Lion and Ram fall to their death

All,

I am not the least bit sure about the information attached to these pics...but the pics are certainly authentic and tell a pretty brutal tale.

It appears that the cat had decided that the young ram looked like a decent enough meal...but failed to think things through. From the pics, it looks like the cat got ahold of the ram and either forced it over the cliff or the ram TRIED to get to stepper ground while the cat tried to take him down. Either way, they both met pavement...ending the lived of both.

(The information I have is that this occured in Glacier National Park. It looks a lot like BC to me but quite frankly, it doesn't matter. The pics are pretty cool.)

 I thought the same thing, my friend. The only reason this was found is because they fell onto a road. How many times does this happen in the middle of nowhere?

Gotta love the hair in the mouth of the cat. At least he got a taste before the end lol

After looking at this time and again I think your right AGCHAWK about it being BC. I am not a sheep expert (wish I was) but that looks more a stone sheep than bighorn. Color,horn shape, and length of hair........I don't know? Any sheep experts out there?

It really does make you wonder how often this kind of thing happens. There is not much room for error on those rocks.

I was thinking the exact same thing. I'm sure it happens more than any of us will ever realize.

Great post AGCHAWK!

This the info that came with the email I received.

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!

So did I. Of course, in today's internet world, I think we have all learned that the stories behind these emails can get "skewed" for lack of a better term.

No matter...as I stated in my original post, the pics really tell the tale...not the text that came along with em.

 Agreed. It would be nice to hear a first hand account of what happened on that cliff, but I dont think either one of them are talking...... Who knows it could still be a fake, we may never know. Either way it's a good post :thumb
