They avoided places with multiple dogs though, as a group of dogs would work together against the mountain lion, and they avoided large dogs. Single dogs, especially smaller ones, were easy to kill. Coyotes did this too. Both predators also ate domestic cats. Coyotes are starting to become common in the part of Indiana where I live and are even being seen in the city. Ft. Wayne's a fairly large city, 250,000 people. -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-424-0897 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://blog.chriscrawfordphoto.com My latest work!
