Why do you think the western cats so much more aggressive.
Hi fakahatchee. I tend to doubt the western cats are more aggressive than your Florida cats. Just thousands more lions spread out over numerous states out west and the odds catch up every so often and somebody gets attacked. Out west, virtually anyplace that has brush or trees for cover and deer, will have a lion using the area when they make their rounds.
We've spent hours and hours out in our local "woods" Lonny and the only lion we've seen is one my wife saw from her car when it crossed the road as she was headed to work 5 or 6 years back.
That doesn't count all the time I worked in the woods in NorCal doing stream surveys for a timber company, or all the hunting time I've put in while living in various states including up by you. We did have at least one come through the housing area at Lower Granite as I was driving in one night after work. Ran down the road in front of my car.
