Kansas is home to mountain lions. The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism says there is no evidence of a state-wide population. However, there are some instances of young mountain lions showing up in the area.
While the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Travel has never released mountain lions into the state to control deer populations, the agency has never denied the existence of the cats. The department also has not injected tracking chips into the cats.
In the past decade, 20 big cat sightings have been documented in Kansas. Many of these sightings can be accompanied by animal tracks, or photos from trail cameras. Most of the young cats found have been males. This could mean that the males are searching for mates.
Although there are no confirmed breeding sites, the Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism says that most male mountain lions prefer home ranges of 200 square miles. It is possible that the males might set up home near the Arkansas River in southwest Kansas.
There are several high points within the state. Mount Sunflower is one of the highest points in the state. Both of these mountains are at least 3,300 feet above the state's low point.
It's fascinating to see the history of Kansas' landscape. A number of Native American tribes can be found in the area, including the Pawnee Kaw Cheyenne and Arapaho.
Kansas also includes the Black Hills. They are a topographical transition between the Ozark Highlands and the High Plains. Some biologists believe that mountain lions originating from the Black Hills could be behind recent sightings throughout the state.
It is possible that the cats may be moving from Missouri's Ozarks to the High Plains. Kansas is not an ideal habitat for large cats. According to biologists, the majority of animals are killed or eaten by sheep and llamas.
A young mountain lion was found near Medicine Lodge, Barber County. The GPS collar allowed the tracking of this male. The male traveled nearly a month across western Kansas before being shot.
Since then, the mountain lion's presence has been discussed and studied. There have been fewer than one percent of leads confirmed by the team. One of these led involved a hunter carrying a camera. Another was captured and captured by a Coonhound.
Kansas is home to four counties not yet re-released. It appears that holdouts aren’t ready to make this switch yet.
Mountain lions have not been seen in North Dakota in many years, but they have been spotted in South Dakota's Black Hills, the Pine Ridge region of Nebraska, and the Broken Badlands in North Dakota. Biologists claim that most of these animals are road kills or starving. The prairie grasslands of Great Plains, unlike the Rocky Mountains are not natural habitats for big cats.

How To
How do I start snowboarding for Beginners?
This section will cover how to get started in snowboarding. We'll cover everything from what equipment to buy, where to go, how to learn, etc.
Let's start with some basic definitions...
"Snowboard", A board attached to your foot that allows you to ride down hills while ski-skating. It typically has two edges (front and back), which form the board's shape. The board's front edge is larger than its back edge in order to control speed.
"Skier", a person who is skilled at riding a ski/snowboard down hills. Skiers wear boots called "boots," pants called "pants," and helmets called "helmets." Their heads are protected by helmets when they fall.
Skiing - A sport that involves riding down hills on skis. This can be done on either natural terrains (such as mountains) or man-made surfaces like ski resorts. Skiing requires special equipment, including skis, poles, bindings, boots, jackets, gloves, hats, goggles, sunglasses, socks, and wax.
"Riding down hills" - Before you can ride downhill, it is important to learn how to prevent yourself from falling. Push your legs into the ground by pulling your rear leg forward, and pushing down with your legs. Keep going at this speed until you get to the desired speed. You need to keep moving faster so you have to push your legs up and kick forward. Once you reach the speed you desire, relax your legs and let them come together. You can slow down by simply repeating the process.
After you have learned how to keep yourself from falling to the ground, it is time to determine how fast you want. There are several ways to measure speed. Some people prefer to count laps around the mountain, others prefer to look at the distance covered from one turn to another. If you want to practice controlling your speed, try measuring your speed by timing yourself or by counting laps. Practice makes perfect!
Once you have mastered the art of slowing down and speeding things up, it's time for you to master how to turn. To turn, simply lean towards the side that you want to move towards. Lean too far, and you will crash into the ground. You won't be capable of turning if you lean too much. Once you know how to turn, you can start learning tricks. Tricks are fancy moves on the slopes that require precision timing and balance. They include things like flips, spins, cartwheels, and more.
There are many types of tricks. Some tricks include jumping over obstacles while others involve flipping objects over and spinning around obstacles. Each trick is different. You may have to spin 180 degrees while you jump, or you might need help landing the other side.
There are many types of tricks. Some tricks are precise and accurate, while others require strength and agility. Other tricks require finesse and precision.
Tricks are difficult to master. It's not easy to master tricks, but once you do, you can use them any time, anywhere. While skiing is often viewed as a sport reserved for adults, it's a popular activity among children. It's fun watching kids skate down hills, flip over obstacles, and even perform some pretty impressive tricks.
