Glen Canyon Lecture Series - "Mountain Lions" presented by Grand Canyon Park Ranger Lori Rome
Date: Tuesday, October 14, 2008
Time: 7:00 pm
Time: Lecture begins at 7:00 pm (Doors open at 6:30 pm) (Arizona Mountain Standard Time)
Where: Carl Hayden Visitor Center at Glen Canyon Dam, Hwy 89, Page, AZ
Description: Join Ranger Lori Rome for a presentation on the mountain lion, puma concolor. The story of the mountain lion is a complex story of fear. Lions are fearsome creatures and Grand Canyon’s top predator. Humanity often feels great fear for this skilled hunter as a threat to their own safety, though our fears are misplaced. Knowledge is power and the more one learns about mountain lions, the more opportunity one has to realize that losing lions is to be feared more than the animal itself. Lions play a tremendous role in wilderness ecosystem; they help maintain balance. They symbolize the very wilderness their lives demand and are reminders to us that true wilderness stills exists. You will learn interesting statistics and facts about lions, hear scary stories, learn how wildlife biologists study this magnificent creature, and view amazing images of lions.
Admission is free. The Glen Canyon Lecture Series is sponsored by Glen Canyon Natural History Association, Powell Museum, and Page Public Library and provided as a service to the community and the visitors to Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Rainbow Bridge National Monument, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, and Glen Canyon Dam/Lake Powell.
