 Wild Mountain Lion Photos

Gorgeous
The beautiful mountain lion stayed for 3-4 minutes, slaking its thirst at the spring. Close-up photos of wild cougars that aren't taken with a remote or camera trap are very rare. These shy and elusive animals rarely linger near humans (or pose for photographers for that matter), so I consider myself incredibly lucky. This will go down as one of the greatest wildlife encounters of my life!
