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.

The problem is calling them mountain lions.
They have a variety of names: cougar, puma, panther wild cat, even catamount.
They like rocky areas, or rugged areas, not necessarily mountains.
