Bishop Dunne Offers Free Wildlife Seminar Tuesday; ‘Mountain Lion’ Magically Shrinks
Short notice, here, but I thought you should know about Part 2 of a free Texas-wildlife info session, 9:30 a.m. Tuesday at Bishop Dunne that’s gotten rapt attention from of students, teachers, and admin alike. All are welcome.
“Really,” Dunne spokeswoman Judy Porter said of special guest Bonnie Bradshaw, 911 Wildlife owner and animal control/rehab expert — who has put to rest urban myths about rabid squirrels, among other things — “she’s fascinating. And normally I don’t care about this stuff.”
Oh, and get this. Get. This.
Remember the campus mountain lion we told you about in our Nov. 18 issue — the one roaming Five Mile Creek that’s garnered detailed, German-shepherd-sized descriptions from well-meaning witnesses?
Well, now that they’ve seen it through a motion-sensor camera, notes Porter, “we’re pretty sure it’s just a giant domesticated cat — maybe 20, 25 pounds.”
You heard her.
Understandably, as Bradshaw has explained, people have a tendency to remember big cats as even larger (OK, much freaking larger) than life.
Then reporters get all excited, and the rest is history.
