Sadly, Texas is the only state in the U. S., if memory serves, that still allows the killing of mountain lions for any reason, any time, with no permit of any kind. These animals have gained the respect they deserve in almost every other state except Texas. Predators are a very important part of all ecosystems in order to maintain balance on resources.

Carried on in the tradition of my Grandfather, Russell Culbreath, you have captured the love, fear, and respect for these creatures. I hope they continue to thrive in spite of civilization, the environment, and...TRAPPERS. I can recall my grandfather telling me stories of all the animals he was paid to kill...in order to protect government land and cattle. Later in life, he searched them out, just to watch them and appreciate their presence and beauty. Even if some of them are dangerous, they belong here. I hope they stay. I would be terrified to see one in my yard, but honestly, I would let it be there, so that I could show my love and respect. I love this story.

It gives another picture for those of us who live outside your area of its natural "charms". Behind our house, in Queensland, Australia, this morning we found an injured possum (a native, Aussie species) hiding in our compost bin. I put on thick gloves and we put it in a pet carry cage and my wife took it to the local vet. It's encounters with wild creatures like this that remind us all of connections with nature that those of us who are city dwellers rarely see. Great story, Sylvia!

I know it makes me sound like a Yankee, but I still think it is neat to see a dead Armadillo on the road. Still have not seen a live one. In Chicago, I saw a opossum once. Normal wildlife there was stray cats and the super rats that looked like cats with short legs and hairless tails. that’s really kinda cool.
