The think about mountain lions is they can live everywhere, from the desert to the mountains and everywhere in between. They are isolated animals who live alone, except when mating. The female keeps her litter with her for a very long time. The males leave at about a year and the females at 1 1/2 to two years. A male mountain lion lives a solitary life on a very large territory. The females live on somewhat smaller territories, yet still large. They consume prey from mouse to moose. Although a female mother may allow her female cubs (not the males), after leaving her care, to have their new territory overlap hers, a male cougar won't allow another male's territory to overlap his territory. Attacks by mountain lions have and continue to occur more often as some of their habitat becomes encroached upon. many attacks are by young animals as they learn to survive and hunt on their own and they often mistake a human (particularly small humans) as prey. They might stalk prey for an hour waiting for a vulnerable time and then they attack quickly and quietly. A mother with year-old cubs hunts more often since she must provide them with about the same amount of food as a full grown cougar. She will generally kill a deer every three days to feed herself and her cubs. When it is very hot and the kill has spoiled, they must hunt again. They can jump vertically between 15-20 feet straight up and can leap straight ahead much further. It "could" be that a cougar lives in the woods behind the Grandma's house and nobody would even have known. Yes, they ARE that elusive!
O/T UPDATE: Did anyone read the latest on Deorr Kunz? There is new evidence that has been withheld due to a witness being afraid to come forward. It has not been disclosed what as yet.
However, the PI firm has "ruled out any attack by a wild animal - beyond a reasonable doubt. There is no evidence to support this theory whatsoever."

This is a post from someone who has been out looking for Noah. He is also a friend of the family.
Update, as of late last night still not found him.Special equipment was brought in to check all the ponds in the area. He was not found in any of them. Later on as the grampa and me and a few other peole started looking closer to the area he was lost in, a valley with lots of holes is there.We are now concentrating on looking for him underground where the dogs kept losing his scent. We think that whiffs of Noah's scent were being pushed out of the ground when people walked next to the holes. There are water caverns under the ground.As you walk the ground gives.qThe family thinks everyone for the support thay have been given. It is so helpful and encouraging..

Hi everyone. Popping in for an update. Nothing huh. OMG where is he? I can't believe there is no trace of him out there. I guess finding no diaper, etc means it is still all on HIM and well, he has fallen into something! I hate to say it but yes to cadaveur dogs at this point. If he's out there, it's beyond reasonable to assume the elements aren't survivable. I think he fell but looking at this cougar attack theory...someone spotted what they thought was a cougar about an 1hr from Chester County on the 16th of Jan. Now these cats can get anywhere they want to QUICK. So, I just thought that was interesting that someone had spotted a large cat. Here is the link. https://uu.edu/forms/cougars/sightings.cfm JMO
