A family of bobcats has moved into one of the many foreclosed houses in an upscale community in Southern California. According to the Los Angeles Times, neighbors in the Tuscany Hills community spotted the felines lounging around and on the Spanish-style house and called authorities thinking the cats were mountain lions. When authorities arrived, they found two adult bobcats and three kittens living in the spacious house.

The daring mountain lion that entered an Idledale couple's home and killed their dog early Sunday morning was trapped and killed Tuesday. Reports say the lion entered the home through French doors that were left open. Two dogs slept in the bedroom with Mack and Jacquie Anderson, and Jackquie awoke upon hearing a scuffling to see a dark shape she knew was an animal that was not her own.

Several fingers and intestines were all that was left of a gamekeeper in South African when he was eaten by six lions. Authorities said the 49-year-old man was working at the Uitspan game farm in northwest South Africa Tuesday when he entered the cage of the lions to give them water.

Reports had initially said that six sea lions in the Columbia River had been gunned down. It's now believed, however, that their deaths were not a result of gunshots after all. Recent bans on salmon fishing on the Weast Coast may have inspired fisherman who depend on the salmon for their livelihoods to corner the market, so to speak, by eliminating their fiercest competitor - the sea lion.

In an attempt to protect her dog, an 80-year old woman shot and killed a mountain lion that was in her French Creek home. Martha Smith tried to shoot the lion but missed the first time, forcing her to rush back to her house and dial 911.
