The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism reports that mountain lions have returned to Kansas. The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism says there is no evidence of a state-wide population. There are however, instances where young mountain lions have been seen in the region.
Although the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Travel (KSDOWP) has not released mountain lions in the state to help control deer population, it has never denied the existence of these cats. It has not also injected tracking devices into the lions.
Kansas has documented 20 sightings of big cat in the past ten years. Many of these sightings can be accompanied by animal tracks, or photos from trail cameras. The majority of the young cats discovered are male. This could signify that the males might be searching for mates.
Although there are no breeding grounds, the Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism has stated that most male mountain bears prefer home areas of 200 miles. It is possible that the males may set up shop along the Arkansas River in southwest Kansas.
There are a few high points in the state. Mount Sunflower and Lookout Mountain are two of these high points. Both these mountains are located at least 3,300 ft above the state’s lowest point.
Kansas' geography is interesting because it shows that humans have lived in the area for thousands of years. There are several Native American Tribes in Kansas, including Cheyenne, Pawnee, Cheyenne, Cheyenne, and Arapaho.
Kansas also has the Black Hills. They are a topographical transition between the Ozark Highlands and the High Plains. Recent sightings in the state have been suggested by biologists as mountain lions possibly from the Black Hills.
There is also the possibility of the cats moving from Missouri's Ozarks into the High Plains. Kansas is not a suitable habitat for large cats. Biologists say that the majority of big cats are killed by sheep and llamas.
A young mountainlion was captured near Medicine Lodge in Barber County. The male was tracked using a GPS collar. It traveled almost a month through western Kansas before being captured.
Since then, the mountain-lion's presence in the area has been discussed and researched. There have been fewer than one percent of leads confirmed by the team. One of these leads was a hunter using a camera. Another was captured and captured by a Coonhound.
Kansas has four counties that are still unreleased. It seems that the holdouts have not yet made the decision to make the switch.
Although mountain lions were not seen in South Dakota for a while, they have been found in the Black Hills of South Dakota as well as in the Pine Ridge of Nebraska and in the Broken Badlands, North Dakota. Biologists claim that most of these animals are road kills or starving. Unlike the Rocky Mountains, the prairie grasslands of the Great Plains are not a natural habitat for big cats.
