From Pantheras Puma Project: By now many of you may have seen the viral video of a trail runner's encounter with a mother mountain lion in Utah. If you haven't, we've put the link below. Dramatic headlines like "Mountain Lion Stalks Man" and this person's own video title "Cougar Attack in Utah Mountain Lion Stalks Me For Six Minutes" can be very misleading. This was obviously an intense and scary encounter, and we would have been pretty terrified by such an interaction (to s...ay the least). However, context is important. If you watch the video, you can see at least two "cubs" or "kittens" before momma comes towards the runner. This is a case of a mother doing what most mothers do: defending her young. She was trying to get the man to leave the area. Stalking behavior is very different; if the man were seen as prey, the lion would probably have stayed stealthily out of sight and directly attacked, likely leading to a much different outcome. Dramatic headlines do nothing to help us coexist with our non-human neighbors. As our friend Beth Pratt, mountain lion advocate and Regional Executive Director at the @National Wildlife Federation in California says: "We should have a healthy respect for mountain lions, but not demonize them- they are not waiting in the woods ready to pounce on us at any moment. For the most part, they want to avoid us." Anytime we enter habitat shared with large predators it's important to know what they mean by their actions. Overt, but more often subtle ways of communicating telegraph their intent and consequently, how we should reciprocate with our behavior. The very fact that we don't see the grizzly bear that is in our neighborhood right now, or never find the lion's kill near our normal walking routes until well after it's left, is by design. These creatures and so many others are profoundly scared of US. WE are most threatening species on earth and every top carnivore shies from our company whether we are playing the role of the hunter or not.

Seems about right...

Privatized Provincial Parks, and Conservation Areas sold to developers. That's where Ontario is headed. @FordNation has removed public protections from these areas under the cover of the pandemic. It's time to speak up!

Ferns don't have fruit or seeds, so how do they reproduce? https://twitter.com/Exploration/status/1313071718190243842 Here's Heather #ExplorationProject to explain some interesting facts and history!

I had an awesome group with me for this hike, unfortunately, due to pandemic, the trails were over crowded. Everything from people in tshirt shorts and sandals to skirts and high heels trying to climb the escarpment. So, we had to turn back a few times and replan the hike as we went. Still, captured many amazing photos, and had a great time with my hiking buds.

What an awesome day for a hike! Bright, Sunny, Warm, and a great group of people to accompany me on some old and new trails. Starting at the Decou House, we hiked the Bruce Trail to the repurposed Glenridge Quarry. The Quarry was new to me and everyone in the group, and it did not disappoint. Many trails that offer many different views and terrain.
