Wildlife encounters

This little guy came right towards me, scratched a bed for himself and laid down. Poor quality picture because it was almost dark.

My friend that lives on the other side of the hill has been seeing 2 Diamond backs (not the bike) a week on his ranch. It's early in the season to see them according to him.
He showed me pictures and videos of the last one. Beeeutiful markings, about 2-2 1/2" across, and 48" long. They are getting some well fed and large ones over there. Some are up to 5' long.

No thank you

Young boy attacked by a Mtn Lion at Tapia park in Malibu Cyn, on 1 Sep. The lion treed itself and the rangers killed it. I tell you those are lions that live in the local mountains.

Saw a Bobcat come off the trail and crossed the street to my neighbor's front yard today.

For those riding Black Star, Skyline, or Coal Canyon - keep in mind that the vast majority of habitat in the Santa Anas is now gone, so guess where deer, bobcats, and the big kitties are going.....

Heads on a swivel, folks.

Saw this little guy on the Aliso Creek Bike Trail last night.
10-12" long or so, not as big around as a #2 pencil, hard to make out coloration or pattern in the dark.
