Mountain lions have made their way back to Kansas. According to Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism, the state does not have any evidence of a breeding population. However, some young mountain lions are being seen in the area.
Although the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Travel (KSDOWP) has not released mountain lions in the state to help control deer population, it has never denied the existence of these cats. The department has never implanted tracking chips in the lions.
Kansas has recorded 20 big cat sightings in the past decade. Many of these sightings were accompanied or documented by trail camera photos and animal tracks. Most of the young cats found have been males. This could mean that the males are searching for mates.
Although there are not confirmed breeding locations, the Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism claims that most male mountain-lions prefer 200-square mile home ranges. It is possible for males to establish a home along the Arkansas River, southwest Kansas.
There are several high points within the state. Mount Sunflower and Lookout Mountain are two of these high points. These mountains rise at least 3300 feet above the state’s lowest point.
Kansas' terrain is fascinating. It is worth noting that Kansas has been home to humans since thousands of years. There are many Native American tribes, including the Pawnee and Kaw, Cheyenne, Arapaho and Cheyenne.
Kansas also includes the Black Hills. They represent a topographical transition in the Ozark Highlands from the High Plains. Biologists suggest that mountain lions from Black Hills may be responsible for recent sightings within the state.
There's also the possibility that the cats might be moving from Missouri to Kansas. Kansas is not a suitable habitat for large cats. Biologists also believe that most animals in Kansas are killed by sheep or llamas.
A young mountain lion was found near Medicine Lodge, Barber County. The GPS collar enabled the tracking of the male. The male traveled nearly a month across western Kansas before being shot.
Since then, discussions and research have focused on the mountain lion's existence. The team has confirmed less than one percent of the leads. One of these leads was captured by a hunter equipped with a camera. Another was caught by a coonhound.
Kansas is home four counties which have not been rereleased. The holdouts may not be ready to switch just yet.
Although mountain lions were not seen in South Dakota for a while, they have been found in the Black Hills of South Dakota as well as in the Pine Ridge of Nebraska and in the Broken Badlands, North Dakota. Biologists believe that most of these animals were either roadkills or starving. The Great Plains prairie grasslands are not an ideal habitat for large cats like the Rocky Mountains.

Let's start with some basic definitions...
"Snowboard", A board attached to your foot that allows you to ride down hills while ski-skating. It usually has two edges (front & back) which make up the board's shape. The board's front edge is larger than its back edge in order to control speed.
"Skier" means someone who uses skis/snowboards to get down hills. Skiers wear boots, pants and helmets. They protect their heads from falling with helmets.
"Skiing" is a sport where you ride down hills on skis. This can be done on either natural terrains (such as mountains) or man-made surfaces like ski resorts. Skiing requires special equipment. This includes skis, poles. bindings. boots. jackets. gloves. hats. sunglasses. socks.
"Riding Down Hills": To ride downhill you have to first learn how stop yourself from falling. To do this, push your legs against the ground while simultaneously pulling your back leg up. Next, kick your front leg forward. You keep doing this until you reach the desired speed. The faster you travel, the harder you must pull your legs up and kick them forward. Once you have reached your desired speed, let your legs relax and allow them to come together. When you want to slow down, you just repeat the process.
Once you are able to stop yourself falling into the ground and you have figured out how to stop it, you can determine how fast your goal speed is. There are many ways you can measure speed. Some people prefer to count laps around the mountain, others prefer to look at the distance covered from one turn to another. You can practice controlling your speed by measuring your speed using timing or counting laps. Practice makes perfect!
Once you have mastered slowing down and speeding up, it's time to figure out how to turn. To turn, you just need to lean your body towards the direction you want. To far and you'll fall into the ground. Too much and you'll be unable to turn. Once you can turn well enough, you can begin learning tricks. Tricks are complex moves that require balance and timing. They include cartwheels, spins or flips.
There are many types of tricks. You can do tricks like jumping over obstacles or flipping obstacles. There are also tricks that require you to spin over obstacles. Each trick comes with its own set of requirements. If you want to jump over something, for example, you may need to spin 180° in midair to land on the other side.
There are many kinds of tricks. There are many types of tricks. Some require precision and accuracy. Others require strength.
