| "Here's another track just like it over here," said Michael. "But this one is huge."
"That's because the cat that made it is a lot bigger," replied Mom. "You found your mountain lion." "Oh no! Where?" Michael gasped. "Sorry," said Mom. "I meant you found mountain lion sign." "Let's see what you kids learned today," said Dad. "What can you figure out about this mountain lion?" "I see a bunch of scratch marks on this tree," said Emily. "I think it used it lake a scratching post to sharpen its claws!" "Is this mountain lion scat?" asked Michael. "It sure is," said Dad. "See how it tried to bury the scat?" "Yeah, and it has bits of hair in it, just like the coyote scat," Michael pointed out. "They definitely eat other animals." Emily laid her hand next to the track."This cat's awfully big," she said. "That's right," Mom said. "A mountain lion weighs as much as I do, and a big one can weigh more than Dad!" -from pages 40-43 |
