SUMMARY:Trailside Naturalist - Big Cats in the Preserve - Gateway Trailhead
DESCRIPTION:Big Cats in the Preserve \nMountain Lions\, also known in North America as the puma\, cougar\, catamount or panther live in the Preserve. They are almost never observed because they mainly roam from dusk to dawn. During the day these apex predators are masters of camouflage doing their very best to avoid humans. The Conservancy’s Parsons Field Institute – Wildlife Camera Project has captured wonderful photos of these magnificent cats in the Preserve. Come learn about these elusive mammals that have been known to leap 23 feet in a single bound and their importance to a healthy desert ecology. \n*Trailside Naturalist is a family-friendly educational offering on many Saturday mornings.  The presentations feature hands-on materials and specimens and cover a variety of topics about the flora and fauna of the Preserve.  The informal setting allows visitors to ask questions and learn interesting information about the amazing biodiversity of the Sonoran Desert.  Sign up is not necessary\, stop by anytime.
