It's not that fun when you're out in the country with one around. Bearing in mind that they DO pair up. It can be creepy at night, because you never know if it's around or if it's close by you.

Agreed: An automatic rise in personal alert level was caused by the cats calling to each other just after dusk, drawing ever nearer to the very river I was camping next to. Each time one called, the other answered... first, half a mile away; next, a fourth of a mile away; next, about two hundred yards away; then, a mere hundred yards away. I was wide awake for three hours waiting, waiting, waiting... then fell asleep. In the morning, there were tracks ALL THROUGHOUT the campsite! -Their curiosity apparently brought them through "to see what they could see"...I'm glad I wasn't delicious!

As an apex predator, the big cats DO pose a threat to livestock when natural prey is lean. They WILL chase you if you run.

However, they half-way bury what don't eat from their kill, and scavenger-type critters benefit.
