Consider the Predators of the Mountains and How They Live

Been thinking about predators, mountain lions in particular. About how difficult and demanding their life is: hunting for a next meal, finding prey that moves, that can fight back. Consider the plant eaters and how they thrive. Wandering over to the meadow, to the willow, to the shrub, scraping in the soil for roots. I admire the predator, the lonely vigilance their life requires, but to live like that? No thanks. I prefer grocery stores.

Here’s an amazing photograph taken by a Japanese space probe circling the moon.
