As a park ranger, I have talked to people whose horses have encountered mountain lions. Long before they could even see the cat, the horse was aware that it was there and became extremely nervous, refusing to go any closer. It is reasonable to assume that a horse could panic and run if a mountain lion were too close, potentially throwing the rider.
Yes. I have personally seen a mountain lion in marion county on highway 28 near Jasper
Mountain lion activity in the area can be identified by their footprints, which are large and have distinct characteristics such as four toes with no claw marks visible. Look for tracks in soft soil or mud near water sources or game trails to spot evidence of mountain lion presence.
On August 3, 1805, a Saturday, Lewis recorded this in the journals:"This morning they passed a small creek on the starboard at the entrance of which Reuben Fields killed a large panther [mountain lion]. We called the creek after that animal, Panther Creek."This was the first time they encountered and killed a mountain lion.

The mountain lion print found at the scene of the crime is significant because it could indicate the presence of a wild animal near the crime scene. This could potentially provide important clues about the circumstances surrounding the crime and help investigators piece together what happened.

No, the Dutch settlers mined for silver in the mountains near Noordhoek- now part of the Table Mountain National park.
