Mountain Lions in Tehachapi the things you should know

TehachaPod got a chance to talk with Robin Parks from the Mountain Lion Foundation about these big cats that call Tehachapi and California home. We get a chance to separate myth and facts about these predators that live in our nearby mountains. Robin explains how we can be better pet owners when we live in rural areas. He also explains how mountain lions truly want nothing to do with humans and generally leave the area when they hear the human voice. We also talk about misidentification of mountain lions and things we can do if we ever do encounter one of these animals while out in their habitat. More information on the mountain lion can be found at www.MountainLion.org. Send your show thoughts and questions to Media@TehachapiCityHall.com.
