"Ears flattened and teeth bared threateningly, a mountain lion will most likely back off from a human—in a hundred years fewer than 60 attacks have been recorded in the U.S. and Canada. Cougars like this New Mexico cat can kill animals eight times their size."

—From "Learning to Live With Mountain Lions," July 1992, National Geographic magazine
