A #Limerick for Big Cat Sunday
There once was a puma on a trail,
and the hiker didn't know if it was female,
but it had kits,
though the hiker had wits,
some CougarSmart would have stopped the cougar's sale.

A Thanksgiving Limerick:
There's not much that a cougar could want,
as it roams the Grand Canyon and the Parashant,
She would accept jerky,
doesn't have to be Turkey,
the cougar is just grateful for some land to haunt.

there once was a mountain lion,
who's french fries weren't fryin',
she heated the oil,
right up to a boil,
and cried out I'm tryin'

There once was a runner in the wood,
who knew that cougars are good,
for the environment and ecosystem,
but he still hoped he missed 'em,
lest he end up as cougar food
LIMERICK!

Would you rather be 100 miles down a trail and have your ebike fail, or encounter a cougar?

There's always a new mountain lion up in the hills!
just saw our local coyote pack out sauntering down the middle of the street not 20 feet from our balcony again
they almost always follow the same path through the neighborhood
but this time one of them only had three legs!
coyote fight?
or maybe there’s a new mountain lion up in the hills! 🤩

Do you know where the Cougars are?
If not, CougarSmart.
If so, you're a cougar and can't be trusted.
