Mountain Lion at 17525 Rancho del Rio
This is a photo of signs for a Mountain Lion at 17525 Rancho del Rio, taken on Feb 6, 2012. The scat was actually located in the citrus grove and relocated to the driveway to facilitate a single photo. This track is very typical of mountain lion, and appears to be a left front paw (based on toe lengths and symmetry). The 3.5" sizeis characteristic as well as the shape of the toes and "heel" pad.
The scat contained a lot of rabbit fur. While often mountain lion scat would include deer fur, there are few if any deer here and its absence is not surprising. The scat has the cat characteristic segmentation, hard mucous coating, and "green dust" that is unique to cat scat.
