  1. (I think) I got it - the tree canopy clearing above the elk's shoulder. I think I can make out the cougar's face along the top edge of clearing.

    Sneaky sumbiotch !

  2. That one took a while. Closer to the camera than I was looking at first.

  3. No go for me and I even blew it up. Needless to say that mountain lion would be eating me right now as we speak

  4. Found him in 30 seconds. It helps to enlarge the picture as much as possible.

  5. 3 o'clock, about half way between the elk and the tree.

    The mountain lion looks a lot smaller than I thought he would be.

    1. That's what I first thought too. Then I talked myself into the blotch of brown brush about an inch above the elks hind quarter. Left side and top of brush patch.
      Who cares?
      Cats gotta eat too.

  9. I was 100% sure I found him. Then I zoomed in. He was just an inch below where I thought. Mr. Elk, go easy on him, he's just a kid.

  10. I have often wondered how many animals a lion kills a year to stay alive. 100? More? So if you had a 100 lions it would be 10,000 deer dead for example? I have no idea, just guessing.

  13. Wow! Didn’t find it until after perusing comments; I was originally thinking above the base of the neck in the bushes (which still looks like an animal face to me).

  14. That mountain lion was already back in her cave with her kits when this photo was snapped!
