[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1340886, member: 7123"] I wanna add this: To the extent that sightings are become more frequent, and to the extent that they are true - actually here; this just might make sense on an ecosystem basis on food supply alone, due to the pig population rapidly spreading. While an adult pig is probably about as difficult for a mountain lion to catch and take down as an adult deer, when it comes to feeding on the young'uns: (a) there's a lot more litters of piglets per year than with deer - not just one, but two or three, (b) there's a lot more piglets per litter than just the one or two that does have, and (c) they have shorter legs and are easier to catch. I've heard of people catching piglets more than once, but you don't hear of people catching fawns with their bare hands. Momma may be tougher to fight off, but if she charges you drop the piglet you have in your mouth, and while she's busy checking on it, grab another squealer. Just sayin, that may be a big part of why sightings have ramped up since the late 90s/2000. (they have ramped up, haven't they?) Ha ha. And oh yeah, they are trained to spot the Scent-Lok and Under Armour tags. [/QUOTE]
