This past August the DWR surveyed more than 19,000 general season deer and elk permit holders in Utah. The results of the survey prompted the need for two changes for the type of equipment used during the archery and muzzleloader hunting seasons:
Maneless male African lions have also been reported from Senegal, from Sudan's Dinder National Park, and from Tsavo East National Park in Kenya. The original male white lion from Timbavati was also maneless.
They prefer areas with dense undergrowth and cover, and will leave an area if they perceive a threat. Found in deserts, humid coast forests, arid hillsides, scrub and oak woodlands, lions can live from sea level to snow-covered mountain peaks. A ten year lifespan is considered old age for a mountain lion in the wild. Lions in captivity have been known to live twice that long. In areas where mountain lions are hunted for sport, only a small percentage make it past five years old. Mountain lions are solitary unless mating or parenting and maintain territories that average 100 square miles in size.
