Cat vs Dog

[dennishoddy]

Just finished a 2 hr show on Nat Geo about wolves vs mountain lions.
I knew you guys would be interested since they are infested around here.

The strike ratio (instant kill) for a mountain lion is 80 percent, while the wolf is only 10 percent. Wolves kill by a thousand tiny bites, while the canine teeth of the mountain lion sever the spinal cord. Wolves attact the rear of the animal to bring it down, mountain lions jump on the back of prey.

As you were.....just rambling....

Hope it comes on again. Sounds interesting.

It was totally interesting watching how the predator took its prey. They showed wolves against bison, elk, and deer. All were just bitten by the 100lb wolves , but that led to bleeding. Eventually the blood loss took over. Also showed wolves running a mountain lion off a kill. Lions have no stamina, wolves can run for 10 hours at at time if need be. Great shows.

Well I really hope it's on again. I've always heard mountain lions were the most efficient killers around. I've always wondered how they get some of the film they do. Most people go through life and never see a lion and if they do its usually a fleeting second.

Except for black mt lions, which are seen regularly. Hell, I saw one at Jack in the Box last week. Just a glimpse, but it was black, I swear. Screamed like a woman.

I have always wanted to be attacked by a Cougar... But don't tell my wife I said that!

These threads do seem to turn south quickly.
