Epic battle between cougar and bighorn results in fatal fall from cliff.



Found along a closed road in Glacier National Park.  Apparently, the battle between them resulted in both falling to their deaths on the road below.  The jungle (or as here, the mountain wilderness) is red in tooth and claw.

Link to more pictures, but be warned, they are not for the squeamish.

    An interesting way for two noble warriors to end it. Not all together bad.

    That looks to be part of the Going-to-the-Sun-Road over Logan Pass. What a great drive. I sure wouldn't want either of those guys fall on my hood as I passed by!

    it wasn't like that. It was two long term friends out for a stroll when they were hit by some teenager who was TXTing, "OMG, This road is so awesome" **THUMP-THUMP** "OMG, This road is really rough too".

    Just part of Nature in the wild. At least they didn't slowly starve to death like so many do in the winter. The end was quick. Sad, though.
