Chris Seibold is an engineer, writer, and cartoonist residing in Knoxville, Tennessee. As an engineer, he has tackled such diverse processes as powder coating and hot dog casing manufacture. As a writer, he has focused on computing and written for a variety of online and traditional media, including serving as Senior Contributing Editor for the Apple Matters web site and contributing hacks to iPod and iTunes Hacks, with a talent for making the complex accessible to the interested but harried user. As a cartoonist, he has produced both cartoon strips and editorials. Chris also managed to spend some time working producing radio shows relating to sports. As soon as he hits television, the trifecta will be complete. Chris lives with his wife, young son, and what is quite possibly the world's dimmest canine. He has a degree in Physics from the University of Tennessee but has yet to find work involving frictionless inclined planes.
The animal on the cover of
OS X Mountain Lion Pocket
Guide
is a puma (
Puma concolor
). The puma is
known by varying names in different regions, including mountain lion,
mountain cat, catamount, or panther. This mammal of the family Felidae is
native to the Americas. Only trumped in size by the jaguar, the puma is the
second heaviest cat in the Western Hemisphere, where it also boasts the
largest range of any large wild terrestrial mammal. Pumas can be found in
any major American habitat stretching from Canada to South America.
The puma is known for its stalk-and-ambush style of hunting, and feeds
on wild animals—elk, deer, moose, bighorn sheep—as well as domestic animals
such as horses, sheep, and cattle. These cats prefer habitats that lend to
stalking, such as dense brush and rocky areas. The puma’s major competitors
for prey include the grey wolf, American black bear, jaguar, and the grizzly
bear.
Excessive hunting and human development has caused population numbers
to drop in recent years, and populations of pumas have recently begun to
move east into parts of the Midwest, including the Dakotas, Nebraska, and
Oklahoma.
