And had the opportunity to hear the blood curdling scream of a mountain lion. In OUR neck of the woods, the "cougar" is an apex predator, and is feared as much as any grizzly or mouse attack.

I'd take a cougar over a bulldog any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

WE ARE ALL THE ROC, may it roar loud, strong, and true forever.

Go Cougs!
