Kansas has seen mountain lions return to Kansas. According to Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism, the state does not have any evidence of a breeding population. However, there are some instances of young mountain lions showing up in the area.
Although the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Travel (KSDOWP) has not released mountain lions in the state to help control deer population, it has never denied the existence of these cats. It has not also injected tracking devices into the lions.
Kansas has witnessed 20 sightings of big cats over the past decade. Many of these sightings are accompanied with animal tracks or trail camera photographs. Most of the young cats that have been found are male. This could mean that males are seeking mates.
Although there are no breeding grounds, the Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism has stated that most male mountain bears prefer home areas of 200 miles. The possibility exists that males could set up camp along the Arkansas River in southwest Kansas.
There are a few high points in the state. These include Lookout Mountain and Mount Sunflower. Both of these mountains are at least 3,300 feet above the state's low point.
Kansas' terrain can be interesting. Humans have been living in this area for thousands upon thousands of year. A number of Native American tribes can be found in the area, including the Pawnee Kaw Cheyenne and Arapaho.
Kansas also has the Black Hills. They serve as a topographical border between the Ozark Highlands (High Plains) and the Black Hills. According to some biologists, mountain lions may have been contributing to the recent sightings.
There is also the possibility of the cats moving from Missouri's Ozarks into the High Plains. Kansas is not the best habitat for big cats. Biologists also believe that most animals in Kansas are killed by sheep or llamas.
A young mountainlion was spotted in Barber County, near Medicine Lodge. The GPS collar enabled the tracking of the male. It was almost a month old when it traveled across western Kansas, before it was captured.
Since then, the mountain lion's presence has been discussed and studied. Only 1% of the leads were confirmed by the team. One of these leads involved a hunter with a camera. Another was captured and captured by a Coonhound.
Kansas is home to four counties not yet re-released. It seems that the holdouts have not yet made the decision to make the switch.
Mountain lions have not been seen in North Dakota in many years, but they have been spotted in South Dakota's Black Hills, the Pine Ridge region of Nebraska, and the Broken Badlands in North Dakota. Biologists say that most of these animals have been sighted as road kills or dead from starvation. Big cats are not found in the Great Plains prairie grasslands, which is a different habitat than the Rocky Mountains.
