Mountain lion skull found N of Bonanza Peak. The skulls are fairly small (8" long), even for adults, and are distinguished in part by the "keel" on the top of the skull.

Hasn't voted | MoapaPk: I'd like to complement you on your amazing discovery. Sounds like you use GPS quite a bit. That's great. The only time I had seen a LIVE mountain lion was in southern Arizona back in 1994, when I was a member of a NPS trail crew working in the Rincon Mtns. HEY, GREAT FIND! Did you hear about what climbers recently found on the north side of Mount Mendal in the Sierra Nevada? THANKS !!!

That's the second mt lion skull I've found; the other was on Bosque Peak S of Albuquerque, NM. The only Mt Lion I've "seen" in the wild was a tawny flash across our campsite. S/he expresses great displeasure that night, with a most incessant wailing/hissing sound. | | Posted Sep 13, 2007 10:40 pm |
