Mountain Lions Used Whistling to Communicate While Killing 17 Sheep on Napa Ranch

#2504 - Skylar Grey
"Elliot was out there thinking that he heard the guys whistling. But I guess it was the cats whistling. Mountain lions whistle to communicate with each other. We went down from like 20 to 3 sheep. There were two cats hunting together and that's why the dogs were getting confused."
Skylar Grey recounted a harrowing months-long ordeal where two mountain lions systematically killed 17 of her 20 sheep on her 400-acre Napa property. The cats used vocalizations that mimicked human whistling to coordinate attacks, confusing tracking dogs for over a week. Fish and Wildlife initially dismissed her sighting as probably a bobcat before the predators killed sheep nightly, including her bottle-fed lamb named Valentine.
