They found and killed this particular lion, sadly.
Do they come into the city looking for food (tipped over garbage cans, small pets, etc.)?
Good question , I guess this kitty wasnt too scared of humans , most likely why they put it under and didtn relocate it.
Not much for garbage scavenging from what I understand. Likely feeding on rabbits and raccoons of which there are plenty in this area.
Rabbit tastes very good too! Hard to catch though, and will lead to health problems if that is all you eat due to low fat content.
I love a good rabbit burger!
Mountain lions of course not have the same issuesâŚ.
Low fat means rabbit can be hard to cook, too. We have rabbits in plague proportions in many areas of Oz, dating from the mid 1800s when British settlers brought them out for hunting. Unfortunately, many of their predators such as eagles, hawks and dingos (native Australian dogs) have been hunted and/or their habitats destroyed by rabbits, camels, feral cats, deer, goats, feral pigs, cane toads and other introduced pests.
Rabbit still has a âpoor mans meatâ image here as it was a staple meat during the Great Depression.Iâm sure pumas donât care about that.
A usual way to cook rabbit is slow cooked in a casserole with prunes, onions, carrots and red wine, etc and it can work very well. Fillets are a bit harder as they can quickly dry out.
