How many times have we all walked into Evan Thomas creek down Kananaskis?
There, just standing in middle of track ahead was a COUGAR!!!!!!!
He/She just stood there watching, then calmly walked across the track and into the trees. Must have had lunch that day.
Wow 😯 😯 😯
Fantastic.
After all those years of watching for foot prints and thinking, oh yeah, we’ll never be in danger of actually seeing one. He/she didn’t fancy a Terry flavoured snack that day then. :yum: :yum:
Nice cat! :star: But not at all unexpected from a cat-charmer. I’m sure if he had not had lunch yet he would’ve eaten out of the palm of your hand. 🙂
OMG, that’s amazing. Do you know how many times I wondered who’d be lunch when I saw prints? I wonder what our cat crazy friend will think?
Have a great time Terry, say hi to Vicki.
Hey Terry,
Are you sure… it looks like a bobcat or lynx to me! Pointy ears. Doesn’t really look that big compared to the tracks. Did you see it’s tail?
A lynx tail is very short – 4 inches (?), bobcat is like a house cat, cougar is as long as the body and a foot of it would drag on the ground when walking.
Fantastic Terry, and you kept your wits and got a piccy 😉 good work!!!
and whatever it is…………….. it’s not a dog!! Wait ’til Anna sees it!! :love: :love:
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh; here kitty, kitty as I used to say whenever I saw prints 😀
Are we sure it’s not a penguin?
Er… in disguise?!
Well, the picture has stimulated great interest in town. Measuring sticks are coming out and extrapolations made. Ear shapes being matched to profiles. Particularly so because the Wardens believe there is a cougar operating relatively close to the parking lot in Evan Thomas. Daft thing is that, although we examined the tracks (a good time)afterwards, we clean forgot to photograph them 😥
But last year,they were prolific around there. particularly around Moonlight Falls, where one actually sat by our sacks at the bottom (before the slope)presumably watching us abseiling :yum:
But it certainly wasn’t a Penguin 🙄
