Mountain Lions Decline Across Texas Says Wildlife Report
A Texas Parks and Wildlife Department study estimates 65 to 135 mountain lions remain in Texas. Biologist Dennis N Russell notes extinction in East Texas before 1900 and current confinement to rugged areas of the Big Bend Trans-Pecos and South Texas brush country with small pockets near Possum Kingdom Lake. The report ranks the bobcat as thriving versus other native cats like the ocelot and jaguar.
