Grand Canyon Wildcat ? ?Mountain Lion?

Tracks of the StoneBear 4 Corners Grand Canyon

April '08

Wildcat sighting

While taking in the magnificent views of the Grand Canyon... stunned by the beauty of looking into the canyons million years erosion.... crisp thin air, bright sunshine.... absolutely breathtaking views.... we look down onto the ledge beneath the rim... and there's a wildcat walking the edge of the rim.

T-bird takes pix franticly and captures a couple of shots. You have to look close to see this wildcat.... ?mountain lion,... walking along. After looking as close as I can... I don't see a bobed tail of a wildcat... but do see a longer body and tail ; maybe it is a mountain lion / or puma . A crow was circling, squaking the wildcat.... maybe trying to steer the wildcat away from it's nest. This was a unique shot to capture on film/ pix.

Look close to see. Pix # 3 and 4 lower center.

Maybe in a national park the wildcat was safe from hunting.... didn't fear humans being so close.... it was still unique to see.
