Grizzly bears, black bears, wolves, coyotes, cougars/ mountain lions,bobcats, wolverines, lynx, foxes, fishers and martens are the suite of carnivores that originally inhabited North America after the Pleistocene extinctions. This site invites research, commentary, point/counterpoint on that suite of native animals (predator and prey) that inhabited The Americas circa 1500-at the initial point of European exploration and subsequent colonization. Landscape ecology, journal accounts of explorers and frontiersmen, genetic evaluations of museum animals, peer reviewed 20th and 21st century research on various aspects of our "Wild America" as well as subjective commentary from expert and layman alike. All of the above being revealed and discussed with the underlying goal of one day seeing our Continent rewilded.....Where big enough swaths of open space exist with connective corridors to other large forest, meadow, mountain, valley, prairie, desert and chaparral wildlands.....Thereby enabling all of our historic fauna, including man, to live in a sustainable and healthy environment. - Blogger Rick

MAN CAPTURES RARE GLIMPSE OF MOUNTAIN LION FAMILY IN ANGELES NATIONAL FOREST

A photographer captured a rare glimpse of some playful mountain lions in their natural habitat in the Angeles National Forest.

Playtime in the forest. A mother mountain lion and her two kittens offered a rare look at their lives.

"You hear her calling out to the young. They make kind of a bird-chirping sound. The young ones and the mom call out to each other," said photographer Robert Martinez.

They showed up in front of cameras placed in the Angeles National Forest and hung out for about an hour - at times getting a little bit too close-up.

Martinez said the family even knocked over his cameras and other equipment.

Martinez is fascinated by mountain lions. He has spent years placing cameras in different spots, capturing video of the big cats and other animals in their habitats.

He started tracking this mother mountain lion before she became pregnant - even giving her a nickname.

"I call her Limpy because she has a distinct limp," he said. "I saw her doing the mating calls about two years ago. I thought this might be really cool to watch the story unfold."

He was thrilled when Limpy and her kittens showed up last week, playing together, taking naps and walking all over the cameras.

Martinez also said he hopes the videos raise awareness.

"Show the beauty in them and show their natural behavior in their natural habitat - undisturbed by humans," he added.
