Panthers in California

Panthers are very abundant on tho
McCloud river and very destructive to
stock. especially to pigs; and from the
experience we have had with them
here, should say that in this region
at least they very seldom climb trees.
They are perfectly well able to. but
they can jump into a tree so much
quicker and easier than they can climb
into it that they very seldom. il ever.
resort to climbing. think they would
consider it slow work. The hunters
here assert very positively. aud stick
to it. that panthers can jump to the
limb OF a tree twenty or thirty feet
from the ground. and as all
the trees about here have limbs
nearer the ground than that. it IS
obvious that our panthers would have
very little occasion To resort TO tho
slow process of climbing. But in other
parts of the country where the trees
grow to a greater height without
branches there is hardly doubt, I
think. that panthers climb up the
trunks of the trees when necessity for
il occurs. But even then / fancy that
they jump the first twenty feet or
more up the tree They must certain
ly be able &c climb trees whenever they
want TO, for their claws and limbs are
much stronger compared with the
weight of their bodies than is the case
with our common house cat. which
climbs trees easily enough Forest and
