Steve Torres has written an excellent easy reading and interesting guide to living safely in and near mountain lions and their habitat. The author included current information about lion history, biology, and behavior, as well as several chapters explaining step by step procedures to protect people, runners and bike riders, property, pets, children and livestock. His writing is consistant with other professional writings and is presented in a unbiased manner with enough scientific information to please mountain lion research enthusiasts, and simple enough for more novice readers. The book can be read is a few sittings and the material can be referenced in the future.

Steven Torres truly captures the cougar. While bringing to light the potential conflicts between pumas,humans/livestock Torres also makes known the respect and admiration these majestic cats so mich deserve....A must read for anyone who loves the wild and the life therein...

I was wary about hiking in mountain lion country, but this book reassured me and gave me great tips on how to avoid an encounter as well as what to do in the event of an encounter.

This book advised me to attack the puma and hit it in the throat if confronted. I tried this and it didn't work. Now i have only one arm. Thanks a lot dumb book!
