Mountain Lions - Species SignificanceAs Mountain Lions are a natural part of the ecosystem of our planet, their role is very significant. Their value lies principally in maintaining biological diversity.
Mountain Lions - Conservaiton ProblemsBecause of the following factors, the population of these wonderful animals are decreasing greatly each year. Among these factors are: extermination efforts, hunting pressure, and habitat destruction. Thus, the population of the lions in eastern North America was entirely exterminated except for a small population of Florida panthers.Mountain Lions - Habitat LossAs the natural area for the animals lessens constantly, the lions are bound to expand into areas of human habitation whereas humans interfere with these animals' areas as well, especially in the western United States. Mountain Lions are now common in suburban areas of California and have recently been seen as far east as urban Kansas City, Missouri, where several have been hit by cars.Mountain Lions use a wide variety of habitats including montaine coniferous forests, lowland tropical forests, grassland, dry brush country, swamps, and any areas with adequate cover and prey. Dense vegetation, caves, and rocky crevices are used as shelters. Mountain Lions - Present Day SituaitonAt present, Mountain Lions are considered as unwanted predators. Their value as game animals has received little attention, but those who have hunted them with trained dogs vouch that the sport is thrilling and exciting.
