5. Big cats are truly the most majestic of all animals I think.

Where I live they're called Mountain Lions and adults weigh about 90-125 lbs on average. A couple of years ago one grabbed a pitbull that was being walked on a leash and ran away with it. The owner said the pitbull never made a sound after the initial yelp when it was grabbed by the throat and both were gone in about 20 seconds. It happened on one of our local hiking trails.

There's a local legend about a Mountain Lion living in the local mountains that weighs upward of 150 lbs but it's impossible to find anyone who's ever seen it. I've seen two in the 8 years I've been living up here.
