“big cats”

Arizona hunters may no longer be able to take mountain lions or bobcats, as SB 1182, a bill drafted by Arizona State Sen. Steve Farley (D-Tucson), seeks to end the hunting of the big cats. Backed by a fine of no less than $8,000, and potentially much more, the bill, if passed, would make mountain lions and bobcats a “protected” species.

The Arizona Game and Fish Department and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have received a photograph of a jaguar taken by a Fort Huachuca trail camera in the Huachuca Mountains.

A woman in Naples, Fla., was out for a walk when a mountain lion raced past her on a bridge.

It’s fitting that Delta McKenzie’s 3-D life-size lion target has its own constellation as big-game hunters aim for the stars on their summertime African hunts.

Bringing the U.S. approach to science-based wildlife management to Zambia is the key to conservation of the species.

Some say the man-eating leopards and tigers than plagued India and Africa in the old days are history. But other reports, and even recent video, suggest otherwise.

California's something of a hotbed for mountain lion sightings. If you recall, a few weeks ago, I shared the video of a cougar taking an early morning stroll through the Hollywood Hills suburbs. Earlier this week, a family a run-in of their own with one of the big cats in nearby Orange County—and the result was substantially scarier.

Security cameras have captured footage of a mountain lion out for a just-before-dawn stroll through a residential area in Hollywood Hills, Calif.

NFL players Chris Johnson and Devin Hester went toe-to-toe (so to speak) with the world's fastest animal last week.
