Cougar takes down a ram

Post by NotEnufTags » Thu May 14, 2009 11:05 am

I got an email today.

This it what it said.

> Last
> night a couple of the staff went fishing on the lake and
> captured this incredible sequence of photos of a
> cougar making a kill.
>
> To see this is once in a lifetime. At the same time,
> the 6:00
> pm
> wildlife cruise had just left the dock and the staff
> members in the
> fishing boat had the presence of mind to call on
> their cell phone to
> alert our tour drivers. This is what they saw
> happening.
>
> The cougar is about 6 feet long, not including tail
> (a big full
> grown cougar) and his victim was a 4 year old Rocky
> Mountain Bighorn
> Sheep (a Ram). He never had a chance.

Here's the pics it came with
