mountain lions lived all over the continent before it was settled. so did grizzlies. there are lions everywhere in colorado, mountains, plains, desert. there are mtn lions in wisconsin, in missouri. they're back and doing well. all good. i'm not into capital letters today...

Mnt lions have been expanding north also. Have been seen in eastern Alaska,(along the yukon border). Trapper got one year or so ago in southeast Alaska; in a wolf snare.

Very interesting. Guess my understanding of midwestern/plains topography, etc. is lacking. I have to assume that even if there isn't much in the way of hills or mountains, there must be substantial tree cover. I can't imagine mountain lions living out in the open.
