are the wild soul of the American West. Now a wildlife biologist brings you nose to nose with the elusive cougar. Harley Shaw shares dramatic stories culled from his years of studying mountain lions, separating fact from myth regarding their habits while raising serious questions about mankind's relationship with this commanding creature. "Most of us move into the country because we love wildlife," writes Shaw. "But none of us will tolerate having our pets or children eaten. . . . When lion/human encounters occur, the lion (or bear, or wolf) always ultimately loses." Soul among Lions offers us a chance to consider the true meaning of that loss.

Download or read book Cougar written by Maurice Hornocker and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-12-15 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cougar is one of the most beautiful, enigmatic, and majestic animals in the Americas. Eliciting reverence for its grace and independent nature, it also triggers fear when it comes into contact with people, pets, and livestock or competes for hunters’ game. Mystery, myth, and misunderstanding surround this remarkable creature. The cougar’s range once extended from northern Canada to the tip of South America, and from the Pacific to the Atlantic, making it the most widespread animal in the western hemisphere. But overhunting and loss of habitat vastly reduced cougar numbers by the early twentieth century across much of its historical range, and today the cougar faces numerous threats as burgeoning human development encroaches on its remaining habitat. When Maurice Hornocker began the first long-term study of cougars in the Idaho wilderness in 1964, little was known about this large cat. Its secretive nature and rarity in the landscape made it difficult to study. But his groundbreaking research yielded major insights and was the prelude to further research on this controversial species. The capstone to Hornocker’s long career studying big cats, Cougar is a powerful and practical resource for scientists, conservationists, and anyone with an interest in large carnivores. He and conservationist Sharon Negri bring together the diverse perspectives of twenty-two distinguished scientists to provide the fullest account of the cougar’s ecology, behavior, and genetics, its role as a top predator, and its conservation needs. This compilation of recent findings, stunning photographs, and firsthand accounts of field research unravels the mysteries of this magnificent animal and emphasizes its importance in healthy ecosystem processes and in our lives.
