Hello all, see attached photos.

Background: My brother, Daniel, was visiting a friend in Montana and
touring through Glacier National Park. They were hiking up a CLOSED
ROAD when they came upon this scene. It is evident that the mountain
lion and bighorn sheep were fighting on the mountain and fell to their
immediate death sometime during the struggle. Pay special attention to
the mouth of the mountain lion.....as it still has sheep hide in its
mouth!!!! ENJOY!

I can't think of a better way for a cat to go down!

That is AMAZING. Doesn't look like the animals had been there too long either. What a find that would have been! Thanks for the pics.

There's proof that cats don't always land on their feet....

makes you wonder if the ram knew he was going to die either way and decided to jump with the lion on his back...

Now THAT is taking one for the team! Way to go!

Amazing!

It makes you wonder how many more once in a lifetime sheep tags we could have without lions being part of the equation. That appears to have been a healthy ram with great potential.
