~ 20 - 25 years ago, a rancher about 20 miles north of Las Vegas had a horse attacked, by a mountain lion, in his corral.
As he was once the head of the Brand Board in NM , and the attack was verified by a local vet, and Game & Fish - I'll believe it.
(Not to mention, I have known him, personally since 1960, or so)
"Old Timers" used to claim lions preferred horse flesh to all other - and I'm talking fellows who would be WELL over 100, if still alive.
I used to know a LOT of old codgers - now I are one!
