Conserving this heritage is a task the National Park Service cannot accomplish alone. All of us serve a critical role in maintaining Zion’s sanctuary for the future.

WARNING! STEEP CLIFFS

Mountain Lions

MOUNTAIN LIONS ARE WILD ANIMALS AND CAN BE DANGEROUS. THEY HAVE BEEN OBSERVED frequently in the park. An attack by one is unlikely—there is a far greater risk of being struck by lightning. Zion National Park has never had a reported attack on people or pets. However, mountain lions have attacked in other areas.

Four mountain lions will be radio-collared in the Zion area as part of a multi-year study to learn more about the habits of these elusive creatures.

Recommendations For Your Safety • Do not run! Try to look large. Put your • Watch children closely, and never let them arms up. run ahead or lag behind. • If a mountain lion approaches, wave your • Solo hiking or jogging is not recom- arms, shout, and throw rocks or sticks at it. mended. • If attacked, fi ght back. • Never approach a mountain lion.
