Re: [RC] Advice on Mountain Lions - Sisu West Ranch
"... Even a
horse can?t out run them, so running away is futile ..."
I don't know about your horse, but I can't
imagine any of my horses facing a charging lion and not doing a 180 and running
at top speed. The rider may end up injured on the ground, not a good
thing.
Can a horse outrun a Lion? The answer depends upon
the lead the horse has. 5 yards is probably not enough. Is 15
enough? 50 is surely enough. Wolves and their kin run down prey,
pursuing for miles if needed. Cats jump from ambush. A completely
different hunting style.
