Out of Sight . . . but still present

Rear footprint of a mountain lion Brad Heckman	This deer was killed and eaten by a mountain lion, the only animal around here large enough to do it.  The lion had finished and vultures were waiting up the hill for their turn. Bob Brittain
A well-aged deer skull.  This could have been a mountain lion kill, or the deer's death might have been due to other causes. Brad Heckman	We found this vole skull under a bush.  It was so tiny we had to pick it up to see what animal it was.  And then, of course, we carefully put it back where we found it. Brad Heckman
