Every six months or so (usually during sweeps), Channel 4 or Channel 9 try to drum up some fear, ratings and web traffic by reporting that a mountain lion is on the loose in Central Oklahoma. They do this because mountain lions are shy, solitary, rarely-seen creatures that kill a few Americans each decade, therefore we should all be nervous, scared and on alert when going for a hike at Martin Nature Park.
After the news stations do this, I typically follow up a day or two later with my own write-up. This is so I can re-use that trail photo of Tall Paul nervously trying to sell a Mountain Lion an insurance policy, and, well, get some cheap web traffic.
