Beloved Beasts: a Conversation with Author Michelle Nijhuis
The use of "American Lion" in this video may cause a bit of confusion as that name is given to the, now extinct, Panthera atrox. Just sayin'.
Is this Foundation aktuell 2024????? Because this Video is/was 13 Years ago. GREETINGS FROM GERMANY ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
if the mountain lion keeps the deer herds small, who keeps the mountain lions quantity small?? 🤔
Whos gonna do something to keep the human quantity small?
jrviade85, Lack of food. When the food source (deer, elk , wolves, coyote, etc.) dwindles, the cougar population will soon follow. And when the cougar population dwindles, the deer, et al. will thrive. When more food animals thrive, the cougar population will follow. It is a time honored cycle that has worked almost perfectly for thousands and thousands of years. And if mankind could leave it alone (or at least minimize the interference), it will continue to work in the future.
The stupid background "music" was not needed. Who decided that Africa "music" helped that video.
I know laws vary from state to state, But in California it is illegal to harm a mountain lion if it attacks or kills your pet. I don't have children so my pets are my Children. I have a responsibility to keep them safe and it's horrifying that I can't exercise that right to protect them. Other than I only let them out a few hours a day. From noon till 3 in the afternoon Supervised.. And then they're indoors from that point on, but still If a mountain lion jumps my fence in the afternoon I will have to watch it eat my pets alive. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way. And i'm also sure this comment of mine will get all kinds of hate from mountain lion sympathizers that believe mountain lions shold be aloud to eat our pets.I just happen to love all animals ,pets and wild ones.
You love all animals, thats excellent. When are you planning to move out of their habitat then?
As a solo hiker, there is few things I fear more in the world than a mountain lion.
We need to take care of this Lion!!
Yes - a place to start is to outlaw hunting of cats.
If the population of deer is deemed to be dropping why do we not restrict human hunting and killing mt. Lions?
Government needs to do more to protect ALL these beautiful amazing Puma 's . Humans need to stop encroaching upon their habitats and sport hunting should be banned and be made punishable by law.
These creatures are utterly magnificent; alas, we don’t have them in New Zealand. I’d love to see one in the wild, but I’d probably wind up as lunch after trying to pet one. 😏
Jay Bruce is resting in piss, and mountain lions are still here. Not only was he a POS, but he also failed in his life's mission.
Beh! Chiamare "leone " quello che è solo un gatto troppo cresciuto mi sembra ridicolo ed esagerato!
Wow great story, your perseverance and struggles, I’m so happy for you that you made it through so many obstacles. Congrats on 5 year sober ❤. Your photography is amazing , it’s not just getting out of a vehicle and getting a few shots. You’re getting out to a blind in the cold, researching these beautiful animals. Great story Savannah , now I have more reason to follow along.
I admire your strength and perseverance through everything and your pictures are nothing less than amazing...thank you for sharing your story...respect...
Great stories! Thanks! 😻 Cat's Aren't Trophies! 😼 Colorado
🤩😺😺 Mountain Lions ❤ and kids so cute. Thankyou for sharing.
stopped listening after the feet and inches onslaught . Please use metric system for international audience.
Sadly, the very same year that this video was made, the eastern mountain Lion went extinct. Yes, EXTINCT. There is only the western mountain lion now.
I don't know. I'm in NE Metro-Atlanta, and have one-half acre that is not landscaped. I've heard things at night. Maybe a small breeding population has survived.
@@Armistead_MacSkye I hope so! But probably it's the western puma. That one is (relatively) common in Florida
@@FossilBox That is not a "western puma." That panther is native to FL. In GA, in the 1930s, my grandma saw a black-phase panther.
Thank you for your work!
This was nicely presented, educational and enjoyable!
Wash needs underpass and overpasses like we have in Florida, no hunting. Mercedes, OB florida
Loved this interview! Deserves more views.
I really enjoyed watching this. I'd like to see links to the book and maybe some of the resources she used.
Excellent presentation.
Thank you for what you do friend.
I am familiar with P22
I am an avid lover of mountain lions and I just discovered you
I detest hunters!!!!
I want to leave a donation when I pass away. Mountain Lions are my extremely favorite animal.
Thanks for this important conversation! 😻
See the 2023 webinar line up here: mountainlion.org/2023/03/17/living-with-lions-webinars-2023/
Liked your book and your talk, your a talented author and a good person. Thank You for sharing your experiences.
This was excellent! Thank you for sharing this via CZcams.
He was my great great uncle. Pretty cool. Good work, sir.
Thank you for the kind words on P22, he will never be forgotten, let's hope he didn't die in vain and that soon that animal crossing will be saving more lions and other animals from P22's fate.
They are beautiful animals. I don’t understand the pleasure hunters take in killing them.
I find the loss of P-22 very, very sad. I have been a member of the Mountain Lion Foundation for at least 15 yrs. I grew up in Hidden Valley CA and saw bobcats and the very rare mountain lion during the 50+ yrs., I lived there. Few people appreciate the wildlife that used to be even more abundant in the Conejo Valley than it is now. He was an educational ambassador for his kind and was so at his own risk! That risk finally did him in!
Unfortunately this did not end well but I believe that the decision to euthanize him was made very carefully.
I started my day with the announcement on my local news channel that P-22 had been sent on his way to the Rainbow Bridge, and I sat down and cried. He was an amazing ambassador representing all mountain lions and how they could live peacefully among us. Run free, beautiful boy. 💖💖💖
Thank you. I could see your pain and I appreciate you pushing through. I have all the confidence in the world with the famous San Diego Zoo and their expertise, and I'm glad they were a part of the decision. Rest in Power our King P-22!
Rest In Peace king 😢
Rest in peace, legendary lion.
Fly high P-22. You are free ❤
Godspeed P22. You will always be legend.
Thanks for posting this 👌🏼 - RIP P
At what stage is the wildlife bridge project? Will that allow other mountain lions to inhabit Griffith Park eventually?
RIP P-22 you will be missed ❤️
As a long-time member of this wonderful organization, I'm really proud of the work they do. Mountain lions are one of our national treasures, and I hope they continue to flourish. If any of you out there are looking for a place to drop some donations, I highly recommend the Mt. Lion Foundation.
Hoping he can find a mate during his retirement 🙏
Living Desert Museum just lost Salem to kidney failure. I bet P22 would be a welcome addition to that amazing park.
